- About Me
- There is something beautiful about two souls connected through music. For Richie Fike (Fike - as dubbed by his friends) & Dana, it was like a hand in a glove - a match made in heaven. They married in the summer of 1999, and quickly began writing and performing in the band "FaceDown", which gave them the opportunity to tour with Shane & Shane & Robbie Seay, among others. They traveled throughout much of the south, performing concerts and leading worship.
During those years of touring, Fike felt called to pursue a life of local church ministry. God impressed upon his heart the value of the local Church, and the impact he could have on a family of believers through song-writing, leading worship, and developing relationships.
In 2002, the Fikes moved to Colorado Springs to join the ministry of Vanguard Church. It was there that they were inspired to write worship songs for their church, resulting in their first two independent worship CDs, “In & Out of Season” and “The Morning is Come” produced by their partner & contributing musician, Sean Mulholland.
Fike, Dana, & Sean were blessed to attend the GMA's Music in the Rockies 2008 event, where they submitted 4 songs in the amateur songwriting competition among hundreds of other entries. After 2 of Fike's songs made it to the top 25 out of the 384 in their division, they were honored to win first place - the "Song of the Year" award for the song "Ascend to Heaven", which opened the doors to numerous performing opportunities and a trip to the Dove Awards.
In February of 2009, Fike and Dana challenged the boundaries of worship with their latest release “Make A Sound”, which offers a wide range of musical offerings. A few songs are infused with Fike’s long time love of hip-hop, while the song "More Than A Friend" displays some of Dana’s roots in country music. This latest worship release showcases the best of Fike's songwriting, Fike & Dana's captivating vocal performances, and Sean’s brilliant production.
The first single “Ascend to Heaven” (winner of the 2008 “Song of the Year” award at GMA's Music in the Rockies), has been released to CCM radio stations throughout the globe through CRW Platinum Gold Promotions. Fike, Dana, & their band will be performing this amazing song and the other 13 songs from “Make a Sound” at worship events & concerts throughout 2009.

Let the wild Rumpus begin!
Last night, I watched a documentary on Maurice Sednak, acclaimed writer/illustrator of the beloved book, ‘Where the Wild Things are’. The film was enchanting to me.
You may not know this, but “Murray” Sednak is now 83 years old. He wrote & illustrated ‘wild things’ when he was a sprite 32 year-old man, having drawn and doodled his whole life, mostly as a hobby, but for some years prior to that breakout hit, he was contracted to illustrate other writers’ work. He had done this so many times… Continue
