Sarah Faith
Music Critic,Vlogger, Blogger, Singer, Songwriter, Worship Leader, Jesus lover, Self Professed Bible Geek, Fashionista, Local Missionary, Coffee Connoisseur and all-around awesome person to know.

Most embarrassing song in music library right now: Its between "Party in the USA" by Miley Cyrus, "Baby" by Justin Bieber or her own recorded rendition of "Humpty Dumpty"
About Sarah: Sarah's generally a pretty awesome girl. Add a few cups of dork, several tablespoons of irony and a pound of cheese with handful of wit and you've got her sense of humor.
She likes to have fun in the little things and enjoys having alone time to write.
Being outside, playing catch, going on adventures, camping and hiking are a few of the activities that perk her interest. Other interests include reading a good book, watching a good movie, painting her nails, reveling in her perfect outfit choices, studying scriptures, Christian history, piano and guitar, songwriting and blogging just to name a few.
She also likes long walks on the beach, romantic dinners by candlelight and ... also thinks its pretty lame that she's writing her own bio right now.

About Erin: Most importantly, it should be known that Erin rather dislikes writing profiles about herself. Too boxy. Described as a hipster (or closet hipster) by her friends, she is actually put off by the idea of hipsterism. The whole thing is a logical fallacy. Or so she says. Growing up in a household where her parents always encouraged her and her 7 siblings to listen to music, Erin has submerged herself in quality (and maybe not always so quality) tunes from a very young age.
Outside of music, Erin enjoys reading (alot), writing (occasionally), being outside, people watching and listening. It is not unusual to find her at Starbucks, sometimes doing all of the above things.

Shawn Kotris
Avid Hip Hop fan, Even more avid Knicks fan, Jesus is my Homeboy, Single dad, Video game aficionado, and I love steak.
Favorite Jams: Let's not go with favorite jams so much as favorite artists. Bizzle, Canon, Trip Lee, Rel Paul, Caine, Benjah, Canton Jones, Tony Tillman, Derek Minor (FKA Pro), Andy Mineo, KB, Sho Baraka, MC Jin, Reconcile, Flame, Tedashii, Alex Faith, Chad Jones, Datin, Json, Wit, Dre Murray, Young Noah, Brandon Heath, Switchfoot, Third Day. Then there's the non-Christian bands: The Ramones, The Who, Reel Big Fish, Sublime, and much much more. My mind is blank right now. So sue me, not really though, it wouldn't be worth your time. But legitimately Joey Ramone is one of my favorite singers. A good story of someone who probably shouldn't sing, singing with heart and doing it well. It makes my manly heart melt.
Most embarrassing song in music library right now: Can't even lie......The Kidz Bop Soundtrack. It's for my kids don't hate.
About Shawn: Well first off I am a single parent. I was never married and I did a lot of bad things in my life. But just like Samson, Paul/Saul, and others, Jesus is using me for good. I literally should be dead, but my King has kept me here for a reason. And that reason is to serve him. Part of that reason might be getting good Godly music out there for the masses to digest and learn about God in a Hip Hop form. But I am sure there are other reasons also. I grew up in the church but quickly found my way out of it once I was old enough to make my own decisions. I officially came back in December of 2011 and I've hit the ground running ever since.
Aside from all that, I love spending time with my children, I love anything basketball related, and I love video games. I like relaxing with my bible before bed and finding out more about my God, and I love sharing my faith anyway I can.

A Little About our "Resident Music Genius":
James has been listening to and absorbing everything about
music since he was two years old! He has seen the methods of music storage
progress from cassette tape, to CD to the now popular mp3 format. He is a self
proclaimed Christian Rock history expert who is known for going on long winded
explanations about the background of any given artist you may mention, the
record label they were on, and who else was on that label at that point in
time. His music collection is strongly varied (and stored on an external hard
drive for safe keeping) and ranges from folk, to pop to rock, to blues, to
fusion jazz, to classical. The only style he particularly dislikes is
rap/hip-hop, though he periodically will give new stuff a listen to see if his
taste has changed. He also is pretty much a ‘human calendar’ who can remember
the exact date he met many of his closest friends. Other interests of his
include, baseball, particularly the Cleveland Indians, to whom he and his
father share a 20 game season ticket plan every season since 2009, studying the
Bible, reading what he considers enjoyable reading material, such as anything
by CS Lewis, Mark Driscoll, John Piper, and Timothy Keller. He also pretty much
despises popular top 40 radio stations, because while pop music is enjoyable,
there is so much better music out there, that never gets the attention it truly
deserves.
