Her Father, Reolando, also a singer & musician, owned a barber shop in the tiny town of Canonsburg, Pa, (also home of the famous Perry Como). He always sang around the home, and Antoinette grew up living with music, in both her heart & soul. But it wasn’t until later in life that she answered an ad in a local newspaper, and from there it was no stopping her. She went on to use her God-given talent and sing in the finest establishments; clubs, festivals, benefits, and private parties in Pittsburgh & the Tri-State area, New York, Chicago, and as far as Georgia & California. Antoinette is also a National Recording Artist, and now has four CD’s to her credit. She has written several songs, including “Where Do We Go From Here”, which was recorded as a duet with the famous Lead Singer Mr. Howard Hewett of Shalamar. Her music has been heard in the USA, and as far away as Spain, Finland, Turkey & Scandanavia, with Songs & Albums alike that have hit #1 on various charts!
