ITT:Your husband and Producer / Drummer Mike, truly is a partner in ministry with you, how did you
meet, how is he an encouragement to you, and what advice would you like to give InTheTimes.com girls
when it comes to finding the Godly 'man of their dreams' ?
Alisa: My husband Mike and I met years ago when ZOEgirl was on tour with Carman. Mike was the drummer for that tour, and it seemed like he kept ending up as the drummer on most of the tours ZOEgirl did after that.
Kristin, Chrissy, and I really thought the world of Mike, and he was kind of like a big brother to us. Mike and I never thought of each other in a romantic way until one day in 2003. I walked up on stage, and he was already up there, just smiling at me. Everything changed in that moment for both of us!
I always knew what an amazing drummer Mike was, but I had no idea what a talented producer and manager he would become ! We produced my first solo album together, and poured our hearts into every drumbeat, keyboard stroke and background vocal. He takes care of everything on the business side, and is as involved with my music as I am.
It's such a gift to have a husband that supports, encourages, and cheers me on. It's crazy how perfect we are for each other. He is so gifted in gluing together the rhythm section, and I am good at the more melodic, ethereal and ambient elements. I am so glad I married a drummer because that is one area where I am totally deficient ! I majored in music in college (I didn't finish), and I got pretty good grades except when it came to the rhythmic dictation class. I took it twice and never passed. Every time I hear numbers or beats, my mind just goes blank. If I had to record the album by myself, every song would be in three different time signatures !
My advice to girls looking for a husband, is to find a guy that loves who you are and the way you do things. If you are with a guy that criticizes the way you do everything, run away ! A couple of my ex-boyfriends were really controlling and manipulative. I still can't figure out why we girls are so attracted to that ! Find someone who adores the way you tie your shoes, answer the phone, and drink your soda. You'll thank me.
