From Tragedy To Peace and Triumph
The versatile gospel singer/songwriter, nutrition guru, on how family life and Church taught her to sing, and how tragedy propelled her into the recording business.
Her Nina Simone inspired voice, and fluid singing styles have captured the heart, if not yet the pocket books of churchgoers, and those who just want to be blessed – everywhere. Reggae inflected cuts such as “Peace Within Me” and "Thank You Father" from her first album, and "How Great Thou Art”, have become her signature. “My ultimate joy is singing to people, and being in the studio creating songs” says this female classically trained Jamaican pop and reggae gospel artist.
Her soaring voice and golden timbre lends itself to the pop ballads, classical and soft reggae gospel songs that she writes, records and performs.

Artist: Faith In Action Song: Promises CD: Live Genre: gospel Label:Independent Homepage
Faith in Action Live, our ten-year celebration CD, is here!
February 1: Faith in Action Live is nominated for 2007 CARA awards in Religious Album and Religious Song ("We Are") categories. Winners will be announced April 1 (no foolin').
Faith in Action is a higher-powered women's a cappella group, combining a taste of jazz with a big gospel sound. Founded in March of 1996, the ad hoc group sang the same song (Sweet Honey in the Rock's "We Are") over several months for church-related events, culminating in a performance at Madison Square Garden in August 1996 for church members from DC to Maine.
After Madison Square Garden, we decided maybe God had a plan for the group, and maybe it was time to learn more than one song. We chose a name, added another member, and learned some original tunes. Since then, FIA has performed with the Boston a cappella community (at a cappella showcases, clubs, and East Coast A Cappella Summits), in gospel concerts, for a variety of benefit events, and on WGBH-TV with Bobby McFerrin. FIA placed third at the Boston Regional Harmony Sweepstakes in 1999.
2006 marks ten years together, and we’ve regrouped with some former members to produce a long talked-about CD. We're excited about the result, and hope you will be, too!
