Artist Bio >> Back

Joni is a Christian rock singer/songwriter, who also loves to draw. She is thankful for the talents God has blessed her with and wants to share them.

Joni's been singing since she could talk, according to her mom, and drawing about as long. Of course starting with the childhood doodles, then at age 10, she won Best All Around at an art contest at her school. At age 12, she took 3 mos. of painting lessons from JoAnn Hudson, and painted several pictures which are framed and gracing the walls of her mother's home.

For the next several years, Joni was caught up in being a teenager and drawing and singing, took a backseat.

Then came marriage and children. Your can read what has been going on in her singing career on her official music site www.ShoutLife.com/joniatkins and www.Myspace.com/joniatkins. Recently though, a spark of passion for art was reignited when she saw the artwork of a wonderful new friend, Desi Metcalf, that she met while singing at PRAISEFEST 2007 in Ohio. Now Joni is drawing and painting constantly, while not singing, and loving both gifts God has blessed her with. Joni says she is SO thankful for the gifts God has seen fit to bless her with and it is her honor to give Him glory by sharing them others to hopefully, draw them closer, and put the spotlight on Him!!!
