Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) August 28, 2005 -- One of pop music's most exciting artists is now back in action. Tonya Mitchell has resurfaced after a much needed break. In 2000 Mitchell took the music industry by storm with her album "I Represent." The album, which propelled Tonya into the mainstream was spurred on with the crossover hit single "Broken Promises." This fall, Tonya Mitchell is back to bless her fans all over again.

Tonya Mitchell was discovered in 1998, while singing at a regional benefit for St. Jude's Hospital.

"I had a cold that day, and I didn't even want to go," Tonya, who was then fifteen, recalls. "After I finished singing, a man came up to me and said he really liked my voice. He said Justin Timberlake from 'N Sync was his grandson, and that maybe he could help me. This was back before 'N Sync got really famous, and we were just like, 'Who's that?'"

Tonya didn't think much would come of it, but the encounter ultimately led to a meeting with Just In Time Management's Lynn Harless, Timberlake's mother. Tonya eventually signed with Universal Records and in short order entered the studio to record her twelve-song debut. Being asked to be one of the opening acts for the *NSYNC* Pop Odyssey Tour in 2001 took Tonya's career to a higher level by making appearances at venue's with some of the worlds biggest acts today which included: Nelly, Boys II Men, Lil Romeo, Dream and Tyrese just to name a few.

Things were looking very promising for the young Mitchell but things began to die down quickly. In early 2002, labels we're not returning calls or answering emails so her father took it upon himself to help her out, trying to get her back into the pop culture. Soon after, her father passed away and Tonya decided to take a much needed break. In early 2003 she got married and started a family, now after almost 4 years of silence she's breaking back into music with Brand-On entertainment, and as she says "doing it for her father."

Now she is back and better then ever. After having taken some time off Tonya has perfected her singing skills and is eager and ready to show her fans just exactly what she has been up to. Armed with her amazing voice and a hunger to share her experiences with the world, Tonya Mitchell is the next "Queen of Pop."
