Janelle Drake is a worship leader, singer-songwriter, and entrepreneur with a heart for ministry and music. A Nashville native now based in Chattanooga, TN, her journey began in the church, where she developed a deep-rooted passion for worship from an early age.

Alongside her husband and producer, Carlous C. Drake, Janelle has spent years leading worship and serving as a co-worship director for various churches and ministries. Together, they founded Upper Room CCC, a Christian creative community dedicated to nurturing faith-driven artistry. Now, after years of collaboration and ministry, Janelle is stepping into her solo career as a CCM and Contemporary Gospel artist, sharing her passion for worship with a wider audience.

Beyond music, Janelle is a business consultant and entrepreneur. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in English and a Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership, equipping her with both creative and strategic expertise in her ministry and business endeavors. In addition to balancing her creative and professional pursuits, her greatest call is raising her daughter, Jourdyn, with her husband of 13 years.

With a firm foundation in faith and a powerful voice for worship, Janelle is entering this new season with boldness, purpose, and a desire to glorify God through her music.
