“Music is such a huge part of our world, and it is one of the most effective mediums for communicating a message. I’ve always felt that songs that speak to the human condition and offer hope, purpose, and beauty should not be limited to the church. I want my music to communicate God’s love to a broken world… and an amazingly diverse world it is! It’s awesome to see how music can bridge generational and cultural barriers, and touch the heart of a person. That is what excites me the most, and keeps me singing every day.” - Laura Kaczor

Laura Kaczor – Full Bio — THE STORY BEHIND THE Music

Singer-Songwriter · Worship Leader · Speaker

Laura Kaczor (pronounced kuh-ZOR) is a Nashville-based worship leader, singer-songwriter, and speaker whose music and ministry have impacted lives across the U.S. and beyond. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Laura began singing at age 8 at a tap recital and wrote her first song at age 10 for her neighbor Rose, 37 years old, who was dying of breast cancer. That song spoke directly to Rose’s heart, giving her strength, peace, and comfort—and confirmed to Laura that God could use her music to speak to others in their time of need. It was the moment she recognized her lifelong calling: to share God’s love through music and become a singer-songwriter.

By age 14, loving music and theatre, she was studying voice with Susan Dash while learning piano, guitar, violin and flute. Although Laura had given her life to Jesus at age 6, her personal relationship with Him deepened during her teenage years, especially through her youth group and at the Creation Festival, where she encountered Contemporary Christian Music for the first time, fell in love with worshipping the Lord, and sensed the call to become a Christian artist.

While attending the University of Pennsylvania, Laura led worship with Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU), and sang in the Christian a cappella group Full Measure, practicing, praying, and studying the Word 10–15 hours a week with performances on campus twice a year. This time at UPenn was truly transformative. Laura sang two songs on their album and was writing earnestly and recorded her first album of original songs, Wake Me Up. After graduating, she moved to Nashville to pursue music.

Laura has released four full-length albums of original music produced by GRAMMY-nominated and Dove Award-winning producers:

• Wake Me Up (produced by Anthony Newett)

• Wildflowers (produced by John Carter Cash)

• Love Enough (produced by Don Koch)

• Restore Me (produced by Ian Eskelin)

A fifth album is currently in production.

Her music has been played on hundreds of radio stations in the U.S., UK, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, Netherlands, USSR, Philippines, Slovakia, Netherlands & and beyond. She has charted six singles on the Billboard Top 20–25 Christian charts, including “Alive in You,” which remained in the Top 20 for 11 weeks through Universal Music Christian Group. She also achieved a #5 hit, Restore Me, in the UK.

Laura was recognized as a Top 10 New Female Christian Singer by NewReleaseToday in 2012 and has been featured in CCM Magazine, Good Life and The Harvest Show. She has led worship and performed at concerts, conferences, and churches around the country, and at Jesus Fest, a grassroots ministry uniting 1000 youth monthly from over 150 youth groups over a 7-year span—reaching thousands of young people through worship and speakers such as Josh McDowell—and LifeThirst Worship & Teaching Conferences, which Laura was the founder of, where many came to Christ or recommitted their lives to him.

Laura also speaks and shares her songs to women and girls through her Lift Up U events, and sharing a powerful message of identity, purity, self-worth, and restoration in Christ. Her heart is to see lives healed and transformed through the power of God’s Word and presence.

After a sabbatical to focus on family and her two children—and the successful open-heart surgery of her son—Laura is returning in 2025/2026 with a renewed passion and calling. She is working with Jesse Phillips of Church of the City, Franklin (her home church), and recording at Real Fun Studios (home of Chris McClarney) in Franklin, TN. Her new single, “Mountains Will Move (In the Name of Jesus)”, marks her return to Christian radio and worship ministry.

Interview with Laura Kaczor

At just 10 years old, Laura Kaczor wrote her first song—moved by the cancer diagnosis of a close friend and neighbor. She recorded it on a karaoke machine, and the lyrics, echoing her friend’s prayers, brought deep comfort. “That’s when I realized music could truly impact lives,” Laura recalls.

