NATALIE GRANT

Natalie Grant, a powerhouse vocalist, heart-gripping songwriter and charismatic performer, is eager to push boundaries—sonically, lyrically and otherwise—and she more than proves her intentions with Relentless, her seventh album and first studio recording in nearly 3 years.

 

Like Awaken, her 2005 breakthrough album Relentless showcases a deep dimension of lyrical honesty and vulnerability—a hallmark of Natalie’s music these days—yet sonically, she embraces her more progressive rock/pop side, replete with live horns, grittier guitar licks and the distinct R&B flair of her voice that’s often been toned down in the past.

Artistic fervor resonates from a variety of sources, but Natalie’s comes from a deep desire to live a life that matters—one that has eternal significance. As one of the first artists to open the eyes of the Church to the atrocities of children around the world forced into the sex trade, Natalie created The Home Foundation in 2005 to raise both awareness and financial support for this important fight.

 

“I resolved to give my life away, and as a result, it really began to shape a belief that regardless of circumstance, hope still endures. And that’s why the work of The Home Foundation is so life-changing for me. Lives are being affected for eternity.”

Natalie is also motivated by her role as a popular speaker and performer on Women of Faith’s “Revolve Tour” for teen girls. After overcoming a struggle with bulimia as a young adult, her message of self-worth from God’s perspective has yielded thousands of affirming letters and e-mails from girls who have taken Natalie’s words to heart.

 

These days, Natalie’s newest role is one she treasures the most—mom to one-year-old twin daughters Grace and Isabella. “Now that I’m a mother of two little girls, its all the more reason to fight for what’s important,” she says.

 

In a nutshell, that’s precisely why Natalie won’t make an album without being intentional about its purpose. Dove Awards, radio hits and album sales, while inconsequential in the light of eternity, have graciously afforded Natalie an even broader platform from which to share her message, and she doesn’t take that lightly. On a mission to push musical boundaries and change lives, Natalie Grant is no longer afraid to break the mold and swing for the fence. She’s determined, and she’s relentless.
