A Spellbinding Duet for a Bewitching Night
This is not a costume party—it is a musical event designed for those who appreciate style, soul, and world-class artistry. For one night only, Toni Redd and Leonard Julien III unite their formidable talents to deliver a performance that is sophisticated, romantic, and utterly unforgettable. The chemistry between Redd’s powerful voice and Julien’s smooth delivery makes for a dynamic duet perfect for a memorable Halloween date night.
Toni Redd: The Powerhouse in the Key of Soul
Atlanta native Toni Redd has built an international career on a voice that critics compare to the legendary Phyllis Hyman. Her vocal style is a rich, intense infusion of R&B, contemporary smooth jazz, and classical soul. Redd’s discography, including albums like “N” the Key of Redd and Straight from the Heart, showcases her incredible range and songwriting talent.
Throughout her career, she has consistently shared billing with major artists, including:
- Najee
- Gerald Albright
- Angela Bofill
- The Rippingtons
When she performs live, Toni Redd delivers a high-intensity energy that has long captivated audiences at the Maui Music Festival and the Atlanta Jazz Festival—and which will be amplified tenfold in The Velvet Note’s intimate setting.
Leonard Julien III: The Voice That Defines Soul
Leonard Julien III is a “vocal extraordinaire” who commands the stage with a tremendous range, capable of shifting from the deep resonance of Barry White to the smooth sophistication of Peabo Bryson.
His credentials are exceptional, demonstrating his long-standing presence in the soul and R&B world:
- The Voice of David Ruffin: Leonard Julien was personally called upon by Otis Williams of The Temptations to sing the voiceover for David Ruffin in the iconic NBC miniseries, The Temptations.
- A Sideman to Stars: He has toured as a musician and vocalist with artists like Millie Jackson and Regina Belle, and he has even been featured as a saxophonist on tracks by the legendary hip-hop group Outkast (including “The Whole World”).
- Acclaimed Solo Work: His debut album, Reflections of Soul, triumphed at #1 on European charts for eight consecutive weeks, cementing his status as a true soul balladeer.
