About Echad

Echad was formed from a unique song-writing partnership between guitarist, Mark Houde and vocalist, Marni Esposito that began when they led the worship team for their congregation, Simchat Yisrael.

Through much prayer and reflection on this new path G-d was leading them on, they formed the group Echad to pursue G-d's calling. With their original Messianic music they set out to win praise for the L-rd and reach the hearts of all of G-d's people.

Their music is diverse for a large listening audience as it's often used for personal meditation, worship service, as well as general listening for pure enjoyment. The L'Chaim album differs in that it's a concept album which takes the listener through the stages of life from one song to the next.

Our Prayer For You

(in our words)

Music is a depository for prayer in the mind and heart of His creation. It is banked and safeguarded; stored and then retrieved. used for a time when a message from the heart is expressed through the lyrics as thought and the melody as emotion.

As we composed our original music we heard the voice of the L-rd in a way that was deep and personal, reinforcing G-d’s intimate relationship with each of us.

We see this as a reciprocal process- G-d gives life to us, His creation, and we submit our lives and all the works of our hands back to Him.

Our prayer is that you will be blessed by this music and allow G-d to touch you in a way that will elevate your praise to the heavenlies, filling the ears of Hashem with the adoration from His creation.
