Ingrid Rosario Biography
Those who have heard a song interpreted by Ingrid Rosario, realize that behind her powerful voice lies an unfolding divine plan of God. Blessed with one of the music industrys greatest voices, Ingrid has crossed all stylistic, social and age barriers with her inspirational delivery and powerful music.
At the age of 15, Ingrid invites Jesus Christ as her personal Savior upon her arrival to Miami, Florida in 1988 from Los Angeles, California. Ever since this life changing decision, Ingrids life has never been the same. Soon, she discovered her singing ability as she volunteered in her church youth choir. Eventually, this launches Ingrids music ministry.
From 1994 through 1998, Ingrid pursued her undergraduate degree in Health Education, Preventive Health Care at Liberty University in Lynchburg Virginia. She was granted a scholarship due to her involvement in Light Ministries, the missions arm at Liberty University. As a part of this eminent group, she traveled to several countries such as the Philippines, England and India. The opportunity knocked on her door when Integrity Music asked her to record along with Ron Kenoly (Majesty, 1997) at Liberty University. After that she received numerous calls to be with "Women of Faith" (1998 and 1999) and Benny Hinn's Evangelistic Crusades throughout Ecuador, Colombia, Spain, El Salvador, Guatemala, Argentina, Chile, Honduras and Panama. This went on without having an album to her name until the opportunity presented itself to record Canta al Senor (shout to the Lord in Spanish) This project continued to be a success as it was to Darlene Zschech to Ingrid Rosario. Mercado Cristiano, a prestigious Spanish magazine, awarded Ingrid Rosario Revelation of the Year artist in Expolit Miami 2001.
