Kerr released her Top 30 hit “Same God” in the spring of 2021 and followed it up with “Grave” last fall.

Her 2016 debut, Overflow, which earned her more than 40 million streams, featured her Top 15 hit “Warrior,” as well as her version of Matt Maher‘s Top 5 hit “Your Love Defends Me.” The song propelled her to win the award for Most Played Song at the 2018 ASCAP Christian Awards.

“When we created Black River Christian, we did so with a servant’s heart,” adds Gordon Kerr, Black River Entertainment President and CEO. “Our goal was to create music that is mission minded and to follow wherever God leads us. We’ve heard countless testimonies over the years from people whose lives have been touched by this ministry. With this next step, we know there is potential to reach countless more lives with her ministry.”
