Like I said I host a podcast (Married to the Games) where we talking about gaming from a husband and father’s perspective and I’ve also started to dip my toe into voice over work. So I’ll keep givin’ it back until I can’t any more. Jesus has given me so much that I don’t deserve. In the band we’re always asking, “Can this be real life?” And that’s how I feel about most of my life. Not because I feel like a leader, but because I feel so ill equipped for what God has given me to do. I even host a podcast called Married to the Games. If you talk to me more than 10 minutes then you know I’m really into video games. Frank Sinatra and Nate King Cole were the soundtrack to my childhood. I grew up not wanting to do music even though my house was filled with it. On top of just having the experience, is knowing that the gospel was shared in an amazing way to a city that desperately needs it. I watch the ball drop on television every year and wondered what it would be like to play in the middle of Time Square. I just never thought I would ever do that. It has to be when we recently played Time Square. The traveling is great, but the fellowship and ministry that goes on on our bus is incredible. The relationships I’ve made in this band will be life long. We have an amazing group of guys and one gal. I do more sweating than both of those things though…. I’m the “hype” man and background singer. Droppin knowledge with a game controller in hand. Everything….go to him and get what you need to find or hear! Multi-tasker. Words of advice to someone who wants to play music for a living:įollow the Holy Spirit guiding you and take the vision God gives you and run with it. The clarity in those bad boys are superb! I’m a fan!! So, I get to do that and pursue a music career. I’m also a singer/songwriter/worship leader. I enjoy doing this because I came from this organization, so I get to pour back into the lives of the young ladies of my community the same way people did for me. Outside of DiverseCity I am a mentor for an all girls choir called Angel Street. Tell us about your efforts (musical or otherwise) outside of DiverseCity. Peter got to experience that in that moment of doubt and is a clear testament to what focusing on Jesus and not the mess can do for ya. Things DO get better and are better when I choose to focus on the Lord in everything. However, I have the instruction and life of Jesus to look at. I identify with Peter in this because of those times of doubt I have. He sees how rough the waters are and freaks out. Peter steps out of the boat and starts walking on water.
Peter asked for Jesus to call him out on the water if it was really Him. Peter felt he needed proof that it was Jesus walking to the boat on water. When I find myself particularly in tough situations, I can hear the Lord telling me to focus on Him and keep my eyes on Him. Which Biblical figure do you most identify with and why? I unwind by going to a coffee shop for hours and studying the Bible. So, I’d say they’re my musical heroes as well! Hearing it as well as seeing them sing it live sparked a desire for worship and being a worship leader. Hillsong United’s Oceans was the very first CCM Worship song I’d ever heard. Then there’s Kirk Franklin who brought all the jams and classics that you still hear about to this day.
Listening to MaryMary growing up was inspiring to me. My manager and boyfriend has gotten many text messages from me freaking out about who I’ve seen. Being a part of all of those alongside so many other artists/bands that I’m a fan of is surreal. Share a memorable experience from your time on the road.Ī memorable experience compiles into all of the summer festivals. Serving God and people alongside these guys is truly an honor. My favorite thing about being a part of this band is gaining a host of big brothers that I get to take the stage with throughout the year. What is your favorite thing about being a part of DiverseCity? My role is the female vocalist for DiverseCity. We’re so thankful God made our paths cross. A true worshipper with soulful vocal chops for days. We are excited and honored that Terrian will be taking the stage with us moving forward.
