  JJ Heller Bio:

  If you ask JJ Heller to describe 2010 in a few words, her reply would be, “A year of blessing and change.” JJ’s career has grown steadily since she began playing music full-time with her husband, Dave, in 2003. But in 2010 the impact of JJ’s music blossomed like never before.

  The year began with JJ’s song “Your Hands” spinning on nearly 60 reporting Christian adult contemporary FM stations, including K-LOVE, the largest Christian radio network in the US. In the span of a few short months, JJ’s music was no longer reaching several thousand, but several million listeners.

  "Your Hands" made itself at home on Billboard Magazine’s Christian Songs’ chart for 24 weeks, and peaked at #13. In the following months, JJ saw her music placed on the ABC family show “Make It Or Break It,” and CW’s “One Tree Hill.”

  In August of 2010, JJ’s second radio single, “What Love Really Means,” began to find its way into the hearts of a new audience. Radio stations started receiving calls and e-mail messages from listeners who were brought to tears as they heard the song. The warm reception helped “What Love Really Means” surpass the success of “Your Hands” on the Billboard Christian Songs chart. Eventually, over 60 reporting stations added the single to their rotation.

  Audrey Assad

  Individualistic. A free spirit. Untraditional. In junior high those labels are a death sentence. In adulthood, they usually describe people the rest of us wish we could be – creative, intriguing people like Audrey Assad. Truly one-of-a-kind, this intensely honest singer-songwriter is carving out her own unique path in the music industry and opening hearts to God along the way.

  Audrey stood out even when everyone else was trying desperately to blend in. “Middle school was horrendous for me because I loved to study, loved school and loved band,” she recalls, adding, “and kids don’t let you get away with that at all.” It didn’t help that one of the instruments she played was the xylophone.

  Then, following high school graduation, Audrey left the suburbs outside New York City and relocated with her parents to Florida. There, amid the sun and sand that lures so many young adults into a life of nightclubs and partying, the longtime Christian took her spiritual life to the next level.
