Angelo at Night of Joy

Angelo Ballestero's personal goal in life is to know God. Second to that, everything he does is Christ, "from Him and to Him." Romans 1:36 has become a reality for the musically talented artist from Florida.

Music has played an important role in Angelo's life over the years. He spent his teen years and early twenties writing and singing secular songs. At the age of 24, Angelo began a relationship with Jesus Christ. About a year later, he was invited to sing at a Sunday morning church service.

"From the moment I stepped on stage, the presence of the Lord was there. I felt His hand on me like I was doing the right thing, unlike when I was in the world where I never sensed God's presence. I felt like something eternal happened."

The experience has led Angelo to write many songs for God including the moving pop tune, The Wind Will Carry Me . The song won Overall Grand Prize in Songwriting at the Seventeenth Annual Christian Artist's Music Seminar.

One part of Angelo's vision for his music is to continue writing and recording original songs like The Wind Will Carry Me , songs that will inspire believers to grow spiritually and worship God. Then, to share those songs through "Worship Evangelism" events and concerts.

Part two of his vision is to have worship songs become a part of Contemporary Hits Radio airplay.

"One thing I feel tugging in my heart, that I would like to see happen, is for worship music and God's presence in worship music make their way into Top Forty Christian Radio," says Angelo. "I've wanted to create something that would get people's attention so they would stop and listen and experience God's love."

He adds, "There definitely is a secret place in the Lord that David talks about in the Psalms. I have come to know that it is my responsibility as a musician to bring people into that place to at least taste what the Lord has there for them."

"I believe it is possible for a worship tune to compete against any other song on contemporary hits radio," says Angelo. "This is another area of music that is going to widen the scope of the Christian music already out there."
