For Joni Armel singer / songwriter, meeting Studio 116 producer / engineer / musician Ben Lippard was the right place right time collision of talent.Joni's experince singing with the gospel group Freedom Singers, choirs, musicians and music directors has lead the way for her to venture into the recording of her own lyrics, guitar and vocals. Joni is very excited to share her 6th album.."Sidelined" As the project went on each song was turning out better and better, and by the end, we even had to redo one to make it consistent with the quality of the rest of the them. We explored many different styles while creating this album, with the idea of letting the songs be what they wanted to be.
