Who Is Toni LaShaun Wortherly?
Toni Wortherly is a songwriter, author and educator from Jacksonville, Florida. She has been singing and acting since she was a teenager and writing for almost twenty years. Her childhood goal was to practice law and she did that for awhile, yet felt drawn to do something different. In 2005, she wrote a book called, Pray While You're Prey, and then, became a teacher in 2006, following her heart’s calling at the time.
Her favorite singers are her dad, Ray Wortherly, and Tramaine Hawkins. She has been influenced by all styles of music, as it is a universal language. Currently, Toni serves as the praise team leader at New Friendship Missionary Baptist Church in Atlantic Beach, Florida, which allows her to use her music, as well as, music from all genres and generations to inspire the congregation each Sunday.
Toni has placed in the Top 5 of the SongwriterUniverse Song of the Month competition with her song, In The Shadow Of Your Wings. She also had two top ten finalist entries, Don’t You Worry and Worth Dying For in a SongU.com competition, which landed her a song plugging contract with Cole Wright. Don’t You Worry was also a semi-finalist in the Song of the Year contest. Toni’s song, My Victory Is In My Praise, was considered for placement on a praise compilation CD. In 2016, Toni had her first cut with her song, Black Sheep (co-written by Brian White and Dave Quick) and her first single song agreement with Daywind Records for her song Hand It Over (co-written by Keesy Timmer and Cindy Mechem). In 2018, Toni's song, In The Hallway, placed in the top 6 of the CCM Category of the Worship The Rock Songwriting Contest.
Toni continues to build on her craftsmanship by attending Global Songwriters Connections FOCUS events in Nashville, building relationships with publisher, pro writers and peer writers. The most important relationship in Toni's life is her relationship with Jesus Christ. Through her original music, Toni finally feels like she is living in the fullness of that relationship and is on the path that God has for her. She hopes to continue to spread the gospel and message of God’s love through her music.
