Heather is the daughter of a best-selling Christian songwriter father whom she recalls sang to her since the day she was born. It was clear that the gift for writing music was in her blood when at age 6 Heather first attempts at writing began. Heather recalls being inspired to perform on stage after attending the phenomenal musical production of, "Singing In the Rain” in London, England. Throughout her teen years Heather was classically trained in voice by a wonderful teacher whom Heather credits for her success in vocal control. Heather continues to use the same techniques and exercises she was taught 25 years ago today.

Heather wrote her first fully produced song at age 13, which she proceeded to record in New York with arranger-producer Buryl Red. She stayed active throughout her University years in musical theater. Heather was also interested in acting and comedy, landing a small role as a ventriloquist (a little known and "embarrassing" fact) at the age of 12 in the movie, "True Stories", with David Byrne of the Talking Heads.

During her sophomore year at Baylor University, Heather began suffering the onset of depression and anxiety disorder, which also crippled her ability to perform. She drew inward, living alone and writing music every chance she could get. Heather subsequently changed her major to the subject she found most interesting to explore - world religion. At that point Heather knew that being a singer-songwriter was her deepest passion in life. She didn't change her desires, but her career was postponed when at the early age of 19 Heather married, had her first child 3 years later and spent the next 13 years as a stay- at -home mom. For over a decade she was devoted solely to her family and fighting to regain her mental health.

With her debut album, "Finally Free", Heather McCready re-emerged triumphantly from her silence and is quickly making up for lost time! Since 2009, Heather went on to release her four more full-length albums and speaks about mental health, it's inherrant challenges and how it has impacted her own life and family as often as she is able.

Heather currently lives in the Dallas,Texas area with her husband, Mark, and their two children, Marshall and Ruthie. When she is not in the studio or writing music, Heather is a deep thinker who loves spending time with her kids and has a passion for photographing nature and the world around her.
