Mike Signorelli is recognized for shaping ministry in a way that blends traditional pastoral leadership with modern platforms, connecting with millions around the globe. He is the founding lead pastor of V1 Church and the host of The Narrow Way on the Trinity Broadcasting Network, where his teachings reach both local communities in New York and international audiences. From his early beginnings in Chicagoland to becoming a pastor, author, filmmaker, and philanthropist, his journey reflects a consistent focus on service, faith, and leadership.

When he launched V1 Church in New York City, his vision was to create a place for people who had drifted from faith to rediscover it. In just eight years, the church expanded into seven campuses across Long Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan, New Jersey, Miami, and Northwest Indiana. Beyond its physical presence, the church grew internationally through hundreds of weekly watch parties. The rapid growth has been recognized nationally, with V1 Church listed at No. 26 on Outreach magazine’s 2023 “Outreach 100 Fastest-Growing Churches,” and earlier called the “fastest-growing church in America” by INJOY Stewardship Solutions.

For many, V1 Church is more than a gathering place; it has become a movement founded on values of freedom, generosity, and excellence. His leadership has been dedicated to fostering transformation at both the individual and community levels.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Mike Signorelli V1 Church began livestreaming messages as a way to remain connected with congregants. What started as a necessity soon reached over five million viewers each month and eventually expanded to more than ten million listeners across platforms. This momentum led to the creation of V1 College, which now serves more than two hundred students from over twenty nations, offering training in theology and leadership that equips them for impact in many areas of life. He also launched The Breakers App, providing instruction in evangelism, healing, prophecy, and deliverance, making practical teaching available to a global audience.

Community service has remained central to his work. Together with his wife, Mike founded V1 Community Impact, a nonprofit that distributes food monthly to families across the United States, provides disaster relief, and offers holiday support to shelters in Brooklyn and Long Island. He also leads the MVMNT Network, supporting pastors in six countries and emphasizing unity, generosity, and resilience in leadership.

His influence extends into film and writing. In 2023, his movie The Domino Revival was shown in theaters nationwide, sharing stories of healing, deliverance, and renewed hope. As an author, his most recent book, Inherit Your Freedom (2024), quickly became a best-seller, further extending his message to readers around the world.

At the heart of his life is family. Signorelli and his wife are raising their daughters in New York City, balancing the demands of ministry, travel, and content creation while upholding the values that guide their home.

From his early years in Chicagoland to leading one of the nation's fastest-growing churches, Mike Signorelli has built a ministry marked by teaching, leadership, and service. His work through V1 Church, creative projects, and community initiatives continues to influence countless lives worldwide. Mike’s story demonstrates how vision, perseverance, and faith can bring lasting transformation to both individuals and communities.

Ramsey Elkholy is a guitarist, producer, songwriter, and anthropologist who founded the indietronica collective Monotronic in 2016. He conceived the project as a communal platform where instruments interweave into a single expressive force. Rather than spotlighting individual virtuosity, he emphasizes shared intention and group chemistry, encouraging collaborators to shape each track with their own textures, instincts, and creative voice.

Elkholy’s parallel career in anthropology informs that philosophy. He earned a PhD and authored Being and Becoming: Embodiment and Experience Among the Orang Rimba of Sumatra, a study of rainforest foragers in Indonesia. His research explored how identity, environment, and daily practice intertwine. That perspective carries into his music, where rhythm and atmosphere reflect lived experience and collective awareness.

Travel has also played a defining role in his artistic development. After spending three years backpacking across Asia and beyond, studying Indian music in Calcutta, and completing two years of fieldwork in Sumatra, Ramsey Elkholy Monotronic developed a deep sensitivity to polyrhythm and texture. He has described the rainforest at night as a vast, layered symphony. Raised in New York and now based in Los Angeles, he works from a home garage studio.

Monotronic’s 2026 album Waiting for You represents a significant chapter in the collective’s growth. The record features acclaimed bassist Mohini Dey on Close Enough and legendary drummer Omar Hakim throughout the project. Several accompanying videos, including Looking Away and Everything Moves, premiered at number one on VEVO, expanding the band’s reach and visual identity.

The album blends indie rock, pop, and electronic elements into a cohesive, cinematic sound marked by reflective lyrics and polished production. Everything Moves unfolds in a high-energy escape room setting, while Kettle Song pairs dynamic choreography with striking imagery. Many of the songs were written during time spent in Tulum, where coastal landscapes shaped the album’s contemplative mood.

Since releasing their self-titled debut in 2019, Monotronic has earned praise from outlets such as Rolling Stone and Relix. A rotating roster of accomplished musicians has contributed to the project, many of whom have ties to major artists across genres. Singles including Kids of Summer and In Between have drawn a strong critical response, reinforcing Elkholy’s reputation for genre-fluid songwriting and immersive sound design.

In 2018, he also worked in television production on the set of True Detective, Season Three, serving as Property Production Assistant (Jan.Feb.) and later as Locations Assistant (July).

Fletcher was born in Rogers and raised in Bentonville, Arkansas. His interest in communication led him to study in Fayetteville, where he graduated in December 2017 with a Bachelor of Arts in English and Journalism. During his time at the university, he was involved with the student news outlet and worked as a field producer, assistant producer, and lead producer. His responsibilities included scheduling and conducting interviews, editing video content, mixing audio through Adobe Premiere Pro, and creating graphics such as lower-thirds, on-screen text, and full-page visuals.
