Terry lives in Marion, Iowa and teaches piano. She has played piano
professionally and has taught elementary music, but finds teaching
one on one piano to be most rewarding. Terry began writing music
for "Melodies About Me" in response to the challenge from her
daughters who said "Mom, we know you can do this". And so she
wrote, taking inspiration from her children and grandbabies, whom
she is convinced are "the best on the planet".

Mark Vincent Pence never thought as a child that he would one day
make a living with music. Little did he know that – flash forward to
adulthood – he would not only be playing music professionally, but
also producing, recording, arranging and mixing tunes.
There is no question that Mark will achieve the next level through his
determination and drive to succeed, combined with his modesty and
humility about his talents. When asked about his greatest
accomplishment, the humble Mark replies: “I don’t think I’ve had it
yet. I consider myself a journeyman in what I do. My inspiration is
that I’ve been given a talent by God and I want to use it the best way
I can to touch people’s lives.”

Kristena Rohlena is Mommy to one daughter. Kristena has 15 yrs of
studio experience and 14 years of stage experience. She comes from a
family of 7 children, all of whom played a musical instrument. As a teen,
when asked what she played, she would reply, "The stereo!" Kristena's
greatest love was always singing and not in the study of an instrument.
"I'm very happy for the opportunity to sing on this album. Especially
since my own daughter is still young enough to enjoy it!"
Also singing on this album; the Thank You song, Melodee Rohlena 7,

surfing, singing, running, dancing, cooking, riding horses, and being at
the beach. Her friends and family are her biggest support system.

taking long walks at night, singing in the rain, and just having a good
time. She hopes to own her own interior designing firm when she
