Group Name: Julie Besler

Song Title: Fingerprint

City: Port Coquitlam, BC

Performing for: 5 years

Music Genre: Contemporary worship

I’ve always loved playing music from a young age. I had my first tastes of performing at church, school, and an old folks’ home. Fast forward to summer 2017, and I was looking at the stars one night out at the summer camp I grew up going to when God put some words in my head. I went to my room to write them down, and later that night, I found myself getting out of bed a few times to write down more. I eventually turned these words into a worship song called Fingerprint! I thank God for the musical talent and opportunity He’s given to me, and I want to use it to glorify Him.

Group Name: Olivia Giannini

Song Name: Here’s My Heart

City: Kent, WA

Performing for: 10 years

Music Genre: Worship

I’m 20 years old and currently working as a worship leader at a church in Renton, WA. I have been singing and writing songs for as long as I can remember and my dream is to share them. My ultimate goal is to write songs that draw people into the presence of God and I hope that this song does just that.
