*New York, NY – Tonya Lewis Taylor (TLT), makes her debut as a Top 20 artist on the Billboard Gospel Chart with her hit single “Thank You,” an upbeat head bobbin feel good contemporary track with a retro feel reminiscence of the Walter Hawkins classic of the same name.
“Thank You” is the lead single off of her debut album “Delayed But Not Denied” (available on ITUNES) which features 10 tracks of TLT’s soulful praise and worship style of music all of which she wrote and co-produced. It features a mixture of tear jerking ballads and foot stomping, jump outta your seat songs. The album offers something for everyone.
“Delayed But Not Denied” was recorded live in NYC’s famed MSR Studio, and according to Tonya, this album is the story of her life.
“I wanted to record this album 20 years ago, but family, work, fear, doubt and my insecurities delayed my musical journey.”
The overarching testimony of the album speaks to a dream deferred but not forgotten, Tonya is an example that it’s never too late to rise up to touch one’s destiny.
