Shiloh Music

Throughout the Bible, God used unlikely people to do extraordinary works. As modern disciples for Christ, members of the contemporary Christian band, "Shiloh" are perhaps the most of unlikely candidates. Lead Singer, Ashley Dionne spent her childhood singing country music. However, she lost faith in both herself and her voice after the death of her best friend, Karen Engle, also a singer, to a car accident in 2005. "I felt as though I had lost the one person who believed in me and without her, I didn't want to sing anymore. My love for music didn't go away, I just felt an overwhelming sense of guilt for even wanting to sing knowing that she couldn't sing with me anymore. But, after seven years, when I actually wanted to sing again, I had a terrible hold on me; these debilitating nerves that made even the thought of singing where someone could hear me the most terrifying thing ever" she says. But, after rededicating her life to the Lord in 2012, Ashley felt as though God was leading her to use her voice to glorify Him and she submitted to Him the talent that he had given her. "I sing from my heart to the Lord and I know that's what my purpose is now". After song writing and much prayer, God opened the doors that led Shiloh to Mikey Howard, lead singer for Christian rock band, 7eventh Time Down and co-writer of Christian Music's hit song, "Just Say Jesus". Howard recently co-wrote and produced Shiloh's first 3-song EP. The title track "Overcome the World" is based on Ashley's struggle with fear of failure and redemption. "I love that this song has a message that can relate to every single person and their unique struggles. We all face giants, each and every day, but those problems are nothing to Jesus, because he has overcome the world. There are no giants that can stand against Him" Ashley says. With many new ideas for songs and collaborations with other artists in the works, Shiloh is ready for what God has next on the checklist they feel He has made for them. Producer and Mentor, Mikey Howard says that Shiloh is "a powerhouse vocal laced with hope and conviction. Their rock roots mixed with their polished pop choruses are a fresh and welcomed sound!" Most importantly, Shiloh wants to create music that gives God all the glory and that their fans can get lost in. "I can remember exactly where I was when I heard 'Come to Me' by Kari Jobe" says Ashley. "I literally dropped to my knees and was moved to tears by her voice and the power in that song". With that goal in mind, the members of Shiloh want their music to be that which becomes such an important and memorable part of their fans journeys to come to know Christ and submit their lives fully to Him.
