The SheHH podcast is a podcast series all about Christian women in the front and behind the scenes of Christian music all over the world. The name is a play on the phrase CHH, which stands for Christian Hip Hop, but SheHH is for all genres (and all women!) within Christian music.
Welcome to Series two, which is themed the Gritty Truths. We're speaking to amazing women and learning more about the realities of being called into music ministry, especially as a woman.
In this episode of the pod, Paula speaks to Danielle Apicella. A young singer-songwriter from New York signed to Derek Minor and Doc Watson's Reflection Music Group (RMG) Christian music label. It was such a blessing to hear Danielle's passion and love of what she does!
