My Music

Although I grew up in a fairly musical family, I never thought that I would become a songwriter. I always loved singing (but very privately) and in 10th grade I got an electric guitar thinking that I wanted to be a rock star someday. After realizing it was a lot harder than it looked, I decided to give up that dream and continue to do art like I always had.

 

I haphazardly wrote one song in college about a guy I liked - and it was very emo (perhaps someday I'll share it just for fun!), but things really began to take off after my call to ministry when I was taking a Bible Study Class and felt inspired to write a song based on some verses I had read in Matthew 6. The lyrics flowed right out of me with little effort, and so did the melody. After that, the inspiration to write songs kept coming. Whenever I felt deeply impacted by something I would create a new song - many of which came from painful times and struggles. I now have over 30 completed - all with basic chords that most people could play - and I feel God calling me to share them with the world.
