@iWurk I have a program called Vocal Lab for Mac and it labels the notes according to pitch and key. I played that note and it was a C#6. For a MAN to hit that note in his mix is asinine. Check Rochelle Farrell's D7. That coming from a man would barely have sound. Matter of fact, search "Durand Bernarr Vocal Range" and listen to that C#6. It's the same note as that "D7". It's not as high as you think. Maybe you're going by the keyboard's D7 and not the vocal D7. I made that mistake before.
& yeah, I think that was a D6. He mixes really well too, most males who mix are extremely heady to the point, you can barely tell their belting or have chest mixed with it, or it comes out sounding really heady, but he sounds great mixing. His giving me all iNEED!
HE BETTA SANG! He's Amazing! I mean all his range is on point, normally people only have select parts of their range that are great, & the rest is weak or wishy washy, but he slayed throughout all his range!
@TheHighscale I can tell the difference. Yvette's vibrato's slightly slower than his, and her voice has more of a full sound, Ton3x's voice is more thin and nasally. They both can sang though
@okebaram Actually I'm not. It is nearly impossible for a male to belt anything above C5 in full voice. He just mixes his voice so well that it appears to be his full voice. His vocal range is a wide for a male, but its not THAT wide to able to belt A5 in full voice. He's not Patti.
I enjoyed this I really did but I'm pretty sure Tonex has/had some higher notes than mentioned here. There's an acoustic piano track he did (it was only available online I believe), the name escapes me, where he really soars into his head voice. I'm used to him having a mindblowing range but on that song he puts some bona fide sopranos to shame!
@iWurk Yeah I know it's an A5, that's why I am still trying to find his C6s. It's still a very impressive A5, and mind you I am very much into voice analysis. You are wrong about his technique. Those notes were not "reinforced falsetto", that is in full voice. The CORRECT reason he is able to do that is a combination of his naturally WIDE vocal range and his skill.
@lFrenzied Yea. She passed away in December. He kinda shut down; deleting all his music from UA-cam, Myspace, Twitter, he took down his main site and etc. We haven't heard from his since.
@okebaram In that video you posted, that was an A5. He's able to belt those notes because he uses a technique called reinforced falsetto. That's why it has that piercing sound. But I do know he has hit notes in the sixth octave in his song 'Enough' and on his latest mixtape Dawn O Unicorn, on a song called 'Secret Admirer'
thanks for the correction.. cause i was like ... I'm sure thats yvette,,,, lol.. granted her and tonex's ranges are pretty much comparable to one another's... hers is just as low if not lower and his is just as high if not higher
@okebaram I study Vocal Arts at UT and its not possible. Belting is done for males either in your chest or mixed register. High tone belting for males or females almost every time is related to falsetto/head voice. You have to look at how the sound is produced, not what it sounds like. And PLEASE post a video of you doing so.
@Fangir120 Actually most of these notes are from his live album, Out The Box. And he has gone as low as a D2.. You can hear his vocal range for his alter ego B. Slade in the video responses for this video :)
Okay so this is awesome but let me clarify because I am a close friend of Tonex/B Slade It is not tony singing at the end of seasons it is his wife we give the song over two around the vamps/Bridgeberry of that song second off no he is not a natural voice and a lot of those songs he has a very wide range but is talented within his transitional voice from Head tones to high chest voices. Not to mention the cover up of errors at times with the squalls LOL.
Are you sure you are a friend? You sound like you pointing out his flaws. I agree he mixes the hell out of his voice but he does make it sound fairly realistic and effortless.
He seems to have developed a well connected voice as you've pointed out. Has he told you where his chest voice officially ends? I'd be really interested in knowing that and you could ask him since you're friends. Also he seems to have developed a very strong mixed voice.
@getmeacheezecakeplz That was not belted lol. She screamed it. And I played that note on my piano, plus matched it up with Mariah's D7 and they were synonymous. But I got the pics from Google lol
Anyone, I would love links or keywords to get to Tonex' full voice C6s. I've heard them before on some songs of his and cannot remember which ones. Now that is range: him and Nicola Sedda. Thanks iWurk for putting the song titles... i will start with finding that one
@iWurk Buddy, I am a baritone... a low baritone with not-the-best voice, and I can belt a G#5 in chest voice on a really good day. On an average day, I can belt an F5. I also happen to know with distinctive clarity, even when others cannot, whether a note I hear is in full voice or not, and you may not believe it but you are definitely wrong.
@alcoholharmony That wasn't his mix. That was a whistle... But I just played it against Rachelle Farrell and they are still synonymous! lmaoo But I'll look into it.
@Danerage That's NOT full voice. Full voice = loudest, most resonate and maximum capacity of the human voice; which is almost ALWAYS in their chest or mixed registers for males. I'm not familiar with Chris but I'm positive he wasn't belting above a C5 in full voice.
To reference what I say if you would follow a lot of his videos and his performances you would see that he runs a track behind himself very often to safeguard his voice because he Goes hoarse naturally just like any other human being
@getmeacheezecakeplz lol some can get to a D7 in full voice - SOME, but that was definitely a belted D6, amazing soprano! What is this Yvette's last name? Are they still married.
