In this weeks podcast I'm joined by Tori Allen Martin and Vonne. Both super talented performers in their own right with a lot to say about healthy eating and their weight loss journey!

Tori Allen Martin

Born in New York and brought up in Kingston Upon Thames, Tori is a singer, songwriter, actor, director and co-founder of Burn Bright, a platform that aims to level the playing field for womxn in theatre. Tori's career as a singer has seen her perform on stages from the Ahoy Arena in Rotterdam to The Lincoln Centre, NYC. She appears on Idris Elba's 'mi Mandela' album alongside Maverick Sabre and George the Poet and on various Eliza and the Bear tracks after working as their lead backing vocalist around the launch of their first album. Though music has always been her first love, Tori is best known for television appearances on BBC'S London Kills and Pandemonium, ITV's Unforgotten 3 and Channel 4's Pure. Tori's 2nd ep 'Half Full' released on March 19th is an honest and vulnerable record about escaping from a toxic love affair and ends on a high with a track (I'll Be The One) about easing into new relationships without the pressure of 'labels' or expectation. 'I sat on this record for ages because it felt too personal. I could only release it when I was fully over the person it's about. In all honesty, I don't think it's him I had to get over, I think it was my fear of relationships.

Vonné (pronounced von-nae)

The 26 year old Singer Songwriter grew up in South East London. After discovering her love for singing she asked her Mum if she could join her Church Choir. Her parents encouraged her to learn how to play the guitar and she then went on to study music at The Academy Of Contemporary Music.

Since graduating Vonné has toured as a backing vocalist with Artists such as Emeli Sandé, Mabel on the Harry Styles support, Nao and with Grime Legend & ‘Top Boy’ Star Kano.

Her debut EP Love Games gained loads of coverage from BBC 1Xtra, BBC Introducing, Reprezent, The Beat, Pulse88 and online Press includes Earmilk, Apitate and more. At the start of the last year she released her 3rd single “Twice” which was named ‘Track of The Week’ by DJ Ace on BBC 1Xtra, made the C List on Pulse88 & the Brand New List on the Beat.

Her sophomore EP is out & making noise with the lead single “Someone Like Me” being her second ‘Track Of The Week’ on BBC 1Xtra & within one year. Vonné was one of the Top 21 winners in the ‘I Saw It First Look’ competition. 2020 is definitely looking promising for the Songstress.
