Singer/songwriter Marla Johnson is no stranger to the independent Christian music scene. In the year 2000, 7Ball Magazine dubbed her as one of "25 Unsigned Bands Who Rock." Marla continues to deliver incredible music with her follow-up release of Stand. An impressive project full of original, upbeat modern rock songs that are further driven home by Marla's passionate vocals.

Produced by Nashville producer Sal Oliveri and mixed by acclaimed engineer Julian Kindred, this disc is powerful, bold and rockin'. As a worship leader, Marla shares a lot of spiritual hunger and insight through her songs.

I wanna be a warrior
I wanna fight for those who have no voice
I wanna be on fire
Let the world know I’ve made my choice
Leaving behind my past
Face to the sun
I will live for You
I will never give up!

From the song Stand by Marla Johnson

"My desire as a worship leader and Christian Artist is just to share what God has done in my own life. I’ve never been one for entertaining with my music. More than anything, I want people to be influenced by this music to live uncompromising, radical lives for Jesus Christ. I want them to listen to this music and be drawn into worship of Him. But this music is not "preachy" or "holier than thou". I have been through some pretty awful things in my life, and my heart has been really crushed. God has brought me up out of the pain and heartache, and has set my feet upon a rock. I pray that more than anything people will see God’s awesomeness and glory through what He has done for me, and through my music. I can take no credit, nor can I stand above anyone and point the finger in judgment.

I recently read a book called "No Compromise- the Life Story of Keith Green." Keith was an incredible minister of the gospel who used music as a means to draw people into a deeper commitment to Jesus. He was even willing to give up music completely if the Lord led him to – even though he was one of the most successful Christian musicians of his day. I want to live that way – completely sold out and focused on glorifying Jesus Christ every day of my life. This music is only a tool to do that.

There are a lot of youths who are struggling, as I did, with finding their purpose in life. On this CD, I address some of these issues and struggles we face. There are so many voices out there, telling us which way to go. Sometimes it’s hard to hear God’s voice leading and guiding us through the confusion. And sometimes it’s hard to obey when we do hear God’s voice. One of my goals with this CD is to help in that struggle. You can find your destiny in God. You can live for God with all your heart – don’t let the past dictate your future to you. You can do, and be, something great!
