"Destination7:" God is the reason,music is just the vehicle""

"I just realized that I have had the Destination7 CD in my player for a week now. It has been all I have played. Reminds me of the vinyl days when we would wear out a record when we first got it. But this is different. First because it is a CD and does not wear like the vinyl did, but also it is a Christian Band project. You find yourself drawn to it over and over again for a different purpose. In the days of vinyl, it was the latest CCR or Cream LP. You played it because --- you just played it till it wore out.

You really don’t often find that type of appeal in todays CCM arena, let alone the independent offerings. Destination7 is so good, you just play it -- like it is a natural thing to do. The vocals are powerful, the hit factor on the majority of the music is strong, and hook filled. It seems like they have been playing together forever, yet they only formed in late 2006.

The 6 piece band from Southern California has already made the ’buzz’ in their market and been blessed by credible awards. They were the "Best Christian Artist of the Year" in 2007, by the LA Music Awards. Their release "Wait For The Sun" was a semi-finalist at the "music in the Rockies" song and band competition. They have also won recognition for their track "Rest(His Name Is Jesus)" as the "Best Christian Artist of the Year, Single" in 2007, by the LA Music Awards. As you can see, in one short year, they have built a resume that is a testimony to God’s work and direction for these musicians.

Their music is crisp, original, and has a strong message. The production is good, the lyrics and vocals even better. The feedback of this bands effect on their fans have been stellar. I have been shared fans letters about lives touched and restored by the title track, "Wait For The Sun". The direct and immediate impact with their efforts, on their fans, is something that most Christian artists can only pray for.

The group has some great hopes and ambitions outside of their music. Christian Mix Inet prays for the realization of these dreams. Impacting the world - one soul at a time is a foundation that we all need to take. The love and spirit of this group of musicians shows in their music and the spirit led lyrics. Impacting the listener with hope and compassion. We encourage you to request Destination7’s music and see for yourself. Visit their website and tell them you like what they do and encourage them in their ministry."

Bio

Destination 7 is a 6 piece band from Los Angeles, CA. D7 have integrated rock, blues,funk, soul, and classical influences into their music, while still creating a unique and fresh sound. With powerhouse vocals, stellar musicianship, catchy hooks, and nostalgic undertones, their 2007 release “Wait For the Sun” appeals to a wide demographic of people, both Christian and secular.
Each song on the record is a testimony, and a glimpse into the life of lead singer Natasha Ponticelli; a girl who once called herself an “Atheist of Atheist’s”. The songs were written over a period of several years, and depict different stages in the journey of a new believer.
The powerful title track “Wait for the Sun” was inspired by a friend of Natasha’s who ended her own life abruptly in April of 2006. Natasha believes that her own life long battle with depression, coupled with divine intervention and scripture, allowed her to create a song that has already been used by God to save lives.
After only 18 months of forming, this band has made a lasting impression on the Los Angeles music scene. D7 were Voted “ 2007 Best Christian Artist of the Year”(Los Angeles Music Awards), and have been known to frequent some of the most famous secular nightclubs in Hollywood. One venue in particular has fallen for the bands music and inspiring message. That venue is the World Famous Whisky A Go Go. D7 have built a strong relationship with the staff at the Whisky, and are honored to call this historical venue their home.
Within only 3 months of playing gigs there, D7 have been asked to headline a first ever “Christian Rock Show” in summer of ‘08. Destination 7 is passionate about reaching the lost for Christ, and they hope that their music will delight the soul and bring peace to a turbulent world. Their prayer is to always remain dedicated, and focused on their purpose.
“God is the reason, music is just the vehicle.”

* Destination 7 currently have 2 singles out. Rest(His Name is Jesus) in the A/C market, and "Shelter" in the Rock/Alternative market.
They are being played on over 100 stations nation-wide, and were recently picked up by EMF Broadcasting(Air1 and KLOVE).
