April Meservy is a singer from Reno, Nevada, and a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. April sings locally, but has also been invited to sing in venues around the world, and has been featured on television. She combines musical styles and lists the following as influences: Indie, Acoustic, Pop/Rock, Christian, Contemporary Gospel, Jazz, Alternative Folk, R&B, Blues, World, Electro-Pop, Dance. She's independently produced by Forêt d'Musique (Jèrriais: "Forest of Music").
She's won Pearl Awards: "Studio Vocalist of the Year" in 2004, 2005, and 2006 as well as awards for "Contemporary Recording of the Year" in 2005 and "Devotional Recorded Song" in 2007. She also recently received an award from the Interfaith Power & Light Earth Song Competition for her song "Marks of My Path" (to be released soon on her upcoming record).
April's debut album, "Harvest of Change," is slated for a 2009 release. April's album is unusually diverse in style and sound - songs range from slow, introspective piano ballads to bossa nova to upbeat guitar-based grooves. In "More of Less," the moving rhythms of a Prague orchestra offer statements of gratitude in the midst of loss. One thing remains the same, however: April means what she sings about. "Change and growth create diversity. I don't think I can express change with any one particular sound, so this album will be somewhat diverse. It feels more natural to me this way. I write in different styles to put into music different moments of my life." (From April's Facebook page.) [1]
