Candace Sutter Bio
I started singing at the early age of two. At age eight, I started learning piano and took an early interest to composition. A music teacher took note of this and inspired me to write a hymn. This hymn was sung by the grade school choir at its Easter church service. This started a long career of writing a variety of compositions totaling over 200. I write sacred adult and children’s choir music, piano solo for early elementary to advanced pianists, wedding solos for the Christian wedding, movie theme music, snare drum and drum set solos and contemporary Christian music.
In my adult life, I performed at the Galaxy of Stars competition in Grand Island, Nebraska in 2007. I got 4th place that day, and had met Wynne while at the competition. She kept in contact with me for some years past 2007, always encouraging me to continue my career in singing and song writing. In 2017, I started a new company, Musical Journey Publications, LLC to re-enter the world of publishing my music. Where I have been published by other companies, I felt it the best fit to publish under my own company with the amount of varieties that I compose. I had a concert in March, 2015, introducing various choir selections from the seasons of the church year, and also a full half concert of my piano solo music. In July, 2018, I had a “Christmas in July” concert, portraying my secular Christmas solo music for new traditions and sacred choir Christmas music the first half, and then my contemporary Christian music the second half.
After my July concert, I published my Jesus is the Light contemporary Christian worship series book. It was then that I reached out to Wynne to discuss my options in the next steps of my life in the songwriter and artist world. I went to Nashville to record Here Am I, She Taught Him How to Pray, and Open Up for Us the Gates of Heaven. These are due to release this summer of 2019.

Candace Sutter Open Your Heart EP Open Your Heart is my debut album for Christian worship. God calls each of us to open our hearts to Him to study His Word and give Him all the praise and glory in everything we do. “Open Up for Us the Gates of Heaven” is a song of praise that focuses on the many roles of our Lord. In Psalm 118, the psalmist gives thanks to Him and asks God to open the gates of righteousness that he might enter. The Gospel of 1 Peter 1 says that Jesus was chosen, even before the world began, to be our Savior from sin. Like the psalmist, we too must give thanks and sing His praise! Inspired by Psalm 127 and Proverbs 31, I wrote “She Taught Him How to Pray” to discuss the role God has given a mother. Children are a gift from the Lord. A mother is to speak with wisdom and give Instruction to her children as they grow. She cannot do this on her own, but rather with the love and help of God Himself. This wisdom can then be passed on to her children’s children. |
“Here Am I” is very personal to me. God has given many the opportunity to share His Word in numbers of ways. With the gift of music and writing, God gives me this opportunity to be one who uses His gift by sharing His Word through my songs. Nothing gives me greater honor and glory to fill this role as His servant. As Isaiah said in chapter 6, I, too, pray “Here am I! Send me! Send me!” Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord...” He knows the plans He has for me, and also for you. ~ Candace Sutter
