Tones and I, real name Toni Watson, performed her new single Charlie at the opening ceremony of the FIBA Women’s Basketball World Cup in Sydney last night.
Speaking to told The Daily Telegraph about the monumental performance, Watson said she’s passoinate about basketball and would love to own a team. “To co-own a team, absolutely, that would be incredible.”
“I have mainly put all of my money into properties and investing that way but I am kind of trying to have a look around and see what else I can do but it really has to align with a passion of mine otherwise I am not very interested.”
Watson revealed that she has always been a huge fan of basketball and that only stopped playing the sport in order to concentrate on her music career.
“Being young, I remember Primary School specifically, it was kind of my way to just figure out what my thing was, to feel like I belonged somewhere,” she said.
“For the most part it taught me discipline and taught me willpower and taught me resilience and strength. The only reason I ever stopped playing basketball was to become a busker.”
