A daughter of the Bulgarian folk singer Toni Toneff, she was born in Oslo and grew up in Lambertseter and Kolbotn.

She studied at Oslo Musikkonservatorium from 1971 to 1975. From 1975 to 1980 were, among others, Arild Andersen and Jon Eberson members of Radka Toneff Quintet.[4] From 1979 she cooperated with Steve Dobrogosz. In 1980 she participated in the Norwegian finale of the Eurovision Song Contest with the song Parken by Ole Paus.

She received the Spellemannsprisen 1977 in the category best vocal for the record Winter Poem, and she posthumously received Norwegian Jazz Association's Buddy Prize in 1982. The Radka Toneff Memorial Award is based on a fund created with royalties from the albums Fairytales and Live in Hamburg.

Radka Toneff lived together with Arild Andersen for a long time. However, she was having a relationship with another jazz musician Audun Kleive at the time of her death.

Toneff was biographed in 2008
