Tonya is a much sought after psalmist who ministers the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ across the country. Under her own independent production company, she has released projects – “Life In Him” and “Since He Came In”.

A published author and writer of “Worship Beyond the Song – a Psalmist’s Perspective”, as well as a songwriter, Tonya has penned songs for such award winning artists B.Slade (formerly Tonex), Helen Baylor, Sherri Moffett-Jones and the incomparable, Kim Burrell.
