Jennifer Knapp is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, author, speaker and advocate. In her rich musical career, she has earned four Dove Awards and two Grammy nominations. With a considerable fan base and critical and commercial success, Knapp walked away from music in 2002 at the height of her career. After a seven-year hiatus she returned in 2010 with a renewed passion for music. As the first major artist in the Christian music world to speak openly about LGBTQ identity, her unique position created opportunities for national dialogue. In 2012 Knapp founded the non-profit organization Inside Out Faith, through which she continues to speak and perform nationally as an advocate for LGBTQ & faith issues. A true Renaissance woman, Knapp recently completed a Master’s Degree in Theological Studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School.
