Tonya started signing when she was six (6) years old. Her dad, who is a minister, would take her with him to local jails. He would let her sing before he preached. As soon as she opened her mouth, the inmates became quiet so that they could hear "the little girl with the amazing voice."
Her songs are real and passionate, and her voice is honest and strong. Tonya's sound will "reach out, move you, and touch your soul." She penned five (5) of the songs on her debut album, and with a blend of Soul, Urban Gospel, and Adult Contemporary, Tonya Ware is "The Voice."
