Angela is a gifted Bible teacher and songwriter. She decided to record For You've Touched Me along with another worship song she wrote called Hold Me. Both songs have been crafted lyrically and musically as one being meditative and melodic in mood. Angela believes that the melodies in these songs carry the messages like "inspired contemporary psalms".
Angela chose Joanna Melas as the vocalist because she believes that Joanna sings from the heart in an unpretentious and honest manner and her endearing beautiful voice immerses the listener in the music. Joanna has a special gift to lead people into an intimate encounter with the Spirit as they are invited to enter and are caught up in the anointing of these songs.
Joanna is a very talented singer/songwriter, musician and producer. She has recorded a 10-track album called A Natural Selection which features 3 of her original songs Danca da Shuva, We Had No Cares, Such As These. Joanna has performed in the USA, New Zealand and Australia and was music director/worship leader of a prominent city church in Sydney. She performs regularly as a solo artist and fronting a band to packed houses in many venues around Sydney and is in continual demand. www.joannamelas.com email: info@joannamelas.com
