I sing for wedding ceremonies & receptions, funerals, churches, and more. I love being apart of special events like weddings, to help make them memorable. And, to bring comfort to families during hard times like funerals. I am a Christian/Gospel solo singer with a passion to spread Gods love through music. I can sing Christian/Gospel, country, pop ballads/love songs, hymns such as Amazing grace, and many other styles. I also can share my original music and testimony for churches, youth events, T.V. Programs, festivals, women's conferences, and more. If you’d like to inquire about my services, please write me a message with info about your event, and I’ll respond as soon as I can!
Athena sang for a one of a kind event with ease. Show wowed the audience with her talent and vocal range. She was punctual and flexible. Overall, she was one of the best hires I have made.
Response from Athena Sorensen:
Thank you Jack! It was an honor to sing and the whole event was AMAZING!!
Athena sang beautifully at both my mother’s memorial service and graveside service. She led out in singing hymns and Hawaii Aloha and also sung a special song she wrote, Forever. At the graveside service she sang Amazing Grace and Give me Jesus. Our family and friends were touched and blessed by her lovely voice and highly recommend her.
Response from Athena Sorensen:
Thank you Lynda! It was an honor to sing for your mother’s funeral. Many blessings to you!
Can’t believe how beautiful and seamless Athena’s performance for my wedding was!!! We communicated completely through GigSalad as I was planning a destination wedding from New York. She was extremely responsive and once my wedding coordinator took over everything went seamlessly. Thank you so much, and what a beautiful voice!!!!
Response from Athena Sorensen:
Thank you Michelle for letting me be apart of your wedding! It was very elegant and heartfelt. I especially enjoyed the vows. I am honored to have been a part of your glorious day. Many blessing to you and your husband!
Aloha,
Athena
I am very satisfied with her performance and I Highly recommend Athena!!!
Being that service was a Celebration of Life (Christian) and Mother being of 2nd generation Isei Japanese, a lot of attendees for Funeral service were of the Buddhists beliefs. Athena's singing, crossed that bridge and had many commenting on songs sung and the quality of her performance!
Response from Athena Sorensen:
Thank you Brian,
It was a beautiful service, and I am honored that I was able to be a part of it. Many well wishes to your family.
Aloha,
Athena

I am a soloist, so when I sing for an event, it's me and my microphone on stage. I speak to the audience briefly between each song to introduce the song. If I am asked to share my Testimony, I will do that, and show pictures on a screen behind me during my testimony. I have experience walking through the audience while singing if requested by the venue.
I like to take my audience on a journey with me through music as I tell a story. I sing original songs I have written as well as old spirituals and hymns. I cater my music to the event. Wether it's youth, elderly, or middle aged, I have music that can touch all ages.
