Background

Cappillino was born into a Christian family. As she grew up, church was not an option. She would attend every week. One night, when she was nine years old, she had a dream about dying. She was so frightened by it that she ran to her parents room and asked her mother how she would be certain that if she died, she would go to heaven. At that point, her mother shared the plan of salvation with her and she asked the Lord into her heart. She grew up in a very musical family and was always involved with music, singing in youth choirs. She has a degree in Vocal Performance from Anderson College and a Bachelor of Arts in Religion from Charleston Southern University
