For many years, Kiersten Venezia has been watching and listening to the hearts of people. What she’s witnessed through others and that of her own life is that we’re all longing for a place to belong and feel loved. She came to know Jesus Christ as an adult and has seen this longing just as prevalent in the church as outside it’s protective walls. Through her music, she has a passion to speak into hearts the message that God is good and He longs to know us.
Kiersten was exposed to music from a very early age. Being the daughter of a drummer and a long line of musicians, music was everywhere. While she tried her hand at different instruments and genres over the years, it wasn’t until her 30’s when God started shaping a course for her to share her music with a larger audience.
She produced her first album, “Good Promises” in 2005. Within six months of the release, she was invited to share the stage with ZoeGirl as their opening act in St. Louis, her hometown. She has since written songs for SSM Health Care, been featured on local TV and radio shows, lead worship and performed for thousands of people around the nation.
But what really moves Kiersten is seeing God change lives through His redemptive love. Her album “Back to Eden”, released in the Spring of 2009, is about the power of God’s unrestrained beauty and goodness to release the death grip that sin and shame can have in our hearts. She writes songs that are infused with the message that Christ is our hope of glory and He will meet us in the midst of our tragedies to show His healing grace. Her songwriting is personal and honest, taking the listener on a journey through her stories of trials, faith, and surrender. She wants to come along side the hurting and point them to the One who can make it all right. With a heart for those in and out of the church, young and old, rich and poor, Kiersten’s music will continue to cross barriers and speak of God’s loving kindness to all.
