Hannah Kerr has been singing in front of crowds since she was five-years-old. As the daughter of worship leaders, shy Hannah felt at home in front of the church, singing with her parents in Buffalo, New York. But when they moved to Nashville for her father’s work, things changed. “That transition was the hardest time of my life. I felt so alone and I didn’t want to let my parents know how badly I was hurting. I would dig into the Bible and ask, ‘God, why am I here? Do you have a purpose for me?’” During that time, her mother encouraged her to try out for the worship team at their church. Worshiping God was where Hannah found her place in life. However, because Hannah was such an introvert, she never dreamed she would go on to be a Christian artist.” She explains, “I think my journey is a little different than most. A lot of people grew up thinking they were going to be a singer or an artist but that was never on my mind. I thought I was way too introverted to be a singer who performs in fronts of thousands of people, but as I was leading worship...I felt as if that ministry could be expanded to leading worship for the collective church, across the whole nation, and across the world. I felt that God was calling me to do something bigger through music.” God opened the doors and Hannah not only sings but also writes most of her own material.
