Behind the Music

---

Over 20 years performing professionally across the Southeast and internationally, teaching vocal and piano students and leading worship, April has the ability to bring meaningful messages through song from a bar stool and church stage. April believes true worship is everywhere and in the lives we lead serving others and living our purpose which April does through her music. Her latest music works comprise much of a story untold with songs about bullying, domestic violence and finding redemption, grace and forgiveness among the trauma, disillusionment and ultimately, finding herself again. 

Amped Kids Foundation, a nonprofit she founded in 2018, serves foster youth, adopted youth and at-risk youth who have suffered trauma with free music programs. Her vision is through music lessons, songwriting and other programs the youth served with find a place of community and connection, healing, an outlet for self expression, hope and empowerment to find their voices. 

In 2024, April released single, Saved By A Song, co-written written with Nashville Songwriter, Greg Barnhill. This project was to tell the story of the power of music to heal and save lives and support the Amped Kids programs.
