In 2019 Toni Jones started making music as a tool for her life coaching clients to practice healing on the go. After great response from her first album, she decided to make music full time. She has released five projects so far: Affirmations for The Grown Ass Woman, Affirmations and Chill, I See Me Mantras, Get Cha Mind Right (the mental health mixtape) on YouTube and ME VS EVERYME Affirmations of Self Love. The music she creates is healing and she coined it "Affirmation Music" because of its inner conversation-based Affirmations set to modern music. Music has a medicinal legacy and she believes that it can be used as a mental health tool to heal self talk, all while enjoying the vibes and rhythms of the beats, which is different from reciting the traditional Affirmations and mantras to relaxing meditation music. This allows the listeners to go about their life while being well.
