Martha Munizzi Make It Loud

(Orlando, FL) - April 26, 2011 - Martha Munizzi, one of gospel music’s most endearing worshipers, has released her highly-anticipated CD, Make It Loud. A clarion call for God’s people to share their faith with boldness, Make It Loud is the artist’s 6th live recording. The GRAMMY Nominee and Dove and Stellar Award winner is known for her passionate praise and her unique ability to touch believers of all races. Recognized as the top-selling independent artist in gospel music and a top Billboard-charting artist, Munizzi’s Make It Loud is already being touted as the worship leader’s best yet. The new project features the talents of William McDowell, Michael Gungor, Jonathan Stockstill, Lori Morrison, Daniel Eric Groves and the debut of Danielle Munizzi, daughter of Martha and Dan Munizzi.

“Excellent”, the lead single, is a rousing and hyperactive cut about the awesomeness of God. Destined to be sung by praise teams in churches nationwide, it’s the perfect song to give God radical praise. The dynamic horn section and superior musicianship is eclipsed only by the anointed vocals of Martha and her background singers. Other memorable cuts include the jaw-dropping title cut, a clever mix of rock and pop, and the infectious, declarative “My God Is A Big God” featuring William McDowell and Jeff Smith. Fellow worshiper Jonathan Stockstill contributes on the worshipful, “No One Higher” and to the sweet sounds of “I Know That You Love Me”, also highlighting vocals of Christian artist Michael Gungor. Danielle Munizzi, a worshiper in her own right, writes and sings the beautiful “Your Love Oh God” while Daniel Eric Groves co-writes (along with Martha) the reflective ballad “Fill Me”. “Until”, another amazing cut, with its jazzy elements and impeccable harmonies, closes out the 12-track musical masterpiece.

Martha says about Make It Loud, her first self-produced CD, “This CD is about being bold in our faith. But not just by declaring it, but living it. Whether it’s loving or giving or restoring or worshiping, let’s do it with some fervor and passion - like we never have before. Let’s be more intentional in what we do. Let’s have our lives purposely make a statement of faith to change the hearts and the minds of this culture.”

Singer Makes First Appearance On BET’s Bobby Jones Gospel, Sunday, February 6, 2011 @ 9:00 AM EST

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Nashville, TN — In a year of dramatic firsts, Gospel star Lucinda Moore continues to break new ground in her career and open doors for her current CD, `Blessed Broken & Given’ (Tyscot Records). The singer has won the first Stellar Award (the gospel music industry’s answer to the Grammy) of her two-decade career at the 26th Annual Stellar Award ceremony that took place at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. In an upset vote, Moore beat out gospel legends Shirley Caesar and Vanessa Bell Armstrong, alongside newcomer Fredericka Faison, for the coveted honor.

“I‘m floored and in utter disbelief,” Moore confesses as she ponders this new accolade. “I worked non-stop and fought every obstacle to get here. Now, God has rewarded the hard work I’ve done through the years. I’m so thankful to all of the staff at Tyscot Records, my co-producer Jojo Hill, and my past co-producer Vashawn Mitchell for making me sound great.”

Moore is one of the few women in gospel music who actually has a hand in producing her albums. The 20-year music veteran is best known for her 2006 Top 20 breakthrough smash, “Pressure Into Praise” that she wrote and co-produced with Vashawn Mitchell. However, her latest single “The Fire Baptized Medley” that she co-produced with JoJo Hill, is currently one of the Top 100 most played gospel songs in the country according to Nielsen BDS that monitors radio airplay for Billboard magazine. She performs the song Sunday, February 6, 2011 @ 9 a.m. EST on Black Entertainment Television’s (BET) longest running program, “Bobby Jones Gospel.” It’s her first appearance on the show and this episode will also feature performances from Donald Lawrence and Dewayne Woods.

A mother of three boys, Moore splits her time between her native Connecticut and North Carolina where she moved to care for her now deceased grandmother. It’s bittersweet time for Moore who went through the dissolution of her mentally abusive marriage as she prepared the `Blessed Broken & Given’ CD. “Emotionally I was a wreck,” she says as she ponders the songs she wrote to encourage others. “I’m doing it to help other people come out of what they are coming out of,” she explains. “You don’t have to be unhappy and sit in abuse… This is the happiest time of my adult life.” Visit www.lucindamoore.com or www.tyscot.com for more information.
