  1. Hello,
    I’ve listened to WJIA many times while in Guntersville and really admire how welcoming and indie-friendly the station feels! It’s encouraging to hear a place where independent Christian music is valued.It’s been encouraging to hear a station that truly makes space for artists at different stages.
    My name is AK Elliott. I’m a Christian Americana / folk artist born and raised in Alabama and now based in Nashville.
    I recently released my debut single, “Because He Loves Me,” and would be honored for you to take a listen and share any thoughts or wisdom.
    You can listen here: https://soundcloud.com/ak-elliott/because-he-loves-me-radio/s-IzFolsxQNY7?si=931ddd498c344ebd91b4d5a329ad8f01&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing
    Thank you for all you do to support independent Christian artists.
    Kind regards,
    AK Elliott
