“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

full bio- the story behind the songs

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, recorded on a karaoke machine and cassette tape, echoed the same words Rose was praying and was a miracle for both of them—giving Rose strength, peace, and comfort, and confirming to 10-year-old Laura that God could use her music to speak to someone’s heart. 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 soared during her teenage years, especially through her youth group and at Creation Festival, where she encountered Contemporary Christian Music for the first time. Laura fell deeper in love with Jesus, worship became her passion, and she 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 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 when she recorded her first song, The Nails, and her first album of songs all written by Laura, Wake Me Up. After graduating, she moved to Nashville to pursue music.

Laura has released four full-length albums of original music:

  • Restore Me (2015 – Produced by Ian Eskelin (GRAMMY-nominated, multi-Dove Award-winning Producer of the Year) (Francesca Battistelli)

  • Love Enough (2010 – Produced by Don Koch (Six-time Dove Award-winning producer) (Phillips, Craig & Dean)

  • Wildflowers (2007 – Produced by John Carter Cash, Cash Cabin Studios (GRAMMY-nominated producer)

  • Wake Me Up (2006 – Produced by Anthony Newett (GRAMMY-nominated producer)

  • New Album coming (2025/2026)

She has charted 6 singles on the Billboard Top 20–25 Christian charts, including Alive in You, which remained in the Top 20 for 11 weeks (Essential Music Publishing, Universal Music Christian Group Distribution) and Invisible # 7 on CMW. Also her song, Restore Me reached #5 in the UK, (United Christian Broadcasters Network). Her music has been played on hundreds of radio stations in the U.S., UK, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, Netherlands, Russia, Philippines, Slovakia, and beyond. One of her most recent songs, Greater, was released to radio in 2021 with 94 stations adding.

Laura was recognized as a Top 10 New Female Christian Singer by NewReleaseToday in 2012 and has been featured in CCM Magazine, Good Life, The Harvest Show, and The Marybeth Conley Show. She has led worship and performed at concerts, conferences, and churches around the country, and at Jesus Fest, a grassroots ministry uniting 1,000 youth once a month from over 150 youth groups over a seven-year span—reaching thousands of young people through worship and evangelistic speakers such as Josh McDowell—and LifeThirst Worship Concerts & Outreach Events, for six years, which Laura founded as part of her non-profit, partnering with national ministries and apologetic speakers like Bob Cornuke (Base Institute), Institute for Creation Research (ICR) and more, where many came to Christ or recommitted their lives to Him. Laura also has ministered to women and girls through her Lift Up U Events, 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, His love, and His 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 new music, a renewed passion, and a calling to reach all generations with the love of Jesus Christ and the knowledge of who they are in Him.

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 Redman 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.

More from the heart of laura

Laura’s special message to girls at her events:


"I have a heart for young girls and understand their struggles," she shares. "Whether it's sexual sin, abuse, or whatever they may feel shameful about, God wants to heal that place in their heart. When His grace is shining in the place where you've been hiding, it makes the ugliness beautiful."

Having recently experienced the loss of a close family friend at age 22 through suicide, Laura is even more committed to helping girls find Jesus and be set free through His love—and to embrace who they are in Him.

Personal notes about her son’s open-heart surgery

Laura wrote this in the liner notes of her fourth album, Restore Me:
"My sweet son, born with a hole in his heart, was the reason I was on my knees constantly while this album was produced. Although all the songs were written before my pregnancy, it was amazing how they miraculously spoke and ministered to me when I would receive them produced by Ian, as I was going through all this uncertainty and my son’s heart surgery—particularly ‘You Make Me Brave.’ I wrote this song years before I was even pregnant, and I received it produced by Ian the day before making the trip to CHOP in Pennsylvania for my son’s open-heart surgery. I had it on repeat for 12 hours in the car, and who knew that the Lord would use that song written long ago to give me strength and courage during the most difficult time in my life. But… He did."

Ten Years Later, Laura Posted This:

“I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since my son’s heart surgery—11/11/14.


“He was 6 months old. Ileen and Gary (Kelly’s parents) drove from Illinois to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia to be there. We stayed with my parents, Mary and Fred, for 3 weeks afterward while he recovered. All the while, God carried us through.

I struggled so profoundly with the whys and what-ifs, with anxiety and fear. Every day before his surgery, I cried out to God for help. I read, I journaled, and I journeyed through my own personal wilderness until I found my ‘spring’ in the desert. I heard God whisper to my heart: ‘You can trust Me with this child.’

I knew I needed to lay down my white-knuckled, debilitating need to feel in control of a situation I had no control over—and trust that whatever the outcome, God would be with us. And He was. And He is.

As we see His hand on our son’s life, and how He’s given him such a tender heart for the things of God and for hurting people, I have no doubt that Jesus was in that operating room, touching his heart in a way only He could. I thank God for the gifted doctors, nurses, bio-engineers who designed the bypass machines, and everyone in the medical community who contributed to his care. I see a creative, magnificent, merciful God in all of their efforts.

I know every diagnosis doesn’t end with healing this side of heaven, and my heart breaks for families who walk through loss so profound. But in the heartbreak and grief, I know Jesus is also there in their wilderness, leading to ‘springs of living water’ so that they will not be consumed.

It’s so important to remember what God has done. Thank You, God, for directing us to the doctors and nurses who cared for Samuel—and for the gift of his life that we treasure every day. Ezekiel 36:26.

On a side note, as only our Lord would do in His great love, our dear son received the “Lion’s Heart Award” twice (usually only given once per student) from two of his beautiful teachers, to a student exemplifying outstanding heart, leadership, courage and Christlike love and kindness. God is so good!” - Laura
