Behind the Music

---

With more than two decades of professional performance experience across the Southeast and abroad, April has devoted her life to teaching, mentoring, and inspiring others through music. As a vocal and piano instructor and longtime worship leader, she brings depth, authenticity, and heartfelt storytelling to every stage—whether seated on a bar stool or standing in a sanctuary. April believes worship is not confined to a place; it is reflected in the way we live, serve, and walk in our purpose. Her music is an extension of that belief.

April’s most recent work reveals a deeply personal, previously untold journey. Her songs explore themes of bullying, domestic violence, trauma, and disillusionment, while ultimately uncovering redemption, grace, forgiveness, and the rediscovery of self.

In 2018, April founded Amped Kids Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting foster, adopted, and at-risk youth who have experienced trauma. Through free music lessons, songwriting programs, and creative outlets, her vision is to help young people find connection, healing, community, and the courage to express their stories. Amped Kids empowers youth to discover their voices—musically and personally.

In 2024, April released the single Saved By A Song, co-written with Nashville songwriter Greg Barnhill. The project celebrates the transformative power of music to heal, restore, and save lives, and it continues to support the mission and programs of Amped Kids Foundation.
