Used to singing backup, a Canadian Christian pop/R&B artist is now stepping into the limelight.  

Charity Grant is a singer/songwriter who is new to the Christian music scene when it comes to releasing original songs. However, she's been singing on stage for most of her life. Grant's first single released in August is 'Pressure.'

"This is my first release. I spent the majority of my teenage years and young adult life leading worship at my dad's church in Ottawa. I've been leading worship for a long time and singing backup for various artists."

Daniel Emond of Adult and Teen Challenge explains that the need for this kind of facility is two-fold.
