When I graduated from RHEMA BIBLE TRAINING CENTER in Oklahoma I was 21 years old. I worked as a Youth Minister and a Worship
Leader in various churches in Oklahoma and Florida. I always thought that I would continue to live and work in the US. Father,
of course, had other plans for me and after 6 years of ministry state-side, I was led to come back and serve Him here in Panama.
So here I am, working with other servants of God, from all denominations and cultures, spreading the Good News through the
music ministry entrusted to me. It is a tremendous gift He has given me; allowing me to record for you what is going on in
my life and it goes far beyond my wildest dreams or expectations. I thank you, from the bottom of my heart for every CD sold
here funds this music ministry and everything we do through SALTMINE STUDIO here in the Republic of Panama. It is my sincere
prayer that you, through these simple songs and melodies, will be blessed and drawn into a deeper love for Jesus every moment
of your life.

(1998) "Primary Colors" or "Colores Primarios" (in honor of my grandfather who taught me my colors) was
recorded. This album was my first solo attempt at writing, arranging and producing an album. I learned how to sequence on
a Korg 01 WFD keyboard. I always loved to dance so you will hear a lot of different kinds of dance music on this one. From
Salsa to Techno. The album is mostly in Spanish but there are a couple of songs in English.
I learned a great lesson about myself during this time; that I should NEVER underestimate what God can do through you
if you are willing to have the courage to be obedient. DON'T BE AFRAID TO RECORD YOUR SONGS YOURSELF! I know from what I speak.
The greatest hindrance to the Kingdom of God moving forward is NOT those around us - it's our own insecurities and fears that
paralyze us from acting. I encourage you - observe, read, ask questions and try it for yourself. I did once and have done
so ever since, you will notice each record sounds better than the one before it - growing is good and you know what? It's
good that those that listen to and appreciate the music entrusted to you SEE you grow. You can do it - trust me - if I can
- you can too.
Reviewer's Quote - Pamela's musical arrangements are simply beautiful, there's a smooth Amy Grant-like vibe to her voice with
a Miami Sound Machine musicality - Leonard Fritzell - Editor - Positive Beat Magazine
(2002) "Simple Man's Daughter" is my second English album. With the help of Dan Mellado, (my boy wonder) and a few
friends of mine, we recorded over 20 songs for this project, with 12 songs finally selected for the album. I am especially
proud of these songs. You'll hear everything from jazz, bossanova, country pop and acoustical R&B grooves. This album
is as much Dan's as it is mine - his help in writing and arranging the music was invaluable. The introduction track is a tasty
example of what you can hear on his debut album "Emotions".

From the Republic of Panama comes this Latin-tinged pop album: a refreshing change from the usual rock and pop music.
The album starts out with a surprising instrumental guitar piece and melts into the sound of the ocean on the worshipful "You
Alone", interweaving Spanish and English in beautiful contrast. "For This Reason" is an excellent guitar-flavoured
pop piece suitable for radio. "Dangerous" is a soulful, catchy song about a relationship..."Temptation is too
hard to resist, dangerous...you're dangerous." Thanks to excellent musicians, such as Dan "El Skinny" Mellado,
who plays all guitars, bass and keys, this album stands out. Pamela's voice is smooth, warm and sometimes sexy, bringing images
of the tropics to mind. There's a lot of space here and nothing feels rushed. "Save Me From Me" has the floating
chorus that declares "I've got to break free, Jesus come and rescue me from me." The production is tastefully done
in a way that compliments Clark, such as the reverb that is well utilised on her voice. The album ends with a heartfelt cry
about the events of Sept 11th, 2001, interweaving Clark's lyrics, which speak of how many Americans felt, with the powerful
words of George W Bush, speaking after the attacks. So breathe in deep and relax to "Simple Man's Daughter."
(2000) "Listen and Believe" is my first English album and after 4 years of writing material I recorded an album
that was more of a healing project for me personally. Many of the song's lyrics are simply the WORD of God set to music. The
CD first track comes enhanced with pictures, lyrics and a slide show explaining each song's origin. There's a little bit of
everything on this one, from R&B to Soft Acoustical Rock. There's something to be said for learning how to play an instrument
for yourself - it takes dedication and hard work. I think every singer/songwriter has a true appreciation for their band members
- after trying to play things for myself - it just made me want to take my guitar player out to lunch more often to say "thank
you."
Review Issue 68 Cross Rhythms Magazine - UK 7/10. Reviewer: John Baugh
Almost defying a category, the second collection (first in English) from Pamela. From dc Talk-ish rock to ballad via rootsy
acoustic, even edging towards doo-wop (Holy Holy). It's taken four years for her to write, play most of the instruments and
record and to me it sounds like time well spent. Production standards are high with the clear quality of Pamela's voice shining
through especially in my favourite, the minimally instrumented "Alpha/Omega". It's an enhanced CD so once I realized
the enhanced bit was on track one (confusing my CD player) I could enjoy lyrics, notes and pictures. And track 16 gives you
a real thank you from Pamela herself. Intrigued? Check her out for yourself!
(2004) "Ethos7" This is truly a compilation album because I have about 5 different artists and bands collaborating
on this one with me. I so enjoy the feeling of freedom - to be able to write and sing whatever I feel and know that somewhere
there is someone who will understand and appreciate it. Ethos is the defining culture - the heart and soul - the center of
something. For me, that would be the Godhead.(7) He is the center of all I know to be true in my life. This album has 13 songs
of rock and pop mixed with rhythm and harmony. I put more of myself into this CD than anything I have done so far... Oh how
I loved every moment of it.
ETHOS7 (2004)

Boldness and strength, two qualities that I adore in a Christian artist, are especially delightful in a woman. Pamela
Clark has these qualities in spades, and "Ethos 7, her fourth album, rocks its way through bold truths with competence
and joy. There's a nice variety to the songs, with a touch of swing sax here and there, some edgy hip-hop flavas scattered
throughout, and the shoobie vocals of "Little More." She's not afraid to confront; the challenges of "Anymore"
are boldly in your face. Not everyone will be comfortable with this song, but I don't know that that's necessarily negative.
I have a feeling Clark would be happy to see some squirming in her audience.
Her mission field is her home of Panama and funds raised by CD sales will go to fulfill that work. Knowing this helped
me enjoy my favorite track, the bonus untitled closer, even more. Passionate and intense, some of it in Spanish. But some
things transcend language limitations, don't they? Pamela Clark is someone you don't want to miss.
