Carolyn Pankalla Joins Infinity Music Distribution & prepares for debut solo album release.

Debut CD Broken into Beautiful to release nationwide October 2007

Infinity Music Distribution will release the debut solo project from singer/songwriter Carolyn Pankella. Available in stores nationwide October 2007, Broken into Beautiful is a testimony of Carolyn's own faith, filled with deep sorrow but renewed joy. It showcases Carolyn's unwavering faith in God which has allowed her to persevere through personal tragedies.

Singing from the time she could walk, Carolyn is no stranger to the music industry. She's also no stranger to mountain-top triumphs and wilderness struggles in her life. At the age of six, Carolyn and her traveling music ministry family (The Goad's) were in a car accident that severely injured Carolyn and killed her mother. A few years later, her father was killed in a house fire. Out of these tragedies Goad International Ministries, which was started by Carolyn's parents, continued and prospered through the outreach of the Goad children. Goad International ministries reached nations of people with music and charitable giving for over 25 years.

Manager Todd White shares his excitement for the upcoming project and partnership with Infinity Music Distribution, "We're glad to be working with Infinity on the release of Carolyn's project. Her producer and I have been encouraging Carolyn to release her own project for several years, and it's definitely been worth the wait. Infinity's artist-friendly way of doing things is allowing us the flexibility to reach the masses including Carolyn's close fan base she has connected with over the last 20 years."

"Broken into Beautiful is a fresh beginning to sing what's on my heart," Carolyn says. "It's definitely fun, compassionate and inspirational, yet heartfelt and relatable. It's the story of my life." Produced by Jim Cooper (Building 429, Sonicflood, Petra, Decypher Down), Broken into Beautiful is a record full of deep, radio-friendly songs of the human experience that nourish the soul. Compared to artists like Natalie Grant and Nicole Nordeman, Carolyn's voice is a source of inspiration and encouragement. Each song on Broken into Beautiful showcases Carolyn's heart and carries her sincere message and desire for people to find true hope.

Carolyn is embarking on her own solo music career, but personally she remains committed to helping those in need. Carolyn has continued the legacy of her parents by reaching out to those in need, providing much-needed help to Zambia, Africa, delivering food and constructing a rescue crisis center. She is also the author of eight children's books and is currently busy developing a television show for women, covering relevant topics impacting today's women. "As long as I am living, I'm going to help those who are hurting," Carolyn says.
