From his childhood, Keri developed a passion for music and began playing the keyboard right from his childhood. He got a chance to join R&B band Mint Condition where he played the keyboard with the band.

She was born on October 7, 1967, in Severn, Maryland. Her father Michael Conrad Braxton was a clergyman, her mom Evelyn Jackson was a former opera singer and cosmetologist and also a pastor.

Braxton is the eldest of six siblings; she has a younger brother Michael Jr. and four younger sisters (Traci, Towanda, Trina, and Tamar). They were all raised in a strict religious household. Toni attended Bowie University to obtain a teaching degree but decided to sing professionally after she was discovered by William E. Pettaway Jr. who reportedly heard her singing while pumping gas and offered to produce for her and Toni though skeptic, decided to accept.

Braxton and her four sisters began performing as The Braxtons in the late 80’s and were signed to Arista Records in 1989 and that was the beginning of their professional careers.
