CCM Magazine Highlights Christian D.I..V.A.s
CCM Magazine highlights Christian D.I.V.A.s as one of the top 100 myCCm.org profiles
(Nashville TN) January 9, 2008. Christian D.I.V.A.s, the premier Christian female recording artist organization ends 2007 noted in the Nov/Dec issue of CCM Magazine as one of the 100 myCCM profiles to visit. The Christian D.I.V.A.s are in good company with the likes of Bethany Dillion, Nicole Nordeman, Sara Groves and Krystal Meyers. “After wrapping our first year with some 10,000 members, we thought it would be a good time to assemble a list of 100 of the more notable profiles you should visit,” said Chris Well of myCCM.org in the article. MyCCM.org is a leading online social network for Christian musicians and their fans.
The relationship between Christian D.I.V.A.s and myCCM.org has been ongoing. “We joined myCCM.org fairly early on when they first got started,” said Leah Martensen, Christian D.I.V.A.s President. “They have been supportive of Christian D.I.V.A.s since the beginning and have encouraged us to post information about our organization on our blog. Many of the artists with Christian D.I.V.A.s receive additional exposure for their own ministries because of the presence we have on myCCM.org,” said Martensen. “Of all the social communities on the internet, myCCm.org has been the most attentive to our organization. We're glad to be a part of myCCM.org and look forward to what the future has in store for them,” she added.
Recently Christian D.I.V.A.s was signed by Pizzazz Media based in Orange County, California. Media President Jilleen Butler said, “Christian D.I.V.A.s is one of the most outstanding organizations for female Christian musicians in the industry today. They have a proven track record and are the most sincere, talented and diverse organization I've been privileged to represent.” Their name stands for devoted, inspired, victorious artists.
Christian D.I.V.A.s was founded in 2006 by two independent artists and has grown to feature 10 female musicians who perform globally. They are a one of a kind organization for Christian female musicians in the United States today. With artists as diverse as the support they give to one another, each of them embodies the compassion of reliable servants commissioned by God.
The growth of Christian D.I.V.A.s has been remarkable and hemmed in with prayer. “What is really neat to watch is how our artists are starting to come together and work alongside one another,” said Martensen who recently toured with one of her Christian D.I.V.A.s members. “We have a prayer time every month that is headed up by DeAnne Arnold, Christian D.I.V.A.s Vice President. Everyone looks forward to this time when we stop and are reminded that we all need prayer for something,” she said. “I've noticed a big change in our community when we added the prayer time this past year,” Martensen added.
In addition to their radio program, they have added a devotional section and interviews with the artists to their line-up of offerings. In March, several of the Christian D.I.V.A.s will be in concert in Nashville, Tennessee at a dinner theater called "New Thing".
Making music is what the lives of each of the Christian D.I.V.A.s are all about. The group will release their first compilation recording in spring 2008 which will feature some of their best music.

Christian D.I.V.A.s Fall 2007 News Blast
Shelly Wilson is finishing up The 2007 Full Circle Tour with Kerri Crocker with a guest appearance on God's Learning Channel (www.godslearningchannel.com) set for November 19. For the remainder of the year Shelly will focus on family and preparing for the 2008 tour. Speaker Julie LePelley will join forces with Shelly and Kerri for the 2008 Full Circle Tour as she shares her story about Jesus’ grace and mercy during the moments surrounding the tragic murder of her son. Shelly is also writing new songs in preparation for a new CD release next year.
Allison Lynn is recording her first Nashville CD with Producer Aaron Minick. The sound is rooted in Southern Gospel, with a twist of jazz. The songs include Allison's own originals, Southern Gospel classics, hymns, and new songs by Daryl Williams, Joel Lindsey, and Wayne Haun. The CD, tentatively titled "Real Big Fan", is due in time for a Christmas release.
Rachanee just finished a three-week tour of the Northeast, performing for audiences in Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Maryland. She is also now an endorsed artist by First Act Guitars, a guitar company based in Boston, Massachutes.
