"For years, Kira Fontana worked as a successful vocal coach to major labels and shows such as Glee and The Voice. But the longer she spent in the music industry, the more disillusioned she became by the darkness she witnessed all around her.
“ 'It’s darker than most people could ever imagine,” Fontana told The Christian Post. “If you look at the content of the lyrics of the songs that are played on the radio, it’s unbelievably immoral and dark and anti-Jesus. When I started to see the sheer percentage of songs and videos that were leaning heavily in that direction, I came to recognize that it could not be an accident. People in very powerful positions are backing it; there are gatekeepers who are wanting this content that we hear now to be prevalent in our society.”
“ 'It’s akin to poisoning our community, and our kids are drinking from a very, very, very destructive cup,” she said. “I saw the effect on kids as I worked in the city, and that effect is spreading. LA is the communication center for this planet; when you go to other countries, you still see content made in Los Angeles. It became a really heavy responsibility.”
"Though an unbeliever, Fontana felt a strong, invisible pull away from the secular music industry." . . .
“I think the song 'Refuge' will always have a special place in my heart because that's where God started to just redeem everything for me by giving me that song,” she said. “It’s such a declaration of who He is. No matter what's going on around us, if we are abiding in Him, we are safe and secure.”
"Now, Fontana also serves as a Christian music producer and the founder of KINGDOM SOUND, a boutique music production company and record label.
