Roger Coles and Lisa Sottosanti met in the summer of 2003. Roger had just graduated from Liberty University with a degree in Religion. He came back to his home church and began leading worship for the young adult services. Lisa Sottosanti began attending the Mosaic young adult services and was very impressed with Roger's voice and devilishly handsome looks :)
Soon after, Lisa asked Roger if he would be willing to sing a duet with her for a special music song that she was scheduled to sing the next month. The two began singing together and are still doing it today. Since then, Lisa has taken on Roger's last name and they've been happily married for almost 5 years. Roger is the worship pastor at a church plant called The Sound and together they are part of the worship band, Beyond the Melody, where their desire is to leave people with "more than just songs and melodies".
Beyond the Melody conducts worship workshops, preaches evangelistic messages, and performs at retreats, conferences, concerts, and churches. If you or someone you know is looking for a worship band who can lead others into the presence of God, please consider Beyond the Melody.

“Roger and Lisa Coles are two of the greatest worship leaders and musicians that I have ever heard in our years of traveling the world. With every chord they play you sense the heart of God come down, with every harmony they sing together you feel as if you're listening to angels sing. I can't imagine a greater way to revive the heart of your congregation towards God than having them in to take your students or adults to a new level of prayer and worship.
I had the amazing privilege to watch Roger Coles preach on the other side of the world to crowds of thousands of students, both Christian and non-Christian. He amazed me with his ability to catch the heart of God for a group of people, captivate a spellbound audience with his message and go for effective change in the lives and hearts of the people.”
