ZOEgirl Says Goodbye

Steady touring paired with strong radio play and landmark sales surrounded their sophomore release, ‘LIFE,’ which climbed to #2 on Billboard Heatseeker’s Chart and lingered in the top 3 for 5 weeks. In 2002, the popular threesome accepted the award for GMA New Artist Of The Year and continued to rack up sales and noticeable airplay with subsequent releases, Mix Of Life, late in 2002, and Different Kind Of Free, in the fall of 2003.

A career filled with prime opening slots on tours with Avalon, Clay Crosse, Plus One, Newsboys and Carman and co-bills with Jump5, iWorship and SHOUTfest fueled the flame, firming up an already strong fan base and boosting media attention for the group. Headlining tours like their FREE Experience Tour drew fans in by the thousands each night and featured ZOEgirl and their guests Superchi(k), Joy Williams and speaker Susie Shellenberger of BRIO Magazine. Two ASCAP Top Airplay awards and significant radio airplay on Radio Disney with “Feel Alright” (Different Kind Of Free) were added to ZOEgirl’s growing list of accomplishments. The song was also featured in Walt Disney’s motion picture ‘Confessions Of A Teenage Drama Queen’ starring Lindsay Lohan.

Room To Breathe released and soared to #1 on Billboard Heatseeker’s Chart in March of 2005 and the group’s most recent record, With All Of My Heart recapped hits and favorites, capturing songs specifically requested by their active fan base.

Over the past six years of ministry, the success of ZOEgirl’s musical career has expanded their platform, allowing them to initiate annual summer missions to South America and those ministry efforts will continue. The group, partnering with Big World Ventures, remains committed to inviting teens to join them on a trip to South America each summer where the group performs concerts and dramas and works in orphanages, schools and areas where housing is unstable. “Each year, seeing ZOEgirl light up and selflessly lead teams on summer mission trips, its clear that they are passionate about serving and sharing the love of Jesus to people around the world. Beyond the music, their lives are truly about radical obedience to Gods call on their lives,” explains Caleb David, Director of Strategic Relations, Big World Ventures.
