Well, I got your CD finally! I left Amarillo after Christmas and drove
to Dallas, then Houston and it is still the only CD I'm listening to
in my car, it is just beautiful!! I am so grateful I found you."
~ Robin, Texas
I was feeling pretty bad, I popped in your CD and just felt so uplifted,
your lyrics went straight to my heart and started healing my heart.
The Lord truly has blessed you with a gift to minister to others through
their trials. I literally listened to your CD all day the next day on
repeat. Praise the Lord... Thank you for sharing the tremendous gift
the Lord gave you. ~ D. Murphy - Simi Valley, CA
My absolute favorite Christian CD! I have a large collection of Christian
music, but I cannot stop playing Rosanna's CD! It is uplifting, joyful,
inspiring and beautiful! I love singing along, and I don't get tired
of it. Her songwriting is outstanding and her faith in the Lord inspiring.
I can't recommend this CD enough! It's better than 90% of the music
played on the Christian radio stations. ~ R. Smits, Louisville,
KY
Rosanna, the songs are really feelings I've had all my life! The CD
is wonderful, it's the only one I play in my car! I cannot tell you
how much you have inspired me to open my heart to the Almighty! ~

Hello Rosanna , I just want to tell you about your new CD. I just now
enjoy it yesterday for the first time..I find all the work wonderful
and very professional, and of course with the beauty of the Holy Spirit.
The company just took a week to put the CD here at Mexico..excellent
service! May God bless your ministry. ~ D. Rios - Monterrey, Mexico
So I walk in to Family Christian Store to do some Christmas shopping
and I hear some really nice music. I go to the counter and ask what
CD is that and they say, "That's Rosanna Fiorazo playing live in
the store today." WOW! I got your CD immediately and it's sooooo
good!" ~ Linda - Wisconsin
I find myself listening to your CD over and over. It has been a blessing
and an inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your passion...It makes
me want to strive to be more like Him. ~ M. Bellantoni - New York,
NY
Thanks again for your wonderful music this past weekend. The Lord truly
used your ministry to work in my heart. It was a joy to listen to you
and your band while sitting there in the sun watching the wind sway
the treetops in the background. You have an awesome voice! ~ J.
Rucinski - Kingsford, MI
What a God honoring offering Grace Journey is! In a day of very man
centered theology it is refreshing to hear lyrics that focus on His
grace for us. May all be encouraged by this music to truly glorify God
by enjoying Him forever. ~ T. McElroy - Chicago, IL
Hey! I’m listening to I’m Free as I get ready for school!
It has become a little routine that I listen to that song everyday before
school! GOD BLESS YOU! ~ Deb, Ohio
Rosanna’s music is truly an inspiration and a wonderful example
of what God can do when an artist dedicates her talents to His glory.
What a pleasant surprise to hear such a beautiful voice singing lyrics
SHE wrote… I would have no hesitation to recommend her as a guest
artist at churches. ~ B. Johnson - Charlotte, North Carolina
Grace Journey is the CD I pick when sitting in the long carpool lines.
Rosanna's vocals and lyrics take me to a far greater place! ~ G.
Sanders, Mississippi
No one like You is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard!
It puts me on my knees in tears and a state of extreme humility and
thankfulness for what the Lord had done for me/us. Rosanna has the most
beautiful voice. ~ D. Olson, Appleton, WI
My son and I recently took a trip to Arizona, 6 hours in the car, and
we listened to your CD for much of the ride. His favorite is Help Me
To Remember, and he knows most of the lyrics now. ~ K. Smith - Laguna
Niguel, CA
One of the best in my Christian CD collection! The songs on this CD
are inspired by the Lord. Thank you Rosanna and I am looking forward
to what you do next. ~ Christene Ostrom
Rosanna, "Haven't You Heard" has been such a blessing to me.
I can't help but sing along. It is so apparent in your music that you
greatly desire to press into the Lord, to KNOW Him, and be known by
Him. Thank you for sharing your heart with all of us as you worship
the King! ~ Naomi, Green Bay, WI
INDUSTRY REVIEWS:
There’s a hint of modern country sprinkled throughout this very
nice self-produced release. Not too surprising given that bands members
from Faith Hill and Brooks & Dunn provide instrumental support.
The simple, straightforward lyrics follow a similar theme; God is full
of glory. ~ ALPHA OMEGA NEWS
Rosanna has a real
music pedigree having performed with Bobby Kimball of Toto, but since
being saved she has turned her talents to God's use...She plays it straight
down the middle of the road, but it is all so polished and well done
you can't fault her for being formulaic - it sounds so good that it
just gets in there and you're humming those country-tinged pop and rock
tunes all day. The lyrics not only speak of worship but how you can
find God every day ... because it is just so singable you don't feel
like you're being preached at. ~ REVIEW by Philip Crawley
Extremely professional
songwriting, vocals, and production! Rosanna Fiorazo's music features
stellar production and vocals that bring to mind the combined talents
of the popular vocal quartet, Point Of Grace. ~ Steve Orchard -
THE DAILY NEWS, Iron Mountain, MI
Rosanna's songwriting takes you down many familiar roads of life, and
is not shy about dealing with the cracks, potholes, and uneven pavement.
Grace Journey has a fresh sound and a much needed message... ~ The
Wisconsin Christian News
Your music is a breath of fresh air. Only One God is an awesome song!
~ Bob Shaw, 95.9 The FISH, Los Angeles, CA
We play Rosanna’s music on WPFF radio and we had her band at our
festival. People greatly enjoyed her performance - top quality musically,
and encouraging in ministry. We wholeheartedly endorse and recommend
her for your church or festival. ~ Mark Schwarzbauer GM, WPFF, Sturgeon
Bay, WI
Congratulations on your excellent work on your new CD. It is a phenomenal
project! The great lyrical content along with the tremendous quality
background music are a huge blessing to the listener. ~ A. Ramos,
Kingdom FM WJYO 91.5/88.3 - Naples, FL
Our listeners love your music, and I was blessed by your song “He’s
Exalted” even more when I got to see you sing it live in Green
Bay. The whole project is sweet but that song just takes me to Gog’s
throne. Thanks Rosanna! ~ T. C. – WGNV Radio, Miladore, WI
Over the last few years I have been very impressed by the number
of CCM artists who turn out quality product on what must be a small
budget, small compared to the mega-buck projects of the big labels.
Singer, songwriter and worship leader from Wisconsin Rosanna Fiorazo
is a case in point. Of the 11 songs on this CD, she wrote 10 of them,
the odd man out being the Rich Mullins and Mitch McVicker-penned classic
from 'The Jesus Record', "My Deliverer". Mitch himself adds
his own voice to a reading that is nothing like the kiddie chorus and
anthemic orchestral arrangement of the original. Rosanna's style is
good, straightforward pop, her voice is clear and accurate with a good
range, and her songs are direct, challenging and unambiguous - there's
no doubt where she's coming from. Mix in accomplished musicians and
singers, and here we have a very good quality indie release that is
worth investigating. ~ Review by Trevor Kirk (Cross
Rhythms UK)

