Here is an article that an anonymous person wrote from a Church I performed at this past summer. This article is from this website www.youthfaith.org I love to perform and share my testimony with others. My music is a gift that God gave to me and I am so blessed that I must share it with others so they can be blessed too. However I have had many journeys with the harp through God so sharing my testimony and my music is a real pleasure.
Harpist With a Story

It came to my attention that a harpist was going to have special music at our local church. I thought to myself that it would be very interesting. I've never personally seeing a harp, let alone heard the sounds the harp makes.
I had arrived at church that Sabbath morning and received the bulletin for the Sabbath service. I noticed in the bulletin that the same harpist was going to do a sermon as well. Honest truth, I misjudged and misperceived my original negative thoughts. In my mind I thought: why is a harpist doing a sermon? why isn't the harpist sticking to what she knows? Boy was I wrong and humbled at the same time.
The name of the harpist was Chantal Dube. She started out the worship hour with a couple of songs with her harp. The sound was incredible and she was very good at playing the harp. I was amazed, and fell in love with sound the instrument made.
It came the time for the sermon, and Chantal started to talk about her past. I was enchanted of what her life consisted of. Her sermon was inspiring and yet humbling. You know that feeling that you get that God is present. Well during this sermon I can tell you that God was present. She was absolutely 100% genuine, believe me, people can tell when a sermon is counterfeit and or fake. She was incredible and had many people in the audience in tears. Each of her story lines followed by a beautiful instrumental sound with her harp.
I highly recommend her as a guest speaker, and of course as a harpist. You can visit her website at: http://www.chantaldube.com
She also has a CD out, which includes possibly her best work. Chantal's 2008 album is called "Still Moments" and can be purchased online at:

I was very inspired, humbled, and I wished I had the same faith as she does. I personally don't think that I'm physically, mentally, or spiritually strong as her, and probably could not go through what she did. Please have a look at her website and of course the wonderful Gospel CD.

Here are a few e-mails that I thought I would post about comments I have been getting on my latest CD. Although the CD was not recorded with the purpose of lullaby music in mind, it seems to have worked very well with these little ones. The following are a couple of emails I have received recently from the thankful parents who have this great 'parenting tool'.
Hi Chantal
Here are some photos we took of our little Joshua with your CD. It has been an IMMENSE blessing to us, as we use this often to sooth him to sleep, and it is usually on repeat, so, we go to sleep with it on in the background, and those middle of the night moments are smooth as we are calmed as we recall the words to the hymns as we help him through the night.
This week he has been in the hospital with a respiratory problem (common cold for infants) and we have it playing in the hospital room, and it has been a blessing to us.
We have several more, and if you would like them, possibly for promotional purposes, or whatever, just ask.
THANK YOU!!!

Our baby absolutely loves your music. I put our baby to sleep listening to it tonight she drifted right off to sleep. Thank you very much for the CD.

Super Bowl Sunday!
It was Super Bowl Sunday night and believe it or not...I had a wedding to play at. Yes somehow this bride managed to find a guy that wasn't worried about getting married during the Super Bowl. Or maybe he did but they booked the wedding unknowingly :) Well either way they seemed happy and the guests were talking all about the happy couple and of course the Super Bowl. It was a lovely ceremony and reception at Le Parc which has a great indoor facility for ceremonies and dinners.
