Destination 7 is a 6 piece band from Los Angeles, CA. D7 have integrated rock, blues,funk, soul, and classical influences into their music, while still creating a unique and fresh sound. With powerhouse vocals, stellar musicianship, catchy hooks, and nostalgic undertones, their 2007 release "Wait For the Sun" appeals to a wide demographic of people, both Christian and secular. Each song on the record is a testimony, and a glimpse into the life of lead singer Natasha Ponticelli; a girl who once called herself an "Atheist of Atheist's". The songs were written over a period of several years, and depict different stages in the journey of a new believer. The powerful title track "Wait for the Sun" was inspired by a friend of Natasha's who ended her own life abruptly in April of 2006. Natasha believes that her own life long battle with depression, coupled with divine intervention and scripture, allowed her to create a song that has already been used by God to save lives. After only 18 months of forming, this band has made a lasting impression on the Los Angeles music scene. D7 were Voted " 2007 Best Christian Artist of the Year"(Los Angeles Music Awards), and have been known to frequent some of the most famous secular nightclubs in Hollywood. One venue in particular has fallen for the bands music and inspiring message. That venue is the World Famous Whisky A Go Go, and the staff at this historical venue have made Destination 7 feel at home. D7 have been asked to headline an all "Christian Rock Show" in summer of '08, and are so excited! Destination 7 is passionate about reaching the lost for Christ. They hope that their music will delight the soul and bring peace to a turbulent world. Their prayer is to always remain dedicated, and focused on their purpose. "God is the reason, music is just the vehicle." ********************************* "People are watching us as we stay at our post, alertly, unswervingly…in hard times, tough times, bad times; when we're beaten up, jailed and mobbed; working hard, working late, working without eating; with pure heart, clear head, steady hand; in gentleness, holiness and honest love; when we're telling the truth, and when God's showing his power; when we're doing our best setting things right; when we're praised, and when we're blamed; slandered, and honored; true to our word, though distrusted; ignored by the world but recognized by God; terrifically alive but rumored to be dead; beaten within an inch of our lives, but refusing to die; immersed in tears, yet always filled with a deep joy; living on handouts yet enriching many; having nothing, having it all.” (2 Cor. 6:4-10)
