in:ciite media Recording Artist Rachel Chan joins iShine KNECT TV season 4 and the iShine LIVE Fall 2012 Tour. Rachel, the 16-year-old daughter of New York Times Best-Selling Author, Pastor and Speaker Francis Chan, is excited to share her music and ministry with the iShine audience.
 
“Rachel's music and ministry are a perfect fit for iShine and their mission,” said Chris Thomason, president and CEO of in:ciite media. “Rachel is uniquely gifted to speak to this audience and we believe it will be a remarkable experience.”
 
iShine KNECT TV is a Christian series designed for families and preteens to take the time to connect with one another and have fun. Presented from a biblical perspective, iShine KNECT features music videos, live performances, artist interviews, behind-the-scenes segments, question and answer time from viewers and more. To catch Rachel’s upcoming episodes on iShine KNECT Season 4, visit www.ishinelive.com/ishine-knect <http://www.ishinelive.com/ishine-knect>  for updates.
 
The iShine LIVE tour featuring Rachel, along with veteran iShine artists and new faces, is coming to churches this fall. September through October, the 10-city iShine LIVE tour launches the fourth national tour in four years. Cities and dates are forthcoming. Visit www.ishinelive.com/ishine-tour <http://www.ishinelive.com/ishine-tour>  for the latest information.
 
“I’m excited to share my music with everyone on the iShine tour,” said Rachel. “If one of my songs impacts an individual in a positive way and inspires them to spread the name of Jesus Christ, then I’ve accomplished my goal.”
 
Rachel’s debut CD Go released earlier this year by in:ciite media and EMI-CMG Distribution. The songs on Go represent Rachel‘s first foray into the world of songwriting with her seasoned pop-music producer, Dave Lubben (Kutless) and are a unique take on life’s experiences. Rachel co-wrote all 10 songs on the record. The cohesive messages found on Go are simple, yet powerful: to love the Lord, to love people, and to exemplify the Lord’s call to disciple.
 

iShine LIVE!, a unique faith-based concert tour designed specifically for kids under the age of 13 and their families, will head back out on the road this fall, hitting at least 10 cities nationwide in October and November.

"The iShine LIVE! Tour is always something that I look forward to every year,” says Mission Six frontman Noah Hayden. “To get on stage and have a great time with kids just like me, is just always a really awesome time. It's also truly humbling to be able to be a part of leading my generation in worship at the end of every show!"

In addition to featuring popular artists heard on Radio Disney, this year’s event will also integrate characters from the popular Saturday morning TBN series iShine KNECT, with Season 3 premiering in November.

“Over the last few touring seasons, it has been so fulfilling seeing the spiritual impact that iShine LIVE! has on kids at this critical age,” says Robert Beeson, iShine’s founder and Chief Creative Officer. “This year, with our growing television audience, we are excited to start to incorporate TV elements and characters into the live show.”
