Aryn Michelle

Aryn Michelle is a faith-based songwriter, recording artist and mother of four from Dallas, TX.

Aryn Michelle began her career pursuing the mission to be a "light in the darkness" by writing secular music from a Christian perspective. She attended the acclaimed Berklee College of Music in Boston where she was given the Scott Benson Award for songwriting. Soon after leaving Boston she released her first two albums of positive, secular music.

After returning to Dallas she was recognized for her songwriting by being named TexasCSA's 2010 Songwriter of the Year, winning KLTY's 2010 Chick-fil-A Celebrate Freedom Jingle Competition and being a national top ten finalist in the 2011 Foldgers' Jingle Writing Contest.

Aryn began recording distinctly faith-based music in 2014 when she felt confirmed in her calling to write insightful and thoughtful songs for the people of the church. In 2014 she was named Female Artist and Writer of the Year at Gospel Music Association's Immerse Competition.

In 2015, she released Depth, an album made up of theologically heavy questions to coax listeners to reconsider their own faith in light of biblical truth. In 2017 she released The Realest Thing, a concept album inspired by Christian apologetics where each song explores a different philosophical argument for the existence of God. It was named one of Kevin Davis's TOP 10 Albums of the Year 2017 for New Release Today. In 2019 Aryn released an EP of prayer and praise songs entitled "Nothing Can Take Me Away."

Aryn's emotive, alternative pop musical style is "unlike anyone you've ever heard in Christian music." (Christiandance.eu) She strives to engage the mind as well as the heart so that the truth of scripture resonates with the listener in a fresh way. Aryn Michelle's latest project "Pariah" (a concept album about biblical outcasts) is releasing as singles all throughout 2021/2022 and has already won awards from The Great American Song Contest and Worshiptherock.com.
