The famous American-Czech singer Tonya Graves had never done any professional singing until she landed at the Prague airport in 1995 (that is an exaggeration). However, she quickly become the big thing of the Czech music scene. First she cooperated with the renowned guitarist Luboš Andršt in some blues projects, then she quickly turned to more modern turf of dance music as the vocalist of Liquid Harmony. In 2000, Graves boarded the soul express known as Monkey Business of which she has been one of the hallmarks until present.

Alongside with her main engagement she is an occasional guest in Smetáček's New Orchestra of Dreams big band or in Moimir Papalescu's retro-electronic-disco music project, The Stylist. Graves has been recently occupied by her first solo project. Although the album is not planned for release until this fall, Tonya Graves and her band have been giving gigs since one year ago when they had their concert premiere as support to Macy Gray's concert in Prague.
