St. James rose to fame in the late 1990s with her RIAA certified Gold albums "God" and "Pray", the latter of which won a Grammy Award in 1999 for Best Rock Gospel Album, and her holiday album "Christmas". The albums spawned multiple singles, including "God", "Go and Sin No More", and "Pray". Since then she has established herself as one of the most prominent musical artists in Contemporary Christian music (CCM), with four additional full-length studio albums: "Transform", "Worship God", "If I Had One Chance to Tell You Something" and "I Will Praise You". Staple songs such as "Wait for Me", "Reborn", "Song of Love", "Alive", and "Shine Your Glory Down", have all been derived from these releases. She has sold two million albums since starting her career.
