ALISA CHILDERS LEAVING ZOEGIRL AFTER SEVEN YEARS

August 2, 2006 (NASHVILLE, TN)--After seven years as part of the highly-successful ZOEgirl,  Alisa Childers is leaving the group at the end of 2006 to pursue her career as a solo artist.

ZOEgirl exploded on the scene in 2000, becoming the fastest-selling debut artist in the 26-year history of Sparrow Records.  Since their inception, ZOEgirl has sold over one million records worldwide.

"I have had such a great time with Kristin and Chrissy pursuing the call of God on ZOEgirl and I will treasure all those memories forever," says Childers.  "However, it's become evident to me that God is leading me to focus more on other songs I have written over the years and to give them a voice.

"I will forever be grateful to Norman Miller and Peter York who put ZOEgirl together and were the first ones in the industry to believe in me and give me a chance," Childers added.
