"When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?" - Psalms 68:25
A native of Covington Louisiana, a metro city outside of New Orleans, Alana Sanders is the daughter of the Late, Rev. Leon & Shirley Sanders, former school teachers in the St. Tammany Parish School Board System. Alana began singing at the age of three (3) and was a member of the African Methodist Episcopal church where her father was a minister. Because her father was a music teacher she inherited his gift to where she was taught piano and voice under his direction and later received instructions under some notable teachers. While in grammar school she received much honors for her vocal performance that she was asked to perform at many events, participated in competitions where she has won over 25 beauty and scholarship pageants and always winning the talent portion of the competition. Alana received the honor of being selected for the District IX Honor Chorus and was the soloist her first year. During her last year of high school she received numerous scholarship opportunities from various universities and selected the World Renowned Grambling State University Choir singing under the direction of Dr. Cheryl D. Clancy.
Once Alana finished her undergraduate degree she the moved to Atlanta, GA and while working within her career she sung background for a few artist and began writing and arranging music. She entered a few talent competitions in the area and won but she was not satisfied with singing secular music when she was raised in a house loving the Lord. Alana then started recording her music, where she has worked with the talent producer Karl Antoine, whom has produced many celebrities' albums; this was his first contemporary gospel project. Mr. Antoine worked wonders on her debut Album, "I'm Thankful", that her song "I'm Thinking" is a highly requested demo. "Thinking" talks about how she was reared by Godly feared parents instilling in her the instructions from God. Even though she received the teachings about the heavenly father, she made choices that were not of Him and had to learn from her mistakes and disobedience to the Father.
Alana has been working diligently serving the Master(God), making sure that her ministry is heard and that people are touched by the words of the Lord. Alana is not afraid to reveal her trials and tribulations within her songs to where her testimony can help save lives while bringing her listeners closer to God.
Alana's soulful voice has be compared to the likes of Aretha Franklin, Mavis Staples and many others that have paved the way for Gospel and R&B artist. She has also graced the same stages with many greats in the industry and has held down many audiences, bringing them closer to God.
Alana currently holds a Masters in Business Administration (MBA) and works as a College Professor teaching the arts of Entrepreneurship and Marketing/Advertising. She is also studying to receive her PhD in Leadership and Organizational Change.
