Leah Martensen's Blurbs

Bio:

Christian Recording Artist/World Vision Associate Artist

Realizing that God is not in the business of calling only the equipped but equipping those he calls, Leah is the first to state that she is not a typical musician. "I'm not looking for fame and stardom, nor am I what 'stardom' is looking for", she says. "I have a simple message and I tell my story: God is using me in spite of what I'm not. I've traveled the world telling this story."

As she prepares to release her fourth album, Leah is shifting gears, leaning towards an acoustic style, a different sound to her last release, "What I'm Not", which was contemporary pop.

Aptly titled, "Still..." this new album shines its light on Leah's belief that God is still in charge, offering hope, grace and love at a time when many of us are feeling afraid and helpless.

"People all over the world are lost", says Leah. "God's love endures, however - we need to keep praying, keep hoping, dreaming and loving each other, following Christ's example."

Recorded at Paradiso Music in Nashville, TN, 'Still...' will feature songs that touch on real life issues, with emotional underscores, that Leah hopes her audience will relate to on a personal level. She wants to send out an album that gives listeners hope for the future and inspiration to become part of the change that will take us there.

"When I perform, I sing with positivity, not perfection," says Leah, who has re-worked a traditional hymn, 'Ten Thousand Angels' into a contemporary version for 'Still...'

"I hope my audience will appreciate the message of my new songs and like me, be the best they can be at what God has called them to do".

Since launching her musical career nearly sixteen years ago, Leah has released four albums with Joyful Sound Records, Where is the Love (2000), Give It To Him (2002), and What I'm Not (2005), which earned a top seven place with the single 'Shut up and Pray' on the IggyRock charts earlier this year.

In 2005, Leah co-formed a collective of female Christian artists called 'Christian D.I.V.A.S.' who feature regularly on TSR radio.

Leah's music has been featured on several Podcast programs, including, Build The Church, Mad Money Review, Delta Radio and Delta Podcast.

As Leah has developed her ministry, she has found freedom and opportunities for reaching others. "As a Christian artist, God and I get to call the shots. I have the freedom to go where God leads and I wouldn't want it any other way."

God has led Leah to interesting places. She has ministered at churches and conferences and performed at countless coffeehouses, fairs and festivals across the United States and around the world.

He also directed Leah to minister in South Africa and Asia. Leah joined World Vision as an artist associate in 2001.

"I have seen the devastation and hopelessness in the eyes of children in the squatter camps of South Africa. The only thing in abundance is disease and death. We can all be missionaries without leaving home by sponsoring a child, a family, or a community on the other side of the world through World Vision. That really gets me excited."

Leah has experienced the adventure of traveling with other musicians and continues to plan a busy tour schedule for 2007.

Leah and Marianne Kesler are touring together for the Road To Recovery Tour 2007. They will be traveling through the South with a 13-day schedule that will be packed with hope and encouragement. Check out the Road To Recovery website www.roadtorecoverytour.com

"I've been singing all my life and traveling for the last 16 years. I get to do this with my husband of 22 years and I love that we can grow together in this ministry. Its a privilege that God would allow us to join with pastors and churches, encouraging their ministries and bringing believers together".