Paula, CA
Wonderful music! I heard the song He's Exalted on CSN radio and it started
to make me cry and I had to find the artist. I listen to Rosanna’s
CD all the time and sing along when I'm in my pick up. Only the Lord
Himself would appreciate my singing. I look forward to more from Rosanna. ~ Stephen Fiducia
Inspiring, very
easy to sing along with. My 3 year old loves the CD as much as I do
she plays it alot. Her favorite song is Only One God. It is very uplifting
for me when I need a boost. Thank you Rosanna! ~ Sandra Evers

* Artist Spotlight By Stephanie Colucci: When listening to Rosanna’s
music, you can't stop yourself from wanting to dance. The joy of the
Lord is contagious in her music. This is the kind of music to listen
to in really bad traffic. While everyone else is battling road rage,
you can be singing and praising your Savior. Being stuck in traffic
just means more time to listen to some good music. On a bad day, a good
song can change your perspective. Rosanna has a real heart for God and
it really comes through in her song writing. She came to know Christ
in 1996 and that is when she started writing new music. She started
her ministry singing in front of anyone who would listen. Today, she
brings a sense of openness to the Christian music scene. Her music will
make you feel comfortable and at ease. With just one listen, you get
the feeling that she would be just as content leading worship at a local
church or in a stadium in front of 20,000 people. On her latest album
"Haven’t you heard", Rosanna wrote 10 out of the 11
songs on the CD. The only one not written by her was written by Rich
Mullins and Mitch McVicker. Mitch also sings on her version of My Deliverer.
The song "I am Free" expresses the joy of someone who has
truly been set free by the grace of God and just wants to share that
freedom with everyone. The song "Have mercy on me" features
Rosanna calling out to God and finding shelter in God’s grace.
My favorite song on the CD is "Dancing with my Savior". This
is the song about someone who knows that her Father delights in her
and can relish the freedom only He can give. Someone who has experienced
mercy can sing, laugh and dance with their savior. If there is one common
thread that runs throughout her music, it is hope and joy. I hope you
take the time to get to know Rosanna Fiorazo. You will be blessed. Make
sure to check out the scripture that inspired this CD, Isaiah 40:28.
