Early life

Kerrie Roberts grew up as a daughter to a pastor and a church choir director.[2] It is because of this that Roberts spent a lot of time in the church during her childhood. Roberts began performing music at the age of 5, singing in her mom's church choir.[2] According to her YouTube autobiography, she was so small that she had to stand on a milk crate in order for the congregation to see her.[2] This experience eventually led to her playing piano and leading worship music in the church.[3] Roberts' music revolved solely around her parents' church until high school, at which point she began writing her own songs.[3] This writing continued while she attended college at the University of Miami; she graduated with a degree in studio music and jazz vocal.[4]

Music career

After college, Roberts began her music career. Her first release was a standalone single called "It Is Well with Me."[1] The one-track single was released independently in September 2005.[5]

She released her album Kerrie Roberts and it peaked on the Billboard magazine's Christian Albums chart at #29.[6] Three singles from the album charted on Billboard's Hot Christian Songs chart; "No Matter What" hit No. 9, "Outcast" at No. 29, and "Take You Away" at No. 28.[7]
