A contemporary christian singer/songwriter and worship leader, Misty Edwards makes heartfelt folk and alternative-rock influenced music. Born in Kansas City, Missouri, Edwards was first introduced to music by her mother, who was a music teacher. At age 19, she was hired as an intern at International House of Prayer (IHOP) where she eventually began playing piano and leading worship services. It was also during this time that she began writing and performing her own songs, often drawing upon Bible verses for inspiration. She has released several albums, including 2003's Eternity, 2005's Always on His Mind, 2007's Relentless, 2009's Fling Wide, 2011's Measure of a Man, and 2013's live album Only a Shadow. Edwards remains connected to IHOP and regularly appears at its Onething conferences. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi
