Notes"This is our purpose here on this earth - to love and serve God and those around us. If we are doing anything other than this, we are wasting valuable time." - Jaime Thietten Ultimately, the most endearing aspect of Jaime Thietten (pronounced Teet'n) is not so much about what she's accomplished or her powerful soaring vocal abilities, but more about her heart and soul, her exuberant love of life and her passion for the world around her. Raised in Twin Falls, Idaho, the second of three siblings, with a wide-eyed innocence, and vibrant personality, music quickly became her best outlet for self-expression. She started singing at 2, and performing solos publicly by 13. During her high school years, switching from a small private school to a much larger public school, she struggled with self-esteem issues as most teenagers do, but again found hope and solace in her music. She soon discovered that through song, not only could she find meaning for her own life, but also inspire and encourage others. During her last year of high school she found herself wanting to become an EMT, but a teacher approached her and said 'don't forget, I want your first CD when it comes out'. Jaime remembers laughing at that comment, but it got her thinking; and later that year she realized that God had other plans for her. She soon began touring regionally (sharing the stage with Jay Leno, The Gaithers, Michael English, Phillips, Craig & Dean, and Avalon to name a few) and the message "...to Love Along The Way" has propelled her career, music and ministry throughout the 2000s. During her career, now spanning over 12 years, Jaime has established an international touring base from New Zealand to Canada and throughout the United States. She has recorded a total of 5 albums as well as a powerful Music Video/DVD and CD package. Her strong faith has carried her through the highs of having a #2 radio single for her cover of Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me" and the lows of slower times between recordings and concerts. Through it all, Jaime has held to her message: "God's love never fails us and because of that there is hope." Her earnest desire to share that message in a more comprehensive way than ever before became the motivation to head back into the studio and begin work on her 6th album. The final product, Love Along The Way, produced by Shaun Shankel (Natalie Grant, Plumb, For King & Country), brings together a collection of songs that encompass not only her desire to encourage others, but also a look into the heart of a woman who has experienced her share of pain. Jaime's voice pulls the listener into the intimacy of struggle in a way that only one who is acquainted with pain can. Her husband's battle with alcoholism, her parents' divorce after 37 years of marriage and the struggle to conceive a child of her own, are the experiences that Jaime draws on to weave themes of hope, forgiveness and encouragement into every track on the record. From the anthemic balladry of "Chasing Me", one of Jaime's favorite tracks, whose co-write credits include Meredith Andrews and Shankel, to the quiet assurance of "Anxious Heart", the lyrics speak of an enduring hope that often exceeds our human understanding. Shankel describes Jaime as "one of the best vocalists he has ever worked with" and was particularly impressed with her focus and work ethic: "The wonderful thing about Jaime is that she is an incredibly hard worker; she embraces the growth that happens when you're trying new things in the studio and goes and does the work." Her ability to keep things moving helped the recording process move along with ease. Shaun remembers: "Because Jaime is so great at trusting in the team around her to do their job, we had been able to establish a wonderful level of trust early on in the recording process. It was because of that trust we had such synergy and the songs flowed out of us so effortlessly." "It's A Good Day", the lead single off the album is a happy, acous
