Vlada All About YouA new Christian singer from Switzerland has made his debut in the United States.

 

The singer/songwriter goes by his stage name, Vlada, because most people in America would not be able to pronounce his full name, and he explains more about his heritage and career. "I'm Swiss, but of Serbian descent -- so I'm a soul singer, soul gospel singer from Switzerland," he says.

Vlada was not born into a Christian family. His parents had fled from communist Yugoslavia where Christianity was not on the map, and they began a new life in Switzerland where their son became a believer in God and started praying at age five. It was 16 years later that he learned about Jesus and made a confession of faith, and that faith is where the songs on his album All About You find their basis.

The musical artist reports that his songs "talk about the highs and lows of life. They talk about the walk with God. They talk about looking for God, seeking God...and even though we don't see him he's still there. My faith is really, on that particular album, it's really all over the place," he adds.

Vlada's music is a fusion of soul, funk, gospel, and pop, and he is currently on a concert tour in Switzerland and will visit multiple U.S. locations later this month.
