“Worship is more than just a topic, setlist, genre, or a label. It truly is a lifestyle, posture and an intentional act. And so I set my heart on worship as the motivation and inspiration behind what I do and create.”
— Mount Carmell

Worship
I’m a singer, songwriter and musician. Music is an important part of my identity—it is an outlet for creative expression, ministry, exploring ideas, and processing lived experiences of human existence. We were created for worship.
