Multi-talented, vocalist, songwriter, producer, artist, motivator and worshiper of Christ are all words that describe Laurie Walker. With a voice that is a gift from God, she sings with a message of hope that the world needs to hear. Lyrics to her songs will take you on a journey of growth that speaks to life's challenges and the restoration, renewal, and freedom found in Christ Jesus. Listeners will soon learn that what seemed to be a struggle was actually a wonderful opportunity to gain a deeper relationship with God. Simply put, Laurie's artistry celebrates the journey to the fulfillment of a higher purpose and reminds us all that the road we travel is not in vain but rather the launching grounds by which God propels us into our destiny in Him. With a background in R&B and gospel music, Laurie draws inspiration from artists such as Stevie Wonder, Donnie Hathaway, India Arie, Musiq Soulchild, Yolanda Adams, and MaryMary. She believes her ministry is meant to reach not only the church, but people from all walks of life. Not your average gospel artist, Laurie's audiences may find her in jazz clubs such as multi-grammy award winner, Cassandra Wilson's listening room, The Yellow Scarf as well as popular restaurants and music halls that often showcase R&B, country, alternative, and blues artists. In her own words, she believes "God can use anyone or anything to reach hearts and accomplish his will. I just want to be used in whatever way He wants to use me." Debuting her first album entitled "Free In Him: Excerpts of Life", Laurie has been blessed with the opportunity to share her ministry with listeners across the globe. In 2013 and 2014, she ministered at two-time Stellar Award winning internet radio station, Yes Lord Radio's anniversary concert alongside major gospel artists such as Smokey Norful, J. Moss, Anita Wilson, James Fortune, Uncle Reese, Amber Bullock, and Tasha Page Lockhart during Stellar Award Weekend in Nashville, TN.