@LifeisMusic07 It's a D7. I played it on my keyboard numerous of times lol I even went to Mariah's D7 and they were pitch perfect together. Plus, it's too high to be a D6 when compared to his C6. But yasss! He is the master of mixing. Especially when he belting. And his voice is so versatile and controlled!
@iWurk studying vocal arts and even if you have all the degrees does not make you right. But we'll agree to disagree. My voice is not fantastic enough for me to post a video of me singing... but maybe one day.
@kmaur21 can you give me the link to that video and any other ones you know of where he gets that high? And check out his range on this recent video: watch?v=3TJLQPtPAs8
That "D7" was a C#6.
I am a male soprano myself, and Tonex gave me confidence that a male singer with a soprano range is a Blessing and not a Curse!
Range isn't only a determinant of Vocal FACH. Some baritones can hit Soprano pitches.
Me too!
He's like Tevin Campbell on steroids.
There is a natural feminity in his voice that adds balance and dynamics.
@iWurk I have a program called Vocal Lab for Mac and it labels the notes according to pitch and key.

Your voice is soooo intoxicating!!!!
HE BETTA SANG! He's Amazing! I mean all his range is on point, normally people only have select parts of their range that are great, & the rest is weak or wishy washy, but he slayed throughout all his range!
2:05 took me through the the roof with that Chaka Khan belt.
I hear alot of Chaka, Tevin Campbell and Karen Clark in him.
@TheHighscale I can tell the difference. Yvette's vibrato's slightly slower than his, and her voice has more of a full sound, Ton3x's voice is more thin and nasally. They both can sang though
awesome vid. Only one problem, that wasn't Ton3x hitting that not in Seasons. That was his ex-wife Yvette Williams
that was not a d7...it was propably a d6..but not d7..
wow he's an amazing singer..i had never heard about him before.
@okebaram Actually I'm not. It is nearly impossible for a male to belt anything above C5 in full voice. He just mixes his voice so well that it appears to be his full voice. His vocal range is a wide for a male, but its not THAT wide to able to belt A5 in full voice. He's not Patti.
No, males csn be chesty up to g5, maybe beyond
That "Gb2" should be "F#2" and that A#5 should be "Bb5".
Dang he messed all the way up
good job on this video. Tonex = beast
i model my voice after him.....even though my range is 5octaves i still look up to him idc wat people think of him he is a beast and my idol
I enjoyed this I really did but I'm pretty sure Tonex has/had some higher notes than mentioned here. There's an acoustic piano track he did (it was only available online I believe), the name escapes me, where he really soars into his head voice.

His voice is EVERYTHING!!!
@lFrenzied Yea. She passed away in December. He kinda shut down; deleting all his music from UA-cam, Myspace, Twitter, he took down his main site and etc. We haven't heard from his since.
@iWurk Yep, I posted a comment earlier saying the same thing. That is Yvette Williams, his ex-wife.
C#6 Full voice. Wow.....I can't belt that high.
SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
Hey, Tonex is my FAVORITE singer of all time.....
I Love this man!
@okebaram In that video you posted, that was an A5. He's able to belt those notes because he uses a technique called reinforced falsetto. That's why it has that piercing sound. But I do know he has hit notes in the sixth octave in his song 'Enough' and on his latest mixtape Dawn O Unicorn, on a song called 'Secret Admirer'
This dude can Sang!!!
That D7 is a D6. It’s imposible to belt up to the 7th octave
thanks for the correction.. cause i was like ... I'm sure thats yvette,,,, lol.. granted her and tonex's ranges are pretty much comparable to one another's... hers is just as low if not lower and his is just as high if not higher
he is a BEASTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
@deeler3000 The very last song? Its called Feels Like Rain by Men of Standard ft. J. Moss
@okebaram I study Vocal Arts at UT and its not possible. Belting is done for males either in your chest or mixed register.

Are you sure you are a friend? You sound like you pointing out his flaws.
I agree he mixes the hell out of his voice but he does make it sound fairly realistic and effortless.
You ain’t his damn friend throwing all that shade. He does all this stuff live so any flaw you pointing out is null and void.
He seems to have developed a well connected voice as you've pointed out. Has he told you where his chest voice officially ends? I'd be really interested in knowing that and you could ask him since you're friends. Also he seems to have developed a very strong mixed voice.
@getmeacheezecakeplz That was not belted lol. She screamed it. And I played that note on my piano, plus matched it up with Mariah's D7 and they were synonymous. But I got the pics from Google lol
He ought to do a project with Chaka Kahn. I think , with the right material , they could make wonderful music together.
Nice done!
@MrDwhite2252 'Why? (Live)' from The Out The Box album.
@iWurk no that is not whislte. I think the person of this video ment to say D6 and not seven.
Here in 2023 🤟🏾
@alcoholharmony It can't be. I played it on my piano numerous of times and its a D7. I even compared it to Mariah's D7 and they are synonymous.
@WhistleKing237 Incorrect. It wasn't him singing. And whether its a D6 or D7 is irrelevant because its his ex-wife.