Raised in Pennsylvania, Laura’s love for singing grew from early performances at local events to years of vocal training with her mentor, Susan Dash. But it was attending Creation Festival after high school that solidified her calling: to use her voice and songwriting for God. “That’s when I decided every musical pursuit would be for the Lord,” she says.

Inspired by artists like Matt Redmon and Sara Groves, Laura found healing and vision through music—and wanted to do the same for others. “It’s not the artist—it’s the Lord using their songs. That’s what I want.”

There was no grand plan to become a Christian artist—just a series of faithful steps. “I want this generation to experience the presence and love of God like I did,” she shares.

For Laura, music is a ministry, not a means to fame. “If it’s not about ministry, it won’t last. But if it is, there’s always work to be done.” Messages from listeners who’ve been touched by her songs affirm her purpose. “That makes it all worth it.”

Whether through worship music or mentoring young women, Laura hopes to be what others once were to her—a voice of hope, guided by the Holy Spirit.

This style was new to Laura and created a love and passion for worshipping Jesus. It was then and there she felt a clear calling to become a Christian artist.

While studying at the University of Pennsylvania, Laura became a member of the Christian a cappella group Full Measure, performing on campus, recording, and leading worship. These years of practicing 10-15 hours a week while studying the Word and praying together were very transformative. Laura sang two songs on their album. She also served as worship leader with Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU), and it was during these college years that she began writing worship songs more seriously. She became the worship leader and MC for Jesus Fest, a grassroots worship and evangelistic event that grew to 1000 monthly uniting over 150 youth groups and reaching thousands over a seven-year span with speakers like Josh McDowell where many came to Christ. This led to Laura founding and leading worship for LifeThirst Conferences, partnering with national speakers and ministries. Laura also founded Lift Up U Girls Events where she spoke on identity, purity and self-worth while sharing her original songs in many areas of the country.  

Laura recorded her first independent album, Wake Me Up, in 2006 with GRAMMY-nominated Anthony Newett while still in college, followed by Wildflowers in 2007, recorded with GRAMMY-nominated John Carter Cash at Cash Cabin Studios in Nashville. In 2010, she released Love Enough, produced by six-time Dove Award-winner Don Koch, and distributed nationally through Universal Music Christian Group. The album’s lead single, Alive in You, reached #17 on the Billboard charts and stayed there for 11 weeks.

In 2015, Laura released her fourth album, Restore Me, produced by GRAMMY-nominated and multi-Dove Award-winning producer of the year, Ian Eskelin (Francesca Battistelli). This album of all original songs featured six of the ten songs co-written with Amy Lewis Strother and added several more Billboard-charting singles to Laura’s discography—for a total of six songs that hit the Top 20–25 Billboard Chart and a #5 hit, Restore Me in the UK. Her radio singles received airplay on hundreds of radio stations in the US and in countries around the world, including UK, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, Netherlands, USSR, Philippines, Slovakia, Netherlands & more.

Named a “Top 10 New Female Christian Singer” by NewReleaseToday in 2012 and featured by CCM Magazine, The Harvest Show, and more, Laura has used her voice and songs not only on stage but in ministry—leading worship and speaking at events that draw hearts closer to Christ.

These years of practicing 10-15 hours a week while studying the Word and praying together were very formative. She also served with Campus Crusade for Christ (CRU), and it was during these college years that she began writing worship songs more seriously. She became the worship leader and MC for Jesus Fest, a grassroots worship and evangelistic event that grew to 1000 monthly uniting over 150 youth groups and reaching thousands over a seven-year span with speakers like Josh McDowell where many came to Christ. This led to Laura founding and leading worship for LifeThirst Conferences, partnering with national speakers and ministries. Laura also founded Lift Up U Girls Events where she spoke on identity, purity and self-worth while sharing her original songs in many areas of the country.  

