My name is Ryan Benham. I am the Art Manager of a Christian Recording Artist named  MARIA LONG.  

Maria is a Pastors wife and feels the call from the Lord to share the word with others through her music. She is up front about what she believes and will share with anyone who asks. Her lyrics are personal and vulnerable about her experiences and struggles with God. They are clear because Maria never wants people to be mistaken about where she stands. “Christ is everything to me!” she states. She views her music ministry as more than just an opportunity to perform the songs that God has given her. She believes that God has given her these musical talents to speak out on issues that are affecting teens today like: suicide, sex, drugs, and lack of purpose. Through powerful testimonies and sharing the stories behind her songs, Maria gives her audience a meaningful experience that they can all relate with, and challenges them to STANDOUT for God.
 

I hope members of Sandals can help suport Maria Long and I spread the word of here music and ministry.
