Katy Nichole sang her song on TikTok, now she’s #1 on Billboard

It’s easy to see why the song was such an overnight success. With a voice that brings to mind Katy Perry and the ability to write her own songs, Nichole is the full package from a marketing standpoint. On the Christian side, however, Nichole is a bonafide star. 

One of our favorite parts of Nichole’s music is that it is an extension of her faith. The lyrics for “In Jesus' Name” originated in a prayer journal she kept in order to help her contend with her anxiety. In an interview with Movie Guide, she explained that while reading through her journal, she felt called to turn her thoughts into song: 

Another aspect of this budding star is her beautiful humility. In an Instagram post, Katy is listening to the radio as they prepare to debut her single. She’s practically in tears as the hosts recount the tale of her 3-year battle with scoliosis, a particularly painful case that left her mostly confined to bed the entire time. 

When the intro concludes and her music starts up, she can’t quite hold the tears back anymore. Rather than boast or scream in celebration however, all she can bring herself to say is “Praise the Lord!” 

As for what she would consider to be a successful musical career, Nichole's comments to the Christian Beat suggest that money has nothing to do with it. 

We anticipate tons of great new Christian tunes from this phenomenal 21-year-old artist. If her comments are any indicator, then we can expect more faith-filled tunes that come from the heart.

“In Jesus' Name (The God of Possible)” is currently available on all music streaming platforms. Follow her on YouTube to keep track of her future releases.
