She also runs an organization called "The Living Society", which focuses on teaching underprivileged people the basic fundamentals of music and the positivity it can bring in your life. She is currently working on her debut album which is set for release later this fall. As Tonye was growing up, she visited developing countries in Africa and saw how children were suffering from illnesses and lack of basic needs. After that experience she Her mother runs a rape shelter in South Africa, which also played a role in evoking her need to help people. Working with Save the Children’s has always been a passion of the artist. She wrote the song “Make it Happen” after reading that “this year almost nine million children around the world could die from basic illnesses before their fifth birthday.” Being a mother of a 5 year old daughter, Tonye values all children and believes in the cause and making a difference. Every child is born with the right to live, but not an equal chance ("Every One" slogan). The goal behind the video is to create change and build an equal chance for the future of all children alike.

Growing up in a land witnessing conflict, wars and tragedies, Wael was determined to make the world a better place.

There are few people on this planet lucky enough to feel COMPLETELY in tune with another human being. There are even fewer who get to know the joy of someone truly understanding your full potential. I am so blessed to have Wael as my manager, constantly striving to make sure that I operate at my maximum level of EPIC-NESS!
