Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit. - Psalm 147.5 (NIV)

The story of Martha Munizzi is nothing short of amazing. In a business where it is nearly impossible for an artist to make any sort of national impact without the support and backing of a major record label, Martha did exactly that, releasing three successful independent projects. Now, in partnership with Integrity Music, Martha is entering a new phase of her ministry by adding worldwide distribution. And, in March, she will release No Limits, an album that speaks volumes about her own life and the promises of God for all who trust Christ.

Martha began her recording career with Say The Name, the first album released by Martha and her husband Dan on their own Martha Munizzi Music label. She followed with the 2004 release of The Best Is Yet to Come, which stormed onto the Billboard Gospel Chart in late January of that year. The CD debuted at No.12, eventually peaked at No. 2 and remained in or near the Top 10 for more than a year. When He Came, a Christmas album released later in '04, set the stage for Martha to receive the coveted Stellar Award for New Artist of the Year in January 2005. In addition, she has received numerous Dove Award nominations and most recently, a GRAMMY Award nomination.

Martha's unique music style, her abilities as a worship leader/songwriter and her appreciation for Gospel music in particular developed early in her ministry. "Dan and I were music directors for a church in Orlando, Florida for eight years," says Martha. We had a multi-ethnic congregation and people with musical tastes that ran in a lot of directions including black gospel, both traditional and contemporary. It was a natural fit for that to be a significant part of the music we did. As far as my vocal sound and style goes, I never tried to sing or sound a certain way. I wouldn't even know how to do that. I just always wanted to sing better and to sing from my heart."
