MUSIC SPOTLIGHT

JACI VELASQUEZ BY MICHELLE C . DANKO

Jaci Velasquez began her career at the age of sixteen , and has been a multi-platinum selling , Grammy nominated artist .
Jaci will be releasing her latest album , Trust , on March 31 , 2017 . This album marks several firsts for this Contemporary Christian artist .
One of the major firsts is that it will come out simultaneously in english and spanish . Second , the album is comprised of worship music , which , as Jaci states , she had previously never considered doing .
Performing throughout the world , Jaci has obtained sixteen No . 1 hits , published three books , acted in seven movies , and is launching a non-profit clothing line .
Although her life as seemed idyllic , Jaci has gone through highs and lows . The one thing that she has learned is to trust in God
What led you to create your first ever worship album ? There was so much behind it . I never pictured myself making worship records or worship music . I ’ ve always done Christian music , but not worship . It ’ s different . What happened was , they sent me a bunch of songs , even before I signed the deal , that they wanted me to go through .
