Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.—Philippians 4:6-7

Cadia is a derivative of the ancient Greek word Arcadia meaning 'a place of peace.' Long time friends Tori and Courtney have banded together to create just such an atmosphere on their debut, self-titled CD. Setting precedent with their recent groundbreaking video "Inside Out," the official theme song and video for Women of Faith's "Revolve Tour," the two are making good on their resolution to encourage young women toward establishing identity in Christ. The album delivers high-energy pop/rock, chock full of catchy hooks, insightful lyrics, and insanely singable melodies.

Exploring a remarkably broad range of subject matter, yet connected by Cadia's trademark harmonies, the project is a natural outgrowth of the girls' life experiences –experiences they insist are typical of most American teenaged girls; experiences that are anything but conducive to 'a place of peace.'

"We are just normal people," says Courtney, who has not yet celebrated her twentieth birthday. "I just want to be real with these girls. I want to tell them that I've been in their shoes, and I know how hard life can be. Life isn't always chocolate and roses. Sometimes life really stinks. But that's okay. Building a relationship with Christ is a journey, not an event."

Tori, who recently graduated from high school, concurs. "You're not always going to feel beautiful, and we totally understand that. We don't always feel pretty. We don't have it all together. We are not perfect; not even close to it. But because of that, I think girls can relate to us. It gives us the opportunity to meet them where they are."
