Joann Rosario is BACK making music!!

Recently during an interview with @sirneiko, gospel legend Joann Rosario revealed she’s making a comeback to the gospel music world after a break.

Rosario was born in Chicago to parents of Puerto Rican background. Her father is a pastor and she sang in his church as a child. Under her father’s ministry, she recorded several live Spanish language worship albums and is known for introducing the gospel vocal sound to the Spanish Christian market.

The artist began her professional career in 1997 as a background singer for Marvin Sapp, then left in 1999 to be a member of Fred Hammond’s Radical for Christ. Hammond helped her launch a solo career in 2001 with her Spring 2002 debut album More, More, More.

In 2003, Rosario was diagnosed with nodules on her vocal folds, and took an extended hiatus to treat the condition. She released a follow-up effort in 2005 and a third in 2007.

Now she’s releasing new music for the first time in twenty years and revealed to Nieko during an interview on his show, The Neiko Flow Show, that she's making a come back, but didn't think she would when she first left the industry, saying: "If I’m being completely honest, the thought process at the time was that I was never coming back to music—not because I didn’t want to, but because of everything that had happened in my life.”

She went on to say how she's been in a 20 year wilderness that God wanted for her, but now she's ready to come out at 51: “When God opened the door, He didn’t just nudge it open, He blew it wide open. And out of that open door came the music and message of ‘Still on the Throne.’”

Joann's new song Still On The Throne' is out now and avaliable to stream on all platforms.