Laura recorded her first independent album, Wake Me Up, in 2006 with GRAMMY-nominated Anthony Newett while still in college, followed by Wildflowers in 2007, recorded with GRAMMY-nominated John Carter Cash at Cash Cabin Studios in Nashville. In 2010, she released Love Enough, produced by six-time Dove Award-winner Don Koch, and distributed nationally through Universal Music Christian Group. The album’s lead single, Alive in You, reached #17 on the Billboard charts and stayed there for 11 weeks.

In 2015, Laura released her fourth album, Restore Me, produced by GRAMMY-nominated and multi-Dove Award-winning producer of the year, Ian Eskelin (Francesca Battistelli). This album of all original songs featured six of the ten songs co-written with Amy Lewis Strother and added several more Billboard-charting singles to Laura’s discography—for a total of six songs that hit the Top 20–25 Billboard Chart and a #5 hit in the UK. Her radio singles received airplay on hundreds of radio stations in the US and in countries around the world, including UK, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, Netherlands, USSR, Philippines, Slovakia, Netherlands & more.

Named a “Top 10 New Female Christian Singer” by NewReleaseToday in 2012 and featured by CCM Magazine, The Harvest Show, and more, Laura has used her voice and songs not only on stage but in ministry—leading worship and speaking at events that draw hearts closer to Christ.

After a sabbatical to focus on family—the birth of her two children after difficult pregnancies and her son’s very successful open-heart surgery for a hole in his heart —Laura returns in 2025 / 2026 with a renewed heart, powerful new songs, and a passion to serve and lead others into the presence of God. She is excited to be working with the very talented producer and bassist Jesse Phillips from her home church, Church of the City, Franklin, TN and recording and writing at Chris McClearny’s Real Fun Studios in Franklin, TN to be released soon! .

Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Laura began singing at age 8 at a tap recital and wrote her first song at age 10 for a neighbor, Rose, dying of breast cancer—the song spoke directly to her heart, and it was a moment that confirmed to Laura that God could use her to write through her music to speak to someone's heart, giving them strength, peace and comfort.

How Did It All Begin?

Interview with Laura Kaczor

At just 10 years old, Laura Kaczor wrote her first song—moved by the cancer diagnosis of a close friend and neighbor. She recorded it on a karaoke machine, and the lyrics, echoing her friend’s prayers, brought deep comfort. “That’s when I realized music could truly impact lives,” Laura recalls.

Raised in Pennsylvania, Laura’s love for singing grew from early performances at local events to years of vocal training with her mentor, Susan Dash. But it was attending Creation Festival after high school that solidified her calling: to use her voice and songwriting for God. “That’s when I decided every musical pursuit would be for the Lord,” she says.

Inspired by artists like Caedmon’s Call, Bebo Norman, and especially Sara Groves, Laura found healing and vision through music—and wanted to do the same for others. “It’s not the artist—it’s the Lord using their songs. That’s what I want.”

There was no grand plan to become a Christian artist—just a series of faithful steps. “I want this generation to experience the presence and love of God like I did,” she shares.

For Laura, music is a ministry, not a means to fame. “If it’s not about ministry, it won’t last. But if it is, there’s always work to be done.” Messages from listeners who’ve been touched by her songs affirm her purpose. “That makes it all worth it.”

Whether through worship music or mentoring young women, Laura hopes to be what others once were to her—a voice of hope, guided by the Holy Spirit.

"Music is such a huge part of our world, and it is one of the most effective mediums for communicating a message. I’ve always felt that songs that speak to the human condition, and offer hope, purpose, and beauty, should not be limited to the church. I want my music to communicate God’s love to a broken world… and an amazingly diverse world it is! It’s awesome to see how music can bridge generational and cultural barriers, and touch the heart of a person. That is what excites me the most, and keeps me singing every day.”
