Q: Blessings Apostle! It is always good to
speak with you.
A: Hugs all around and blessings to you!
Q: I’ve been watching your Facebook account
( http://www.facebook.com/RebeccaMichael. Music ) – it is abuzz with news about your new
musical albums. Tell us a little about them!
A: I wrote 3 CD Albums and they are now
published! I also started a publishing record
label, registered as a member of SOCAN and
ASCAP under my name (Apostle Dr. Rebecca
Michael). I recently started Phoenix Horizons
Records, where I will write, produce, and publish
my own music and music of other “Indie”
musicians. I am combining all of this with our
PACM Inc. Non-Profi t Ministries and waiting
to see where the Lord leads us!
Q: Wow, it sounds like you are very busy!
A: Producing and writing music is fun work to
do!
Q: Tell us about your albums.
A: Th e fi rst CD is called, Walk Th en Run. It is
blues rock style; love blues rock! Th e next two
are rock Christian contemporary. Th e second
is called Agape Love, with a strong marriage
theme. Th e last one is called Rose of Sharon,
where I wrote and sang harmonies to the entire
book, the Song of Solomon. I also incorporated
some other Scriptures (such as 1 Corinthians
13) and my own songs.
10% of all of our proceeds will automatically go
back in to our Ministries, and 10% of any proceeds
from our own Ministries automatically
go back in to our Spiritual father, Apostle Dr.
Herman Bouwer.
Th e albums are going up the charts, especially
the fi rst released CD. I was interviewed as a
Canadian Songwriter for blues, rock, gospel
and a music Producer with SOCAN / ASCAP
recently by CBC Radio-Canada- the interview
can be found in the articles posted at my facebook
music fan page. My music and teaching
videos are also being featured for the ‘Hey Cover
Girl’ 8 part series as well at the viswikipedia
site for Chatelaine magazine as a former Cover
Girl for them- 30 yrs. Later I am back with
these Ministries and they have posted my videos-
also my work as a music Producer with
Bill Clint- another upcoming Canadian Songwriter
who is recently signed and produced
with our record label called Phoenix Horizons
Records. I am being asked to radio airplay in
Ghana, Africa and places in the Caribbean.
Basically, in a nutshell- I am President of two
organizations to do with creating, producing
and publishing Christian teaching media at
our NPO started in 2006 called PACM Inc.
and blues, rock, gospel and folk genres music
so far with our Record company called Phoenix
Horizons Records started in 2009.
Q: What is your most popular song?
A: My most popular songs are from the
fi rst ‘Walk then Run’ CD Release, 2009-
especially the lively upbeat songs like
‘Movin to the Island’, ‘He Says, She Says’
and ‘Tribal blues for Africa’- the last two
songs are what attracted CBC Radio-
Canada to interview me as I mentioned
and the other songs that are increasingly
popular is the Song of Solomon songsespecially
‘Return of the King’ from the
Rose of Sharon CD, 2009, where I sing
the entire bible book of the Song of Solomon
in choral harmonies to a driving contemporary
studio beat mix. I did this to
encourage and facilitate bible chapter and
verse memorization.
Q: What is your favorite song that you’ve
written, and why?
A: My favourite song that I have written is
probably ‘Dark Night of the Soul’ which
is a spontaneously written prayer of the
process of the Cross in my own life- death
/ resurrection life that happens for all believers
over our lifetimes. Without our
Lord Jesus Christ- we would eventually all
experience this soul death part with no rebirth
/ resurrection process to accompany
it- which is the life of the fool. With the
Lord- we will lose- we will suff er losses,
grief and deaths- but we will be raised in
glory- beauty for ashes, joy for mourning,
eternal life of the soul for death- eventually
this will result also in physical resurrection
of our very bodies.
Stay tuned next time for the second installation
of this interview and more from Apostle
Dr. Rebecca!
