Francesca Battistelli is a Grammy Award winning musician from New York City. Raised by parents immersed in the arts and Broadway, she developed a love of music, theatre, and performance at a young age. But instead of using these talents for applause and accolades, Francesca prefers to point people to something beyond herself –towards hope in Christ. Her soulful piano-pop sound resembles a blend of her music interests – jazz, rock, gospel and R&B – woven beautifully together with themes of trust and risk-taking. In a noisy world filled with sounds and images, we cry out for an authentic voice–one who is not afraid to speak truth and purpose to a generation.
From Paula Ring: 3rd row winner of best seats in the house for Tobymac 2024 “Hi – this thank you is WAY late in coming, but nonetheless, I wanted to say thank you to KTIS, from the bottom of my heart, for the amazing experience you gifted me. I have always loved listening to your station and hearing the music there, but being in the third row at the Target Center to hear it live, in person – it’s hard to put into words what happened in my heart as the music flooded over me. It was so inspiring to hear the songs and the stories, and to not only hear the music, but to literally feel it coursing through my entire body. I will never forget that night. Thank you so very much! God bless your ministry!”
