Molly Williams is a vocalist and worship leader who has been involved with MorningStar Ministries in Charlotte, North Carolina for the past 8 years. Molly writes passionate songs that bring hope and encouragement to the body of Christ. Her first EP, Sacrifice, brings the church into a new level of intimacy and intense worship. She is a graduate of the MorningStar School of Ministry and was on staff with Morningstar for 3 years. Molly now travels worldwide teaching and leading at worship conferences and worship schools. She also currently tours as background singer for renowned American recording artist, Wynnona Judd, as well as worship leaders such as Don Potter, Jonathan Helser, and Suzy Wills Yaraei.
A vocal performance major in college, Molly grew up singing in and out of church, listening to a wide variety of musical styles, from soul music and seventies rock to the classical styles she sang in school. After college, Williams began singing backup for established artists and worship leaders. However, as she began to develop her own voice, Molly was drawn to the sounds of British bands like U2 and Coldplay and American roots style artists like Over the Rhine, Bonnie Raitt, and Counting Crows.
Molly's musical influences have blended into her very own distinct style of worship, a kind of "British rock with American soul". Her recent EP, Sacrifice, highlights this sound. From the very up-tempo arena rock worship of "Jesus Loves Me" to the moody crescendos of "Enough", this brand of praise is both unique and genuine, as Williams comments herself, "The songs I write aren’t typical worship songs, in their style or content…I tend to write songs that deal with things that a lot of us go through while we’re trying to follow the Lord…laying our lives down, getting free, wanting more of Him and less of ourselves, learning to love people."
In the end, though, Molly's main objective in her music and her life is to see people, especially young people, connect with God: "My heart is to create an environment where people can just be free to express their love to the Lord…I want young people to know that really giving their lives to the Lord is the most rocking life they can live." .
Hope you'll enjoy...
