JJ's music was recently featured "So You Think You Can Dance?" on FOX. Here's a clip...
*My husband, Dave, and I moved to Nashville, TN from Arizona in September of 2006. This past December we welcomed our little girl, Lucy Love Heller, into our family. We are truly blessed!
Dave and I have the unique privilege of writing songs and playing music for a living. We travel most weeks out of the month to share our hearts with people all across the country. We've been full-time musicians since we were married over five years ago, and we've been able to watch each other grow in artistry and in love.
My husband plays the guitar and provides backup vocals and comic relief when we perform. I don't think I can ever comprehend what a treasure I have in such a man who is willing to place me in the spotlight ahead of himself. Our official band-name is JJ Heller, but Dave is perhaps a bigger part of this than I am, and I know that I could never do this without him. Sharing the stage with my husband is one of the greatest joys of my life.
In our short musical career, Dave and I have been able to release four full-length records and two EPs. Painted Red (November 2008), The Pretty & The Plain (2007), Wake Up The World (Christmas EP - 2007), Only Love Remains (2006), Collection of Thoughts *EP (2005), and Songs That I Know (2004).
We had the awesome privilege of working with producer MITCH DANE (grammy award-winning engineer of Jars of Clay) at Sputnik Sound in Nashville, TN for the past three years. We couldn't be happier with the way that Mitch truly captures the spirit of our music.
Music has a way of speaking to my heart like nothing else can. It is my hope and prayer that my songs will somehow speak to you and bring you hope, peace and inspiration. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this.
Blessings,
*jjheller
