Her music has charted nationally on Billboard, including “Alive in You,” which remained in the Billboard Top 20 for 11 consecutive weeks, and “Restore Me,” which reached #5 in the UK. Her songs have aired on over 200 radio stations across the U.S. and internationally.

LONG 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 United States and around the world. With seven Billboard Top 20–25 Christian singles and music aired on more than 200 radio stations nationally and internationally, Laura’s career reflects both artistic excellence and unwavering faith.
Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Laura’s calling began early. At age eight, she sang for the first time at a neighbor’s tap recital. At age nine, she was asked to sing on her church’s recorded album, which began her love of singing. By age ten, she had written her first song for her neighbor Rose, a young mother who was dying of breast cancer. Recorded on a simple karaoke machine and cassette tape, the song echoed the very prayers Rose had been praying. It was a miracle to Rose, bringing comfort and peace during her final days—and it revealed to young Laura that God could write music through someone to minister deeply to a human heart. That moment marked the beginning of a lifelong calling: to share God’s love through song.
By fourteen, Laura was studying voice with Susan Dash and training in piano, guitar, violin, and flute. Although she had given her life to Christ at age six, her faith deepened profoundly during her teenage years through her youth group and at Creation Festival, where she first encountered Contemporary Christian Music and sensed a clear calling to become a Christian artist. Her love for Jesus led to a passionate love for worship music, which became a central part of her life.
While attending the University of Pennsylvania, Laura led worship with CRU (Campus Crusade for Christ) and sang with Full Measure, UPenn’s Christian a cappella group, where two of her songs were featured on their album Not for Nothing. During those formative years with Full Measure, the group practiced diligently, studied Scripture, and prayed together—often ten hours a week. Laura began pursuing songwriting more seriously during this time and recorded her first original song, “The Nails,” followed by her debut album, Wake Me Up, before moving to Nashville to pursue music.
Laura has since released four full-length albums of original music with GRAMMY and Dove Award–winning producers:
• Wake Me Up (2006 — Produced by Anthony Newett) • Wildflowers (2007 — Produced by John Carter Cash at Cash Cabin Studio) • Love Enough (2010 — Produced by Don Koch; distributed by Universal Music Christian Group) • Restore Me (2015 — Produced by Ian Eskelin)
Her music has produced seven singles that charted in the Billboard Top 20–25 Christian charts. “Alive in You” remained in the Billboard Top 20 for eleven consecutive weeks through Universal Music Christian Group Distribution, while “Restore Me” reached #5 in the UK through United Christian Broadcasters. Her songs have been played on over 200 radio stations across the U.S., UK, Canada, Ireland, Scotland, Australia, the Netherlands, Russia, the Philippines, Slovakia, South Africa, and beyond. She has surpassed over 400,000 digital streams.
Recognized early in her career as a Top 10 New Female Christian Singer by NewReleaseToday (2010–2012), Laura has also been featured in CCM Magazine, Good Life, The Harvest Show, and The Marybeth Conley Show.
Yet beyond radio success and chart recognition, ministry has always remained the heartbeat of Laura’s work. She has led worship and spoken nationwide at churches, conferences, and large-scale youth gatherings, including Jesus Fest—a grassroots ministry that united more than 1,000 youth monthly from over 150 youth groups across a seven-year span. She also founded LifeThirst Worship Concerts & Outreach Events, partnering with national ministries and apologetics speakers over an eight-year period, where many came to Christ or recommitted their lives to Him.
Through her nonprofit organization, Laura Kaczor Ministries, Inc., she continues to pursue outreach that integrates music, teaching, and evangelism.
Laura is also Founder and Speaker of Lift Up U women’s and girls’ events, where she has shared a message of identity, purity, self-worth, and restoration through Jesus Christ. Her heart is to see lives healed and transformed through the power of God’s Word and presence.
After stepping back to focus on her family—including walking through her son’s successful open-heart surgery and later welcoming the birth of her daughter—Laura embraced a sacred season of healing and strength. Now, she returns with renewed clarity and deeper conviction.
She is currently recording with Dove Award–winning producer Nick Schwarz (CAIN, Ben Fuller, Leanna Crawford, Jamie MacDonald) on her fifth studio album, set for release in 2026. This new music reflects seasons of perseverance, faith, and the unchanging love of Christ, carrying both maturity and hope for a new generation of listeners.
FROM THE HEART OF LAURA
REFINED THROUGH FIRE
A Season That Deepened the Songs
“I wrote ‘You Make Me Brave’ years before I was even pregnant. The day before traveling for my son’s open-heart surgery, I received the produced version. I listened to it on repeat for hours and realized the Lord had written courage into my story long before I knew I would need it.” — Laura Kaczor
During the recording of Restore Me, Laura walked through one of the most defining seasons of her life as her infant son underwent open-heart surgery. Songs once written in faith became lifelines in uncertainty.
Through that wilderness season of fear, prayer, and surrender, she learned to trust God beyond what she could control. Laura and her husband felt the closeness of the Lord carrying them through as never before. Today, she sees His faithfulness not only in her son’s complete healing, but in the deeper resilience and intimacy with Christ that continue to shape her family, her music, and her ministry.
That season did not weaken her calling—it refined it. The songs of Restore Me now carry a living testimony: the Lord is faithful in the valley, not only on the mountaintop.
A HEART FOR THE NEXT GENERATION
“I have a heart for young girls and understand their struggles. Whether it’s shame, identity, self-worth, or hidden wounds, God wants to heal that place in their heart. When His grace shines in the place you’ve been hiding, it makes the ugliness beautiful.” — Laura Kaczor
From a young age, Laura has carried a deep compassion for girls struggling with shame, insecurity, identity, and self-worth. That compassion grew even deeper after the heartbreaking loss of a beautiful young family friend who lost her battle with depression and tragically left this world too soon. Laura dedicated her Restore Me album in her honor — a project born out of love, hope, and the longing to see young hearts restored before the enemy convinces them otherwise.
Through Lift Up U events and outreach ministry, Laura speaks openly about purity, healing, identity, and restoration in Christ.
Her passion is to help girls and women of all ages encounter Jesus in a way that brings freedom, confidence, and lasting transformation. Whether leading worship, mentoring, or writing songs, Laura’s calling extends beyond music — she longs to see the next generation secure in who they are and whose they are through the unfailing, matchless love of the Lord Jesus Christ.
“Music is such a powerful part of our world—it’s one of the most effective ways to communicate a message. I’ve always believed 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 that it is! It amazes me how music can bridge generational and cultural barriers and truly touch a person’s heart. That’s what excites me most—and what keeps me singing every day.”
“It’s not the artist—it’s the Lord using their songs. That’s what I want.”
“For me, music is ministry. If it’s not about ministry, it won’t last. But if it is, there’s always work to be done.”
“I want this generation to experience the presence and love of God like I did. That makes it all worth it.”
