WHO IS PATREKA WORTHAM:
Patreka Wortham is a North Carolina native who from her you recognized both her connection to and the impact felt by others through music. As Patreka’s personal relationship with the Lord deepened, so did her involvement in local ministry where she served in multiple capacities most notably under the leadership of Senior Pastor Shirley Caesar. It is while serving that she was presented the opportunity to lead the praise anthem “Praise Your Way Through” during the “After 40 Years, Still Sweeping Through the City” live recording in 2011 and then to co-arrange the inspiring selection “Survive This” on the CD “Fill This House” in 2016. In 2015, she independently recorded her first, self-titled super single.
In 2018, Patreka was excited to be one of three local artists selected for a mainstage solo performance during Radio One’s Women’s Empowerment Conference in Raleigh, North Carolina; a full-day event that attracted thousands of attendees and included Michael Strahan of ABC’s Good Morning America as keynote speaker. In the same year, she was grateful to also be selected as North Carolina’s winner and a National Finalist in Walmart’s Gospel contest featuring David and Tamela Mann which included a feature performance at the 2018 Essence Festival in New Orleans, Louisiana. During the 34th Annual Stellar Gospel Awards, Patreka was blessed to become the 2019 Stellar Awards Independent Artist Showcase Winner in Las Vegas, Nevada.
As grateful as she is to have had such unforgettable experiences, she is particularly appreciative to have been favored to share life with her loving husband and daughters who join her on occasion for ministry engagements. Patreka’s experiences has her prepped for big breakout year in 2021. She is currently available for speaking & singing engagements.
