April’s songwriting is as skilled as it is heartfelt. She is no stranger to struggles, having suffered with anorexia and depression as an adolescent, but she experienced the mighty power of Jesus when a Christian friend prayed for her healing, and her mental health problems stopped immediately. Her testimony and songs are a powerful combination which she brings together during her acclaimed performances, including on the BBC stage at the internationally renowned Hay Festival of Literature and the Arts in 2017.

BBC Introducing’s Hereford and Worcester presenter Andrew Marston said, “April has some incredible stories to tell and some very deep and meaningful lyrics. A rising star on the local scene, with inspiring songs from somebody who just wants to help others.” His words reflect the profound response April has received from listeners across the UK and beyond. Reviews on social media have been unanimously 5 stars, and recommendations include: “You are a wonderful inspiration to so many.”

For new and growing Christians seeking faith-building, authentic Christian music, April Shipton is one to watch and Panoramic is a must-add to your playlist.
