Anointed Voice of Inspiration

“Tonia Hughes Kendrick’s voice carries the anointing of God. Her music has been a source of joy, strength, and consolation for me, resonating with a depth that touches the core of my being. Every note is a message of hope, reminding me of God’s love and faithfulness.”

About Tonia

If music provided a window to the soul, then Tonia Hughes Kendrick would allow you access to the deepest chambers of her heart. Whether a squalling gospel or a tender worship, her vocal command and passionate, transparent delivery leave audiences with a poignant electricity.

Notably among Minnesota’s most gifted artists, Tonia’s versatility as a performer and worship leader in both massive and small venues is nothing short of medicinal. The intense sorrow of becoming a widow in her 30s made her all too familiar with the need for a balm to heal wounded souls. Tonia simply has a way of connecting with her audience. Her Kingdom anointing and stirring testimony are evident through a heartfelt delivery that allows her to surpass racial, denominational, and
intergenerational barriers that often segregate.

Be it with a soothing subtlety or a boisterous bellow, Tonia’s voice has mesmerized audiences, opening for gospel industry powerhouses such as Fred Hammond and Dorinda Clark-Cole, and capturing the attention of prominent producers, leading her to record background vocals on a song for the “Queen of Hip Hop Soul” Mary J. Blige. Her dulcet tones eventually took her to the national stage of the renowned Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts in New York.
