Lisa M Saunders

 



Lisa grew up in an impoverished family,  singing and harmonizing with her mother 

Saundra Battista Alimonti, and her sisters Denice Webb, and Lori Pennington.  
Lisa has continued to sing despite being diagnosed with asthma and choosing not to be on inhalers.  Lisa's husband Leal also grew up in an impoverished home and taught himself to play guitar. 

He is a Highly Decorated Vietnam Veteran. Still, Small Voice Remix is easy Christian listening for the soul, inspired after Leal lost his 24-year-old son Eric Saunders to diabetes a few years ago. 1 Kings 19:11-12 "And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: and after the wind an earthquake; but the Lord was notin the earthquake: And after the earthquake a fire; but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire a still small voice."

We need to listen to His Still Small Voice.

Kika Morelan



My name is Kika and I was born in Tampere, Finland. Music has always been close to my heart. I remember playing guitar and writing songs when I was in my teens. I have sung all my life as it brings me great joy. I recorded 4 albums before 2019, some of which can be found on reverbnation.com/kikamorelan.

 Two of them will be remastered and re-released at a later time. In 2019 I released my fifth album which was a double-Christmas album called "The Magic of Christmas" featuring major Nashville session players. 

This year (2021) we have just finished my latest album called "Feeling Good!"  The album will be available by mid-December. I cannot wait to share it with you all!

Feel free to contact me with any questions or additional files that you may need for radio airplay and thanks so much for your support!

Kika Morelan Releases The Magic Of Christmas featuring Nashville Pro musicians

Kika Morelan is a vocalist and executive producer of music projects and videos based in Eastern Washington State.  Her newest project, "The Magic of Christmas," is a double Christmas album released in 2020, featuring an array of Christmas and inspirational favorites.

Originally from Finland and now located in the Pacific Northwest, this attractive Scandinavian with a sweet accent, has a beautiful voice and a knack for assembling projects that are both diverse and cohesive.

For her latest album, she teamed up with former Nashville producer Michael Lewis, who returned to the Pacific Northwest and operates a recording studio called “The Song Mill” near Couer d’Alene, Idaho. 

While the songs are initiated and finished at the Idaho studio, Michael takes advantage of his Nashville connections and enlists the talents of arrangers, session musicians and a gospel choir (on O Holy Night) from The Music City, via the internet.

“Many of the parts are recorded by professional session players at studios in Nashville and then sent back here.   And while they’re doing parts in Tennessee, we’re working on instrumental and/or vocal parts here in our studio as well.

Kika has a new music video that accompanies the Christmas project.  It is her cover of Amy Grant’s "Breath of Heaven" and can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8GSgwEWNj4

Morelan and crew are already working on a14 song follow-up project.  Two music

Cliff Weideman - Group of Divine


 


Over the past five years, Cliff Weideman has been working with talent lyricist Venessa Adams on his gospel project, Group of Divine. Together they’ve composed over 100 songs, and nine albums.

The debut album was released in August 2019 called "I Found You". The second album is planned for release after Easter, May 2020, called "With a Touch".

The albums are gospel records through and through. Each of the twelve tracks brings a new layer of who Cliff Weideman is an artist and how he is able to manifest his faith in song. “Your Crown of Thorns” invites listeners in from the press of play. Thus allowing “Tell Me,” “Melt Into You,” and “I Belong” to take care of the rest of the listener’s stay.

Cliff said of his faith and music, “God inspired us with messages in every song,” adding, “The songs are also about our journey.”




I am a South African Singer Songwriter of Gospel Music, Music Producer. Leader and lead singer for the Gospel music group, "Group of Divine". I am a Civil Engineer and some of my projects have won awards. I am also a Book Publisher, and published the book "Pass The Ball!". I am a Believer, a Christian.
