ARTIST OF THE DAY
Francesca Battistelli
While it might seem like Francesca Battistelli has been with us for a while - she's actually quite new to the Christian music scene. 2009 saw the release of her debut - and not only did My Paper Heart produce four major hits on the Christian charts—"I'm Letting Go," "Free To Be Me," "It's Your Life" and "Beautiful Beautiful"—but her music spread like wildfire on TV shows including ABC’s Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, NBC’s The Biggest Loser, FOX’s So You Think You Can Dance, TLC's Kate Plus 8, the Style Network and in promos for the movie Julie & Julia!
The last couple of years have been chaotic to say the least! A whirlwind of touring and promotion - plus she got married and had a baby! Not only is she the reigning female vocalist from last year's Dove awards - but she's garnered another 4 nominations this year. In March she released her sophomore project Hundred More Years - featuring this already hit on Joy - "This Is The Stuff!"
