But Taunya Todd says it hasn’t always been this way, not like now. Undoubtedly, she’s always carried brightness within her, first through music. From her earliest years, Todd was drawn to the dream of singing on stage, wowing with her voice and stirring hearts as those she’d admired had hers. “I wanted to be Dolly Parton or Reba McEntire,” Todd says with a grin. It all came quite naturally, growing up in a family that enjoyed going out dancing together wherever there happened to be lively music and a thumping beat, along with her raw vocal talent.

The Threads of Taunya’s Testimony
“It is so much sweeter now that I walk with the Lord. It doesn’t mean it is easier, but sweeter. I’m not fearful anymore and I am not alone. That pressure of everything landing on me is gone.” Taunya replied when I asked her about her walk with the Lord. It was the last question I asked as our conversation lead to know that peace.

One Fine Day is an Acoustic driven band of female vocals
There is always a chord or a lyric that catches your attention, which leads you in search for the artist. As a writer, I quickly fall for lyrics, like a girl with a crush. But there is something else that not only catches my attention, but stops me dead in my tracks, and that is SOUL. When you hear a song or watch a performance where that soul has taken over the stage, it just speaks to you in such a way that I don’t even think I can explain it in words. I have heard One Fine Day live and they quickly brought me to my feet. They have it! They have written some amazing lyrics. When they strum their strings and sing, the soul and heart and everything in them comes pouring out in their music.
