"Just Sing!"-2007 (2007)
"Just Sing!" was released by T.J. Albert Productions; "Tawana's" label, on November 18, 2007. It's a collection of songs written by Tawana J. Albert (aka: "Tawana")with a couple of the songs having co writers. Many of the songs are written from personal experiences in her own life. She does have fun songs as well that she has included on this project. But as she always does, she has a message within the fun songs that points people to Christ. Her title song, "Just Sing" is one of those fun songs. But she felt it was an appropriate title for her project as it covers her testimony in relation to what God's done in her life & that he's had his hand upon this whole entire music project even in the midst of her health issues. Several of the songs are already getting airplay on traditional & internet radio, in several markets across the country. If Tawana could describe it in one phrase about her music, she'd say: "It's about singing with a purpose".

About Tawana
BIO-My Story

"Tawana's" music is honest, heartfelt expressions of life happening along the journey."Tawana" writes and performs songs that have a unique way of sharing with others the struggles, victories, celebrations, praises, and just a "normal" day in various chapters of her life. Like a good book, with God's hand-turning the pages, she invites her audience to take a look at life through her eyes.

Attending one of "Tawana's" concerts, is more of an experience rather than just another show. Her lyrics go straight to the heart. She then, allows God to take over from there. Whether it's a secular or a christian venue, "Tawana" shares her faith woven within the context of her songs. And she does this in a Christ-like manner. This is well received by her audience which often leads to common ground and ministry.

Through the pages of her journey, God has blessed "Tawana" for her desire to honor him through her life and music ministry. The past two years, she was nominated for the Momentum Awards (Indep. Christian Artist Award)in 3 categories: Contemporary Artist of the Year, Song of the Year (2006-Living Water & 2007-Dancin' On The Clouds), and Female Vocalist of The Year. She released her first music project "Just Sing!" back in November which she had produced in Nashville, TN. Due to this step of faith, God has given "Tawana" favor in having her music reach more people by means of traditional and internet radio. "Tawana" has been receiving airplay on traditional radio stations in several different markets as well with her songs: "Just Sing" (Made the Top 10 @ 10 at one station), "Dancin' On The Clouds", and "Keep Christ In Christmas". "Tawana" was excited when 88.1 FM in Kansas picked "Keep Christ In Christmas" as the #1 Christmas Song of 2007. And the song was received airplay in several other states during the month of December which included: ME, MI, CA, MA, TX, KY, & SC. "Tawana" considers it an honor for others to consider her for these opportunities of recognition. But she's quick to say that "It's All About Jesus" and making him the "Star". Also,"Tawana" has just partnered with Covenant Eyes which is endorsed by "Focus On The Family". She is excited about joining forces with this ministry to help others who may struggle with internet related addictions, or may just want to have internet integrity/responsibility in their home or workplace.

"Tawana's" desire is to allow God to use her to help others through the music he's given her. She strives to honor God with her talents and life as she continues through the pages of this journey that he's chosen for her.

"Tawana" is available for all Christian/Church & Family Friendly community concerts/special events. She is also available to M.C. events combined with sharing her music. She is available to perform in as well as outside of the Houston area (& will perform out of state as requested). To inquire about booking Tawana for a concert/church service or other special event: Bookingtja@yahoo.com.

Wow...that is hard to believe. I know that happened in Russia during the Cold War too.

It scares me that it seems our country is moving in the same direction. Religion is being taken from us in small little steps. It started with prayer in schools. Separation of church and state....where will it end.

God bless you.
