SHORT BIO

​

Gissela is a multi-lingual Christian artist, worship leader, choir director (Kids in Tune), and producer who finds that the only way to experience a glimpse of God’s greatness is through worship. 

 

Born and raised in Brazil, she enjoyed her school and teenage years singing in various groups and choirs and touring all over South America, accumulating thousands of hours performing as well as recording with some of the best singers and producers in Brazil. She also recorded programs for radio Novo Tempo and loved that. 

 

In 2019, Gissela released her first solo EP, titled “Reckless Grace,” which is an amazing compilation of God’s grace and hope for us delivered through beautiful and inspirational music.  

 

A year later, she released her sophomore album, “Introspections,” a nostalgic hymn project recorded during the world pandemic featuring special guests and timeless melodies.

 

In 2022, Gissela released a series of singles and an EP titled “From Where I'm Standing,” which she co-wrote with Grammy-winning producer, Chad Carlson. She shares with us the inspiration behind these songs: “Sometimes we forget to give credit to the One who is keeping us standing! You see, it’s not through our own efforts; it is not through our own merit. The only reason we worship from a place of victory, or get to worship at all, is because of the mercy and love of Christ for us shown on the cross. He calls us to lean on Him, trust in Him, and let Him fight the battles for us.”

 

In 2023, Gissela released the first single of the series Soundtracks of My Life, “Em Teus Braços” featuring Crystal Lewis. She is excited about this project and all the amazing songs and features it will bring. In November of 2023, she also earned her Master’s degree in Worship and Leadership from Trevecca University and has been asked back to Trevecca as a guest speaker. 

 

In 2024, Gissela will be launching her songs in her mother tongue, Portuguese, and shares, "I cannot wait to share these songs that the Brazilian audience already loves, but now in our language and with beautiful collaborations." The plan is to also release an EP in Spanish and reach even more souls around the world with a strong message of hope. 

 

Gissela is heavily involved in her local church with elementary and middle school ministries. She is a busy wife to Mark and mom to Kylie, London, and Charli happily living in Nashville, TN.
