April Peters

Biography of APRIL JAMES PETERS

~

April Peters believes in love and purposeful living. When April sings, she tenderly touches a song, pressing on every word with significant understanding. Her voice tips the scales as she ranges from light melodies to deep and smoky hues, drawing pictures with each note. Born in Philadelphia, she was sure of knowing one thing — her destiny was song. But it was the revelation that songs and words could remind people of how much they are loved by God that opened her heart even more to singing.
Having witnessed and experienced abuse in her life, she wants her songs to be a hand of healing that holds the heart of the abused and discouraged.
Her single, “Opportunity for Love,” is about keeping the heart open to hope and healing. It’s about overcoming hurt and abuse, extending forgiveness, and being set free. The forthcoming EP, Early Bloomer, is a conceptual project that tells the story of growing up too soon and navigating life, loss and love. Early Bloomer is targeted for release in spring 2010.
“I want to communicate with people in my language, in their language, in many languages. Music is a language.”

While studying in Paris for her Master's degree, April performed solo in lounges and restaurants, hosted open mics and sang background for local artists. She also circuited the fashion and beauty world, working in the magazine industry in New York city.
During her undergraduate studies at Lincoln University of PA, April founded a women’s outreach organization, Lilies of Lincoln, to provide support and resources for female students’ spiritual and emotional growth. Now, she’s invited to inspire and speak to young women on issues of identity, self-esteem, and values in hopes of helping them find their purpose in life.
