Tonia King began honing her culinary techniques as a little girl in Pennsylvania, helping her mother prepare dishes for a traditional (and hungry!) Italian family. Mama Nestico instilled a deep appreciation for proper ingredients and techniques in her young assistant. After graduation from Boston's Berklee College of Music, Tonia took advantage of the Hub's rich blend of ethnic cuisines and fresh food markets, experimenting with new dishes, and discovering an eclectic mix of international cooking. As time passed, it became a new tradition for Tonia to host dinners for an ever-growing (and ever-hungrier) circle of musicians, friends, family and colleagues.

Simultaneously, Tonia's broadcasting career began to blossom. After cutting her teeth in greater Boston, she moved on to become a Southern New England drive-time radio personality. Her on-air work was and is still heard in markets from Philadelphia to San Francisco. Today, along with Tonia's Kitchen, her internationally syndicated "Jazz Variations" program airs on an ever-widening network of stations. Food and Jazz go great together. 

Always wanting to learn more and educate her listeners, Tonia's enthusiasm for food as medicine and nutrition shines through in her latest radio show and Podcast- "Food Talk For Health". 

Tonia is continually expanding her gastronomic repertoire, and loves nothing more than discovering new dishes, techniques, ingredients and cookbooks. Her lifelong passion for food and love of broadcasting make for a perfect recipe, uniting perfectly in America's newest food-and-cooking format radio program, "Tonia's Kitchen".

Being a veteran Voice Talent, Tonia's voice can also be heard on commercials, documentaries, audio books and more around the world.
