Christy Nockels

by James Christopher Monger Contemporary Christian singer/songwriter Christy Nockels was born in Ft. Worth, Texas and raised in Oklahoma as the daughter of a pastor and a piano teacher. She met her future husband and musical collaborator Nathan Nockels in 1993 at a Christian Artists Seminar. The two married in 1995 and began writing the songs that would make up their debut album, Holy Roar, under the name Sons & Daughters. Upon relocating back to Texas, the duo was championed and eventually signed by Rocketown Records, a small label owned by Grammy Award-winning CCM artist Michael W. Smith. They relocated again to Nashville in 1998 and formed the highly successful Watermark, releasing five albums that resulted in both significant chart success and a handful of Dove Awards. Christy released her first solo album, Life Light Up, in 2009 on Six Step records. 更多>>
