Kimbelry McManus

Kimberly McManus began playing keyboards and singing with her family's touring band at the young age of six. She cherishes memories of sitting on the organ bench with her dad as they crafted arrangements . Her love for music continued through her college years as she was part of a year-long tour with a 6 member choir. Music remains a major part of her life today.

She has written and recorded over 220 songs, many of them individually crafted for seriously ill children throughout the world. Kimberly has also accepted a number of commissions to write and record songs and soundtracks for special events and local television. She enjoys working closely with her husband in their Oregon studio whenever their family activities provide the time.

Kimberly's influences include Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Sarah Brightman, Faith Hill, TobyMac and Shania Twain
