Jennifer Knapp is a Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter, author, speaker, and advocate, known for her musical talents and commitment to social causes. With a rich history spanning over two decades, Knapp has left an indelible mark on the music industry.
Her career includes the remarkable achievement of selling over one million albums with her first three releases: the Gold-certified Kansas (1998), Lay It Down (2000), and The Way I Am (2001). Alongside this commercial success, Knapp has been honored with four Dove Awards and garnered two Grammy nominations. In 2024 she released the 25th anniversary re-recording of her acclaimed debut with Kansas 25.
Hailing from Kansas, Knapp’s musical journey has taken her across the globe, sharing stages with renowned artists like Jars of Clay and gracing the prestigious Lilith Fair Tour in 1999 and 2010. Her artistry has been lauded for its poignant exploration of the human experience intertwined with themes of spirituality.
Despite reaching the pinnacle of her career, Knapp embarked on a transformative hiatus in 2002, only to return seven years later with a renewed sense of purpose and passion for music. Her comeback album, Letting Go (2010), debuted at No. 73 on the Billboard Hot 200 Chart, marking a triumphant return to the spotlight.
In addition to her musical endeavors, Knapp is a trailblazer in advocacy, notably becoming the first major artist in the Christian music realm to openly discuss LGBTQ+ identity. This courageous stance sparked national dialogue and led to appearances on influential platforms like Larry King Live and the TEDx stage. In 2012, she founded the non-profit organization Inside Out Faith, dedicated to advocating for LGBTQ+ rights within faith communities.
Continuing to evolve as an artist and activist, Knapp recently completed a master’s degree in theological studies at Vanderbilt Divinity School, further solidifying her commitment to advancing social justice through music and discourse.
Jennifer Knapp’s multifaceted talents and unwavering dedication to advocacy make her a true Renaissance woman, inspiring audiences worldwide with her music and message of inclusivity and acceptance.
Continuing her streak of creative collaborations, Joanne has continued to unveil a string of releases showcasing her musical versatility and exploration into new sonic territories, further establishing her as a dynamic and influential force in the blues-rock world.
