Eva Kroon Pike

Eva Kroon Pike was chosen. She was a dream before she was ever held and at the tender age of 10 weeks, Eva was adopted into a loving family that had been waiting and praying for 4 years. “These circumstances nurtured Eva into the singer/song writer she is today with an extraordinary spirit, a compassion for people, a passion to share the gospel, a heart for God and an awesome voice” as Dr. Jay Dennis, Pastor, Church at the Mall, Lakeland, Florida states. Her vocals are powerful, yet engaging, versatile and unwavering, melodic and soul wrenching. Diversity describes Eva’s music style from contemporary to choral, traditional to country and southern gospel. Eva’s life growing up in Central Florida has been influenced by the multiplicity of people which has led to an ability to relate her passions and convictions with soul.

“Grace That Chose Me”, the title song of Eva’s debut album describes the essence of who she is. She co-wrote this album together with Don Koch, songwriter/producer from Nashville who continues to play a significant part in her music. Eva’s album will be released to radio January 2011. She is amazed that she is receiving many comments from listeners stating “Every song is great. There’s not one that you don’t like.” Eva stays busy singing with concerts, community events, patriotic events, festivals, benefits and radio tours. In her home church in Lakeland she is considered artist in residence.

She is an advocate for adoption and is partnering with Florida Baptist Children’s Home, a Christ-centered organization that provides services for abused, neglected, and orphaned children to help promote adoption and their other ministries to help hurting children and families. Her song and music video, “Grace That Chose Me”, will be featured. “This is one of my greatest accomplishments yet” she states. Eva has also been featured as a lead soloist on a recently released album of the Florida Worship Choir and Orchestra titled “God of the Ages” where she sang the title track for that album.

Music is my passion”, says Eva, who’s been singing since age 3. In addition, she plays the guitar and some keyboard. From singing before Ruth and Anne Graham, Babbie Mason and going on radio tour with Mark Harris, the stage is no stranger to her. She enjoys performing but most of all Eva says she loves “spreading the Gospel, one song at a time”. She knows that God has a plan for her life and He chose a very special family for her to grow up in to learn life’s lessons. Through her music, she wants more than ever to point people to her loving Father who sent His son to die so that everyone who believes in Him will live eternally. Eva states in one of her songs, “So, if I’m anything close to what I’m meant to be, I owe it to the hands of Grace that chose me”.