Bree Noble was recently named a semi-finalist in the EnSound Music Awards this past September in two categories: Best CCM Female Artist and Best CCM Album. Furthermore, her song "Gypsy Road" reached the semi-finals (top 10) in the Dallas Songwriter Awards and two songs from her latest album will be featured on Compilations by LOG Records and Acoustic Fuel.
Kerri Crocker’s present ministry focus is to trust and yield to the Spirit in all that she does; which includes finishing up recording her second CD release and touring with fellow D.I.V.A.s member, Shelly Wilson, on The Full Circle Tour. Plans are also underway for an exciting 2008 tour!
Rosanna Fiorazo’s ministry has grown leaps and bounds over the past several months as she has led worship at churches throughout her area and writing new material for an upcoming CD release. Rosanna says “The new CD will have no set deadline and will be done at a much slower pace with less stress than my previous two CDs. Life's been good, and God is great!”
Jilleen and Leah Martensen recently returned home from a five day music tour entitled The Mirror of Ministry Tour. They performed and ministered at several churches and Celebrate Recovery Groups throughout Florida. They missed visiting Mickey Mouse at Disney World, but perhaps next time!

Jilleen is actively touring this fall with stops in Northern and Southern California. She is preparing to present several holiday concerts at women’s ministry events and churches this holiday season. While at home, Jilleen and her husband are anxiously awaiting the birth of their first child, Garrett, on January 9, 2007. www.jilleen.com
Jilleen has been an independent Christian recording artist for over 10 years. She also does speaking and is one of the founders of Christian D.I.V.A.s. Its members are female Christian independent artists that support each other. I asked her to share her thoughts and suggestions.
How did you get your own career started?
I have been singing ever since I was a young child and always knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. However, since I was not signed to a record label I did not know where to begin. After majoring in music in college, I met a good friend named Junko, who was an independent Christian artist who released her own CDS and toured regularly. This was back in 1994, when the idea of being an independent artist was not the norm. After meeting Junko, I was inspired to start my own music career. Whenever I had a question I asked her. I believe having a mentor who is willing and able to help you develop your music career is very important and key to having a long term successful career nowadays.
What motivated you and Leah Martensen to start Christian D.I.V.A.s?
Leah and I met at a World Vision Artist Associate retreat back in 2005. We instantly hit it off and learned that we had a lot in common. Through our discussions, we discovered that we both shared similar concerns with the music industry and specific online websites that pursued independent artists. A lot of the material we found online was for the beginning artist. We were in need of a place that we could call "home" that supported specifically the independent female Christian artist who was further along in their career.
What's the purpose?
The Christian D.I.V.A.s are Devoted to teaching God's love, being Inspired and led by the Spirit, living Victoriously through His Word and using our Artistic gifts and talents ultimately for His kingdom. Christian D.I.V.A.s is a fun and talented pool of ladies. We are a meaningful group of artists that you can trust for all your event planning needs. The purpose is to create a community of like minded independent female Christian artists who support one another in their ministries and music careers. We do this through our online discussion group, retreats and special events.
Can anyone join?
No. We have very specific membership guidelines. You must be a Christian, a female performer, perform a minimum of 20 dates a year, and have a professionally recorded CD and nice looking website.
How do the group shows help the individual artists?
Each year we put on a special event called The Christian D.I.V.A.s Extravaganza. This past summer it was at a beautiful restaurant in Erie, Michigan. This gave a lot of the girls the opportunity to perform in an area of the country they have never been in (like me!) and to personally meet one another. The opportunity to perform as a group was fun, but the individual relationships that were built because of the event will last a lifetime.
Why would you recommend that indie artists unite for mutual interests?
From a Christian perspective, the Lord tells us in Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, "Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up." In general, creating a community of like minded artists provides opportunities to meet new people, support one another in our endeavors and share performance opportunities.
Anything else you want to share with my readers?
Artists should understand that relationships are very important in succeeding as an independent artist.
----------- I always emphasize the importance of developing good relationships with other artists. Jilleen is a perfect example of how artists can work together for mutual benefit. Check out the Christian D.I.V.A.s at http://www.christiandivas.net to get ideas for forming your own alliance and Jileen at http://www.jilleen.com.
