Pruis, who produced the self-titled collection, relocating permanently to Nashville, and touring with well-known Christian artists such as West, Michael W. Her вЂњeducationвЂќ has included songwriting sessions with Matthew West and his longtime collaborator A.J. вЂњI feel like IвЂ™ve been in school for the last couple of years without even realizing it,вЂќ says Crawford. While Crawford graduated with a degree in music business, she touts the past couple of years with tremendous growth, both personally and professionally.

the first artist to sign with WestвЂ™s new record label Story House Music, a joint venture with Provident Label Group. Soon after, the Washington-state native flew to Nashville to co-write with West, which led to a publishing deal and her first EP, 2018вЂ™sВ Crazy Beautiful You. West saw Crawford perform at an open mic and asked for her demo. This is what IвЂ™m supposed to do, and I have no idea what that looks like.вЂќ Now, as a Christian artist who has the opportunity to tour the country and release songs to encourage girls everywhere, Crawford has certainly discovered what that calling from God would look like.Д¬rawfordвЂ™s career began to take off when she met GRAMMYВ®-nominated and Dove-award winning recording artist Matthew West at a songwriting conference before her junior year of college. When she got home, she remembers telling her mom, вЂњIвЂ™ve never felt something so strong in my life. She said she actually felt called to minister to young women while she was on a mission trip in Haiti during high school. Her honesty and passion for not being enough, yet being enough in Christ, is the message Crawford is passionate about sharing, particularly to young women. With songs that speak honestly about doubt and insecurity as well as the hope Christ offers in our darkest moments, CrawfordвЂ™s listeners will find solace in her kind and wise words, while tapping their feet along to contagious, pop-inspired beats. Her sophomore self-titled EP set to release spring 2020 certainly accomplishes this.

вЂњI hope feel that I care about them even if I donвЂ™t know them,вЂќ says Crawford, вЂњthat they would feel loved and encouraged.вЂќ SheвЂ™s gained more experience than many artists do in a decade, and while her latest EP certainly displays the vocal and songwriting talent of a rising star in CCM, her grounded and honest lyrics make her feel more friend and confidante than star, more approachable than untouchable. For the past two and half years, singer-songwriter Leanna Crawford has been writing, touring, and performing with some of the biggest names in the Christian music industry.
