Winner of the 2008 LA Music Awards Contemporary Christian Artist of the Year, Andrea Emmes had everything going for her: she was singing nightly on the Las Vegas strip as one-third of the popular all-girl group "GG Girls" and still making it out to LA to work as a studio singer; previously she had performed as "Ariel" at Disneyworld, and numerous film, TV and Voice Over jobs (Xbox, Pizza Hut, Skype to name a few). However, this success was not meant to last.
In 2006, Andrea was involved in an accident and sprained an ankle. She was diagnosed with Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), a pain disorder that causes the body's nerves to misfire and send a deluge of pain signals throughout the body. Suddenly, after a seemingly innocent injury, Andrea went from singing seven nights a week, to constant, crippling pain: at times even unable to walk. As a result, Andrea was forced to slow down and reconsider everything about herself: personally, professionally and spiritually. Andrea, who was raised in the church, found herself once again turning to the Lord. She began soul-searching and finding herself waking up at 2 or 3 AM (often with inspiration for new songs.) It was at this point that Andrea realized she needed to stop singing for herself, and begin singing for the Lord. And from that moment on, everything else fell into place.
