Lydia Ingegneri Live Album Recording

Hi, my name is Lydia Ingegneri and I am a Pacific Northwest-born, Norwegian-raised, Nashville-based singer, songwriter and worship leader! My awesome husband Scott is not only my life partner, but my partner in ministry. Together we have pastored churches, launched ministries, and traveled the world spreading the gospel through teaching, preaching, healing and prophetic ministry, leadership development and worship leading. We have four incredible kids that ministry alongside us, which is one my greatest joys in life. Here is a little history about me and the WHY behind this album campaign!  Album rewards are listed below. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MY STORY

 

I was born into a pastoral and ministry family. My parents were worship leaders and musicians, and I am grateful to have been born into a musical household. My mom says I was born singing! I have her to thank because my life was at risk before I was even born. I am a twin and my twin died in utero. The doctors told my parents to abort me. My parent’s refused and my fiery Norwegian mom began to prophecy that I would live and not die, and that I would be a worshiper and a singer. My mom sang, worshipped, and declared life over me every day until I was born. Her prophecy came true, and she had to live with the great joy (and sometimes annoyance) of a little girl who constantly sang. I am now living that with my precious twin daughters. God is a redeeming God!

 

Because of my Christian and musical upbringing, I discovered a passion for worship early in life. Thankfully I was exposed to great musicianship and vocals and my parents fostered my gift by giving me opportunity early to use my gifts.

 

In my teens is when I really began to fall in love with worship and leading others in worship. I just couldn’t get enough! I had amazing mentors who took me under their wing in my teens and early 20’s. I married Scott in 2003 at the age of 21 and became a worship pastor the same year. It’s been an incredible journey and I have been so blessed to lead worship all over the world.

 

In 2017 my husband and I resigned from the church we planted and pastored in Phoenix, Arizona to launch a ministry called Awaken Ministries. We have poured into thousands through leadership development/health, worship leading, preaching, teaching, coaching, mentoring, and personal pastoral ministry. It has been an amazing journey!

 

 

 

 

MY MUSICAL JOURNEY

 

I’ve been writing songs since my early 20’s and was constantly asked “when are you going to record an album?” It wasn’t that I didn’t want to, but I knew it had to be the right time and done the right way. It wasn’t until my mid-30’s that I was given that opportunity from the Lord. Back in 2014 and through a series of miraculous events, God opened some incredible doors for Scott and I to travel back and forth to Nashville for several years to song write with the best of the best in the Christian music industry. The songs for my first album were birthed from those songwriting trips and that really is what propelled me forward in songwriting and grew me as an artist.

 

It’s been six years since I recorded my first album, You Are with Us (2016). I recorded in Phoenix, AZ at the church my husband and I had planted and were pastoring at the time. It was an incredibly powerful and surreal experience to live out that journey and share the experience with my church family. I will never forget it because it was a HUGE leap of faith financially and practically. To this day I still receive testimonies of how the songs minister to people. It is humbling. The album did well and was within the top 20 on the charts when it was released and has had global impact.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

VISION FOR THE UPCOMING ALBUM

 

I have spent a lot of time songwriting, growing in my understanding of recording, and have continued to build incredible relationships with not only gifted, but truly anointed writers, musicians, vocalists, and producers. There is also the deepening of my faith and a strengthening of my giftings as I have walked through some transformative seasons with the Lord the past 5 years. I believe the depth of what God has done in me and is continuing to do will make this album recording even more impactful.

 

Scott and I have many songs we’ve written that have never been recorded plus I am currently intentionally writing for this album with some of the most amazing Christian songwriters out there.

 

The questions have started to come up again, “when are you going to record another album?” And the answer is…as soon as possible! I have released 4 singles in the last several years, but now is the time to release another full-length live worship album. I love what you can create in the studio but at the heart I am a worshipper and a worship leader. I love studio moments and there is a beauty that can be created in the studio but there is nothing like hundreds of voices worshipping together.

 

THE ASK AND THE PLAN FOR THE UPCOMING ALBUM

 

The plan is to raise $50,000 with the help of financial donors.  This will allow us to produce and capture with high quality audio and video an amazing night of worship. This powerful night will be recorded in Olympia, WA. Washington is my home state and has special meaning to me. It is where I was born and raised. I have deep relationships in Washington and have experienced transformative seasons of life and ministry there that have formed me into who I am today. Church of Living Water in Olympia is a church that I have partnered with in ministry many times and has had a deep impact on me since I was a young woman. I couldn’t be more excited to have this album hosted by and recorded in a house that is so special to me. It will also be a wonderful blessing to include my Washington friends and family.

 

I am incredibly blessed by the team I am surrounded with. My husband Scott is the Executive Producer and project manager for my album. He is also co-writer on many songs. My eldest son Dominic is my production manager and creative director, and my other children and family support me in profound ways! My amazing producer, Ron Rawls, is Grammy Winning producer and highly respected musician and band director. He is a gift to me because of his pastoral heart and incredible skill. I have a world class team of musicians, vocalists, producers, and writers. They are truly the dream team and are true worshippers at heart!

 

I am launching Gofundme with $25,000 as it is the minimum amount needed to get things in motion for the June recording. I need this first half by mid March. This first 30 days is critical in funding and timing for the recording. I believe that with the amazing support of friends and family this can be done! What will $50,000 cover? It is rare for independent artists to have the strength of support that I do. But as an independent artist, I am responsible for 100% of my funding. The amount of $50,000 will cover my band, design and marketing, video and productions teams, AVL equipment rentals, and finally, the mixing, mastering and distribution of the album.

 

To put it simply, I believe I am carrying something that needs to be released and heard, but it costs real dollars to produce things well. Of course, more funds give room to add other elements and marketing that will enhance the experience and reach. Every dollar counts! If you have $50 or have $10,000 to donate it all helps.

 

It is a humbling process for me to ask but I feel a fire in my belly that the time is now! I am humbled by the support I have received and don’t take it likely that you would partner with me. I love you all and look forward to a celebration of God’s faithfulness and your partnership!
