HISTORY
Brian was born and raised in a Christian home. His dad was an accomplished musician, having played in Nashville with country music legends like Patsy Cline, Lester Flatt, Earl Scruggs, and more. He helped to stir a passion for music early on in Brian’s life. Brian started playing piano at age five and began playing guitar at age sixteen, but it wasn’t until after high school that he began to make music more than just a fun pastime. He played with several members in a Chattanooga-based Christian Rock group for a number of years. And, through a series of events with this group he met the love of his life - April.

April was also raised in a Christian home. Her dad worked in the acclaimed studios in Muscle Shoals, Alabama that brought us such greats as Aretha Franklin, Percy Sledge, The Forester Sisters, Alabama, and more. When April was born, he was the Minister of Music at a large church in her hometown, Tallahassee, Florida. Her mother was the pianist there and also a successful piano teacher. Surrounded by music, April crafted her instrument - her voice.

Together, they display a beautiful unity in their worship. Their desire to experience the manifest presence of God is clearly evident from the moment you meet them.
