I'd like to introduce & Welcome Tonya Watts to the Tribe. I came across Tonya through Myspace and knew she was a perfect fit for The Tribe! Her Outlaw Country Rock N Roll is unique, original and in my opinion, so much better than the modern day Pop-Country assembly line that genre is flooded with these days. I lifted the first part of her bio below because she tells her story better than I could concerning her Journey to Music! So check it out. Check out the interview. Check out her tunes on myspace and Tonya, Welcome To The Tribe!

Well, I usually have someone else write my Bio's, but this time I am going to write my own version of the Tonya Watts Bio. I'm living in Nashville after a Ten Year Stay in Los Angeles. I got to see and experience alot of different things. I grew up in Glencoe, Alabama. It's a pretty small town and everything that I am today was born and created from Glencoe. My dad made me tuff and I was taught to never be afraid of anything or anybody. Oh and if someone gets in your face hit 'em. I guess I learned that at a pretty young age. I think things are different now.

Alabama girl in LA~ I was so young and the Hollywood Sign was a paradise I never thought I'd see in person. Here I am. It didn't take me long to figure out that LA is what you make it. If you find someone you can trust or that u connect with hold on to them. I saw a lot of young kids over the years come there and end up on the street. I actually remember putting one kid on a Greyhound bus and paying his ticket to get him home to his family. These kids come out there thinking there going to be stars over night and before you know it they are strung out and living on the street or close to it. Its sad!

So anyway, I got to do some cool stuff... I did some photo Doubling for Pam Anderson on the movie Barbwire, and only a little on Baywatch. I did some extra work on Baywatch. My friend was a regular extra and I would work with her and we would get paid to lay out at the beach all day oh and eat really good too. Those were the days! It was when I got to play Dolly Parton in the Barbra Mandrell story that I decided to focus on music forever no matter what. Good-bye Movie Star...hello country singer, rock star, poet Tonya Watts. Really just hello to the REAL ME.

Primal Email Interview with Tonya Watts

 

 

SplatterTribe: Introduce yourself and compare yourself to something you might run into in the woods on a dark night.

 

Tonya Watts:  My name is Tonya Watts and you could compare me to a uhhhhhh shit I suck at this already..

 

 

 

SplatterTribe: For anyone who has no idea who you are, how would you describe your music and show?

 

T. Watts:  My music is raw, edgy, and pretty much true stories from my life. I only write what I know and you always know that I mean what i am saying and it's my truth. Some songs are country, some are rock, and some are a little punk. I don't believe in picking a genre to be an artist in.. I was tortured for alot of years trying to figure out where I fit in. I don't like the country pop sound and I have even been told they are not looking for country accents in country anymore. Which is something I strongly miss. Rocknroll is really not that big anymore either.. so I just do the music I like.. which is outlaw country and rocknroll. My live show is entertaining I think. I can be a real freak.. depends on the venue and crowd really. Some folks can't handle my crazy bitchness... so sometimes I behave...

 

 

 

SplatterTribe: How would you define each of the following words?


T. Watts:  

Music : music is power that can bring on every emotion there is and yes I could keep on going..
Entertainment: entertainment is ?

(Tribe Note: Oh, Yeah, Tonya told me to write Entertainment is www.splattertribe.tv ! Well, not really, but I have a feeling that is what she would have said!)
Art: Art is all around us. I think everything is art. Art is something we must never stop fighting for..
Life: Life is a very short learning experience full of music, art, entertainment.. and love!

 

 


SplatterTribe: Is Rascal Flatts really Country? I mean really?

 

T. Watts:   I feel like you are trapping me on this one.. no they are not country..

 

 


SplatterTribe: What comes to mind when I name the following people?


T. Watts:  

Waylon Jennings: legend, Shooter's dad
David Allen Coe: legend and my favorite songwriter artist
Johnny Cash: My country music hero who had the balls to stand up for what he believed in
Nikki Sixx: I love me some Crue... forever and always
Steven Adler: I love this man and I wanna kick his mom's ass.
Jessica Simpson: She is my soul sister, she just don't know it yet.. Chicken of the sea confused me once too. I can relate to her ha! I thought it was chicken once too.. I still don't know why they call it chicken of the sea.. I hate chicken.. yuk!

 

(Tribe Note: Save The Sea Chickens!)

(Tribe Note:  "I will Splatter you with my high heel..."! That has got to be the takin' out of context Quote of the month here at splattertribe.tv)

 

 

 

SplatterTribe: What's 3 things that annoy you?

 

T. Watts:  Liars, cheaters and judgmental people
 

(Tribe Note: Rascal Flatts! Well, I mean they annoy me. I meant to put that in my top 3 on the splattertribe forum! Hmmm, better go do that!)

 

 

 

SplatterTribe: When I interviewed Angelica Wandering Angel I asked her to give me a question for the next person I interviewed. You are the next person and the question was to give a home recipe. You have one to give us?

 

T. Watts:  Tomato Soup.. Just tomato sauce, vodka and sour cream... easy as that.. great soup!

 

(Tribe Note: I've actually had that recipe before except the one I had didn't have the sour cream. Well, actually it didn't have the tomato sauce either. The rest of the recipe was the same though.)
 

 


SplatterTribe: Do you have a question I can ask the next person I interview?

 

T. Watts:  How do you feel about all of the vets on the street?
 

 


SplatterTribe: I don't know if I asked this yet, but is Rascal Flatts really Country?
 

T. Watts:  I really have never listened to any of their music and when it comes on I turn it.. so guess I don't know.. from what I know it sounds like POP music.. :)

 

(Tribe Note: Yeah, they do sound like POOP!  Good Answer Tonya!)

 

 

 

SplatterTribe: What would you do if you were standing in line somewhere and the guy in front of you unknowingly dropped
 

T. Watts:

a) a one million dollar bill : I would tell him if he were still there
b) a Tonya Watts picture with a bunch of red hearts all over it :  I would think it's cool
c) a Tonya Watts picture that had I HATE TONYA WATTS scribbled on it :  I would laugh
d) Keys that appeared to be yours : I would follow him and ask him where he got them
e) a baggie with a parsley style substance in it : I'd know right away if I should roll it up or not..

 

 


SplatterTribe: Songwriting time. I wrote 2 lines 2 a verse and then when I interviewed A Promoter that goes by the name of Evil, she wrote 2 more lines, what I need for you is to write 2 more
 

Me: As the storm started raging
I knew things would change
 

Evil: As I looked in his eyes and whispered my name
I knew things would change
 

T. Watts:  we kissed we danced we screamed

he showed me what sex means
 

 


SplatterTribe: Anything you would like to ask me?

 

T. Watts:  Did you hear of me on MySpace? ha!


(Tribe Note: Actually that is how I heard of you.  The wonderful world of MySpace!)
