Blanca Callahan of Group 1 Crew thanked fans on her Facebook page for the success of her single "Who I Am" EP.

Clad in a simple white shirt, a smiling Blanca said in the video, "I just want to give a huge thank you to all of you who have show your support and got the 'Who I Am' EP... Thank you guys so much for being a part of this new journey with me."

The song is available in iTunes, Spotify, and Google Play and has so far received positive comments from fans. Someone commented in iTunes that her new songs are "good stuff." Another fan, who was heartbroken that Group 1 Crew disbanded, said that Blanca's music is "fresh and new."

"Who I Am" tackles insecurities and shortcomings, and encourages listeners to seek God during moments of doubt.

"Am I strong/ Beautiful/ Am I good enough/ Do I belong/ After all/ That I've said and done/ Is it real/ When I feel/ I don't measure up/ Am I loved/ I'm running to the One who knows me/ Who made every part of me in His hands/ I'm holding to the One who holds me/ Cause I know whose I am, I know who I am," sings Blanca.

Fellow contemporary Christian artist Mandisa has nothing but praise for Blanca's new material. She posted the video to the song on her Facebook page and wrote, "I LOVE the new music from my girl, Blanca! Many of you will remember her from Group 1 Crew. She has one of my favorite voices and I am so proud of her in her new solo venture. Check out her debut song proclaiming who we are in Christ, and be sure to request it from your local Christian radio station!"

People also commented on Mandisa's post that Blanca is a blessed artist and that she has an amazing voice. Many remembered her powerful performance in Winter Jam and are listening out for her songs on radio.
