Tony began his music career in 1968 in the Bronx night clubs in NYC. He was featured in 16 magazines working as Tony Matti, The Joint Effort, Emmis, and the Lemon Tree Band. Playing in Las Vegas, Park Avenue, Cape Cod, and touring the US and Canada, Tony played with Barry Manilow, Tony Orlando, Tommy James, Dion DiMucci and many other artists. He has written music for United Artists and MCA Records.


In 1977 he left show biz for full time ministry as a Youth Pastor. His ministry career has been an amazing journey around the world with a message of the Fathers love for wounded children and families. As preaching became Tonyâs passion and focus his singing career stood in the background. While appearing on all the major Christian networks, Tony wrote a book entitled "Your Home is Not Broken" and also published articles in several contemporary magazines.


Tony returned to Rochester in 2004, purchased a home, reestablished connections, and took charge of his mission in transforming the corner of the Joy Community Church by âLighting the Nightâ. He transcended a commercial building on a corner from drugs, prostitution, and gun shots to a building lit up with lights and servicing the community with a medical clinic, food and clothing distribution, computer training, job skills development, ice cream parlor, outdoor café, coffee shop and a Youth room with video games, ping pong, Christian music and adult supervision.

In 2007 in the Urban Neighborhood of Bay and Goodman, Tony Martorana Pastor of Joy Community Church in Rochester NY was contacted by guitar player Paul Drago from his first band and their reunion resulted in Tonyâs newest CD release âIn the Rainâ. This powerful and blessed music duo brought forth yet another song, âI Found My Wayâ, depicting faith and hope in the streets.
