Inspiration is not a passive act.

About Me


Minerva McGregor has been working in music, in one way or another, for 7 years. From songwriting, to promoting, to performance - she has sought to do the best with what she has available to her. With influences ranging from Paul Simon and Neil Young to Hypocrisy and Metallica, Minerva's songwriting portrays a sense of melancholy hope that will not be forsaken, despite the cost. "Many people say that my work is 'inspirational', which I disagree with", says McGregor. "I write the truth as I perceive it. If my reality is better than yours, you're certainly welcome to join me". Though Minerva clearly dedicates her music to Christ, she is wary of being labeled a 'Christian artist' - "Many people have the mistaken impression that Christian music is all praise and worship...though I enjoy that style, I find it is not what I am called to create". Minerva McGregor has returned to her solo work and is currently writing and seeking other dedicated musicians to refine a catalogue of over seventy songs. "Having written Punk and Folk for so many years, I'm honestly trying to figure out how many times I can do a one-four-five before someone slaps me". - written by J. Grazer

~Reviews of Minerva McGregor~
Teknofisch Zone :
"I am so blessed to have met this sister in Christ...when she's not promoting Indie bands hailing from the Portland area, she's hard at work studying to go into ministry, or spending time making music that conveys a wide variety of influences ranging from Aretha Franklin to the Ramones."
