Katy Nichole Celebrates Upcoming Tour With Jeremy Camp: ‘God Has Blessed Me In Miraculous Ways’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Katy Nichole recently took time to reflect on her blessings as she prepares for her upcoming gig, touring with Christian artist Jeremy Camp.
When asked if she considers herself an overnight success, Nichole replied, “I don’t think anyone is. I worked really hard but God blessed me in miraculous ways.”
Nichole has been singing in church since she was 16 and started leading worship two years later, along with writing her own songs.
She released her debut EP this summer, around the same time she made her Grand Ole Opry debut. Her song “In Jesus Name” won a K-LOVE Fan Award for Worship Song of the Year.
The song also went No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart and stayed there for 12 weeks.
Speaking about her upcoming shows with Camp, she shared, “It was a no-brainer for me to want to go out with someone who’s such an incredible musician with a heart for the Lord and a heart for missions.”
Nichole continued, “I love playing shows and meeting people who listen to the songs and hearing the stories of how the songs have impacted their lives and having a night of worship and gathering together in fellowship.”
The singer also spoke about what she wanted concert goers to get out of her performances. “We will gather together to sing and praise the Lord,” she shared. “I really hope I can encourage people that God is with them, He is for them and they are loved.”
Movieguide® previously reported on the release of Nichole’s debut album:
Singer Katy Nichole has much to praise God about with the release of her self-titled debut album inspired by her journey of healing after being bedridden for three years due to scoliosis.
“These songs are my story, but I want others to see themselves in these songs,” Nichole told The Christian Post. “Ultimately, what this is about, for me, is really raising up the name of Jesus.”
Her song, “In Jesus’ Name (God of Possible)” which started as words in her prayer journal then became a viral TikTok post to hitting No. 1 on the Christian Billboard charts in March where it has remained since.
In her interview with the Christian Post she revealed that after dealing with debilitating pain and depression, it wasn’t until her second spinal surgery the “the smoke cloud of depression was gone,” marking a turning point for the singer.
“When I got my X-rays after surgery, my spine was actually straighter than when the rods had been in it. So when I say that God can do miracles, I mean it, because I’ve seen it,” Nichole said.
Her story of healing was the inspiration for her debut album that came out last week, and her newest song “God Is In this Story” (Feat. Big Daddy Weave) is currently No. 3 on the iTunes chart.
Along with commercial success, she won Worship Song of the Year for “In Jesus’ Name (God Of Possible)” at last month’s K-LOVE fan awards.
