Other songs include“ Me” co-written with Plumb for her lullabies album,“ Bring It All Together,” co-written with writer / producer Shaun Shankel and“ Our Hope Endures,” co-written and recorded by Natalie Grant( an upcoming single from the album Relentless).
In addition to writing for signed artists, Christa and her sister, Mandy Rogers, independently released a full-length album of original music in 2006 entitled“ A Rogers / Wells Project: so much to tell you.” The project, which includes Christa’ s recorded version of“ Held,” has opened doors for the sisters to perform their own music and share the stories behind the songs. In the last two years, they have performed together and individually in several states, as well as other venues such as Studio B television broadcast and a sold-out round at the infamous Bluebird Café in Nashville, Tennessee.
In 2007, Christa was involved with an effort to raise funds to benefit military families through AFF( Armed Forces Foundation). Her song“ Before the Tree Comes Down”, a tender tribute to our servicemen and women and their families, spawned the idea for Hope Christmas Ball in Raleigh, North Carolina, and to contribute to the cause, Christa produced a Christmas EP to be given to donors of the event. Lisa McClowry, Chicago-based singer and songwriter, also recorded“ Before the Tree Comes Down” and released it worldwide online, with proceeds donated to AFF.
At this time, Christa lives with her family in North Carolina, writing and sharing her music locally, as well as traveling to Nashville periodically to write and record. She is also committed to ongoing work with Masterpiece Ministries based out of Lebanon, Tennessee--whose mission is to provide summer camps for young artists, encouraging them toward excellence and Christ-centered living.
