Christa Deánā (Duh-nay) is a Christian Singer/Songwriter from Philadelphia who sings with conviction and power. Her songs speak to the journey of a woman after God's own heart. Each song is deeply rooted in a personal, yet extremely vulnerable relationship with God. After experiencing bullying, depression, and thoughts of suicide, she used music as a coping mechanism. Additionally, seeing the issue through the eyes of a high school music teacher, she is motivated to continuously write songs that encourage and give H.O.P.E. It's the beauty and emotion in her voice and the candor in her lyrics that help inspire others to go all the way, every day, with God.
