Medium Skilled =    Highly Skilled =    Professional =

Hi! I am Tonya Plefka from East Hartford CT. I am a professional singer 1st Soprano and Descant, professional model, dancer, & actress. I have been born with an amazing gift to sing and for music in general. I am incredibly grateful for my talents. Since the age of 8 I have known that it is my destiny to perform as a professional singer and musician. More recently within the last 10 years I have also realized my destiny to act as well. I am classically trained in music and I sing almost every genre including: 80s glam rock,
classical, opera, pop, ballads, Broadway, punk rock, classic rock, heavy metal, jazz, blues, hip hop, Gospel etc. I am looking to form an 80s rock band as soon as possible. I currently sing the Star Spangled Banner at sporting events etc. I am also for hire for: weddings, funerals, events, chorale solos, choir solos etc. I am an incredibly talented singer who is unsurpassable with the range of Mariah Carey and who loves to sing Pink's songs in my own style. I am a model with commercial, print, spokesmodel, runway, and erotic modeling experience. I have an acting, instrumental music, and cheerleading background as well! I sing in English, Italian, Spanish, German, Polish, Latin and Vietnamese.
