We had the good fortune of connecting with Erica (SHABACH) Charleston and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Erica (SHABACH), alright, let’s jump in with a deep one – what’s you’re definition for success?
Success is when your name is written in the lamb’s book of life. Success is also defined by the treasures that are stored away in heavenly places where no moths or thieves can steal. Where ever your treasure is there the desires of your heart will also be. When we delight are selfs in God. He gives us the desires of our heart. I want what God wants for me and honestly that is success. There is no other success that is greater or could match what’s stored away in heavenly places. When you understand the depths of what was just spoken then you will master success.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I started singing at the age 6. I also went to a performing arts school from 6th to 12th grade. I moved to GA during 2020 and I knew I wanted to have my own label and do acting. However when I began my journey with christ I was a sinner. I wanted to do music for all the wrong reasons. I also did not understand the depths of music influencing a generation. As I turned to christ I actually let go of music. The music that I had put out was not pleasing to christ or a generation. I actually took a long break and started working with children and just building a strong foundation with christ. The children actually taught me so many things. I saw how music really impacts a generation. I honestly thought my music days were over. I made a decision to just live for christ and to really set my eyes and values on what he wanted me to do while I’m here. As Jesus begin to clean me inside and out worship became dear to me. I love being in the presence of God I would have it no other way. As old habits fell off, he begin to make a new path for me. He gave me pure desires, new skills, new joy, a new me. He gave me a new identity changed my name and then he gave me music back. I actually went to a Christian Creative Camp called camp grace. I did not know how I was going to pay to go and I prayed lord if this is what you want me to do please provide for me to go. A unexpected 100.00 came into my account and I was able to go. God made sure EVERYTHING was paid for in full including every item I needed. I learned a lot a camp and even so God let me know that we are partners in this to bring him glory. I don’t do music for money I do it because I’m partners with the father to bring him great glory!! God put all the pieces together at camp I met a pastor there named Danny. He invited me to Bible and beats where we have Bible study and then go into the studio and create. God literally put everything together like a puzzle piece in order for me to worship freely and in a safe place to record! I think what sets me apart from many is simple many are called but “few” are chosen. I believe I have been appointed, anointed, for such a time as this and I’m excited about what God is doing !!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my bestfriend was visiting the area and I wanted to show them the best time I would take them to 2819 church. We would eat at the Jerusalem Bakery. I would then stroll around the botanical garden. Then take a hike up stone mountain. Lastly bring them in the studio while creating. The fact is jesus is my bestfriend so he goes every where I go.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
God deserves all the credit in my story. He was there in the beginning, middle, on the mountain, in the valley, and he still here now. There was many points in my life where man failed me but God did not. He stood ten toes down for me and provided everything I needed. Jesus was my help. I love how everyone who said no and every rejection can not take credit for what only God could do. God orchestrated my entire life. He reedemed me and made someone brand new. He molded me with trials and tribulations. He sent along people who were destined to be along my path. He put me in divine community. Some of those communities were Middle Ridge Elementary, Mercy Retreat in St.Louis, Bible & Beats with pastor Danny, Camp Grace/Frontier with Ryan and Chasity.
