LOS ANGELES, Jan. 24, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- Roque (photo) is a petite powerhouse with a big voice about to make some noise for the kingdom of Heaven. Pronounced Rock-Key, He is my "Rock," He is my "Key" this soulful singer/songwriter is poised to take the gospel music industry by storm with her debut album L.F.C. LOUD FOR CHRIST. Roque sings from the heart about faith, love and the power of praise with an angelic vocal style that will uplift and captivate the listener. Produced by renowned composer Steve "Big City" Wimberly, L.F.C. LOUD FOR CHRIST is a powerful collection of songs that extols the unconditional love of God. Her first single "Thank You" will be released tomorrow January 25, 2011.
Although Roque is an emerging gospel singer, she is no stranger to the spotlight. As a former Mouseketeer, this singer/songwriter/actress was the first African-American female to join the cast of the popular show. With 95 episodes to her credit, she holds her own among the elite list of superstar alumni, such as Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake. Roque is winner of the titles "Best Teen Vocalist" and "Best Teen Performer," where she nearly clean swept the competition on Ed McMahon's Star Search.
From music to television to stage and film, performing is at the core of Roque's heart. She began singing professionally at the tender age of seven, wowing audiences with such songs as Natalie Cole's "Our Love" and Barbara Streisand's "Memories." She was often asked to perform at local and government events, often bringing the crowd to their feet with a rendition of Jennifer Holiday's "And I Am Telling You." As her career blossomed, so did the richness of her voice and the strength of her stage presence.
"This was such a pure time in my life," Roque recalls with a smile. "Performing brought me so much joy and inspired so many people without me even knowing it at the time."
Although the Miami native was a shining star in the entertainment industry, she felt a great desire to let her light shine as a gospel singer. L.F.C. LOUD FOR CHRIST reveals Roque's versatility as well as her love for writing and true musicianship. Praising the Lord for his uncompromising goodness is the centerpiece of her debut release, "Thank You."
"When people listen to 'Thank You,' I want them to truly understand how much God has done for each of us. His love is so great; it makes us conquerors and makes us free," she says. "I was inspired to write this song while reflecting on God's unchanging word, his promises, and the amazing love he has shown me."
With encouraging scriptural affirmations, L.F.C. LOUD FOR CHRIST sends a message loud and clear about the transformative power of God's love in a troubled world. "Thank You" is available for free download on her website MyRoque.com for a limited time, beginning tomorrow January 25, 2011. Listen, and be transformed.
