 Artist BIO
With her music being featured on the global EWTN network, and 3 CD's and a music video reaching finalist status in 2002 and 2005 United Catholic Music & Video Association (UCMVA) Unity Awards, Beryl feels blessed that her music is internationally distributed and recognized. She also feels proud that "America, God's Country" - from her "Amazing Graces" CD, composed by her father - represented America's Independence Day in Ireland last year.

Beryl's personal music ministry evolved from that group ministry, and she regularly sings for weddings, funerals, baptisms, and other church events. She and Juan share vocals, and he is her "official" percussionist. Their music reflects a lifetime of love and praising God. Juan was a first responder during Hurricane Katrina and is still actively engaged in a law enforcement career in New Orleans, commuting daily from Baton Rouge, LA.
