FRANCESCA BATTISTELLI

Inspired by legendary jazz greats and current contemporaries like John Mayer and Sara Bareilles, singer/songwriter Francesca Battistelli set out to write pop, soul-infused music that would motivate and encourage listeners of any age. Her exposure to the arts began at a young age with her interest and involvement in theatre, music and dance, and at 15, Francesca began writing and performing her own songs. Today she is the best-selling Contemporary Christian Music artist to come along in 10 years, with six Dove Awards to her credit, including Artist of the Year. Three of her singles have gone to #1: “Free To Be Me,” “This Is The Stuff,” and “Write Your Story.”
