Music and film company in:ciite Media has announced its signing of Rachel Chan, teenage daughter of New York Times best-selling author Francis Chan. Her debut album, Go, is set for release Jan. 10, 2012, through EMI CMG Distribution.

Chris Thomason, CEO, said the 15-year-old was “an amazing talent and has a unique perspective on ministry and the world because of her family. She is authentic and delightful, and we believe her music will connect with a growing generation of believers and seekers.”

Working with pop-music producer Dave Lubben (Kutless, Kathryn Scott), Chan is co-writer on the album’s 10 tracks—one of which features her father rapping.

“I’ve never necessarily considered myself a songwriter, but it was when I sought the Lord for His words that I truly was able to write them in the Spirit,” Chan said.

“There is such a peace that I have about everything written because each word was prayed over,” she added. “Writing these songs reminded me all over again exactly what I love about my Savior and the things He does in my daily life that make me go weak in the knees.”

First radio single “Prove It,” featuring a collaboration with Francis Chan, will release this month.

“It has been a while since the early days of Rachael Lampa, Joy Williams and Rebecca St. James that a young talent with such an endearing smile and uncompromising boldness for Christ arrived on the scene ready to communicate such an important story to her generation,” said Amy Stansell, in:ciite director of key initiatives.