@89Kele Why? (Live) from his Out of The Box album.
@TheHighscale His wife was the only one singing during that part of the song
that D7 was him i saw him do it when he performed seasons life @ a gospel fest in stockton ca
2:51 D7 was Crucial!!
that wasn’t a D7
@chicanery10 Thank you for your comment.... But we established that last year -__-
@iWurk Omds, his Mams has passed too? OH glory. Whats goin on with him now? :(
Anyone, I would love links or keywords to get to Tonex' full voice C6s. I've heard them before on some songs of his and cannot remember which ones. Now that is range: him and Nicola Sedda. Thanks iWurk for putting the song titles... i will start with finding that one
@iWurk tkx letting me know bout the Brian Slade album... It's kinda a lil funky but i also like the Protransolutionary album. so again tkx, chow
@iWurk Buddy, I am a baritone... a low baritone with not-the-best voice, and I can belt a G#5 in chest voice on a really good day. On an average day, I can belt an F5. I also happen to know with distinctive clarity, even when others cannot, whether a note I hear is in full voice or not, and you may not believe it but you are definitely wrong.
@89Kele He uses the same technique. Although his' are more screams than belts.
@alcoholharmony That wasn't his mix. That was a whistle... But I just played it against Rachelle Farrell and they are still synonymous! lmaoo But I'll look into it.
@TheJaredThingy That's Men of Standard - Feels Like Rain ft. J. Moss
You Can't be better Thats the Limit !!!!
@kmaur21 It wasn't. If you listen to 'Seasons' where that part was hit, only his wife was singing.
@TheHighscale Me either lol that's why I put it in the video... Because it sounds like a run he would do. Then I had to go back and listen to it
The last high note is a D6... not D7...
@Danerage That's NOT full voice. Full voice = loudest, most resonate and maximum capacity of the human voice; which is almost ALWAYS in their chest or mixed registers for males.
I'm not familiar with Chris but I'm positive he wasn't belting above a C5 in full voice.
@iWurk omdays! That is crazy. :( I cant imagine what hes goin through right now..
o cara merece respeito sou fã quero um dia ficar assim muito bom mesmo....
TONEX IS ABSOLUTLEY CRAZY
To reference what I say if you would follow a lot of his videos and his performances you would see that he runs a track behind himself very often to safeguard his voice because he Goes hoarse naturally just like any other human being
2:42-2:51
Can you upload these PLEASE PLEASE?
Wow, crazy !
@getmeacheezecakeplz lol some can get to a D7 in full voice - SOME, but that was definitely a belted D6, amazing soprano! What is this Yvette's last name? Are they still married.
@LifeisMusic07 It's a D7. I played it on my keyboard numerous of times lol I even went to Mariah's D7 and they were pitch perfect together. Plus, it's too high to be a D6 when compared to his C6.
But yasss! He is the master of mixing. Especially when he belting. And his voice is so versatile and controlled!
@Magnuomoliticus Its at the top of the screen :\ But its Why? (Live)
@getmeacheezecakeplz Yea I discovered that was his ex wife. But that's still a D7.
@DemitriPetPet Men of Standard ft. J.Moss - Feels Like Rain
he's not nasty BUT NASTEE honey i got my life
The run from :37-:41......OMG!!! just ridiculous lol
yes, pleasee. :)
@zingalom @r1ck3y I guess I wasn't paying attention to the song... But I'll make the note of it. Thankx
@abcsweet Proof? That's clearly a whistle.
@iWurk studying vocal arts and even if you have all the degrees does not make you right. But we'll agree to disagree. My voice is not fantastic enough for me to post a video of me singing... but maybe one day.
What song was that vocal run in the beginning from?
Does anyone know the name of the song @ 3:00?
What about ADAM LAMBERT???????
Yvette williams
Someone had to😂😂
@chicanery10 I was just saying. No need to write paragraphs.
@kmaur21 can you give me the link to that video and any other ones you know of where he gets that high?
And check out his range on this recent video: watch?v=3TJLQPtPAs8
@okebaram And just because you THINK you know what something is doesn't make you right either.
Where does that intro come from?
tenor ?
Mário Fernandes Yes but to be more accurate he is actually a Leggiero Tenor
what's the name of the song at @2:00??
Can he support all that range?
I think he is a sopranist ( word for a male soprano )
No just a lyric tenor
wuz da song at da beggining
2:10-2:57...smh. I idnt know that was possible!
I have looked to TONEX FOR FOREVER !!!!! I DONT even know who B. Slade is and i refuse to know who he is !!! It will always be tonex or no one!!
@iWurk hmm, ok, lol
can i have the name of his ex wife
he has an ex-wife?
0:00 to 0:14 .... enough said
Definitely not a D7 lmaoo
He looks better as a man....more then he does as B-Slade.
Lol...still got nun on Karen Clark Sheard (as far as high notes).
@classyk100 Thumbs down lol sexy praise G-D ur silly
@iWurk Omds, his Mams has passed too? OH glory. Whats goin on with him now? :(
