Heather Thomas Van Deren has loved music since she was a little girl. She took her first piano lesson at 7 years of age, and would sing & play for anyone who would listen. From music recitals to talent contests, Heather loved, loved, loved all things music!

Although she was saved in her teens, it wasn’t until she was a young mother that God began calling her to step forward and sing for Him. Heather was with the popular ladies’ trio “Hearts to Him” for 10 years, and with the group “Rejoice” for 8 years prior. She was also active in Prison & Jail Ministry for many years. Now having almost 10 years behind her as a soloist, Heather is pursuing her songwriting, singing & speaking talents in new & exciting ventures. Her first solo CD titled “My Heart Alone” was released in 2009. Her 2nd project titled “My Heart, His Love” released in 2014. Her latest album, “Just in Time” (an all original project with several songs Heather has written – mostly Country Christian) is available now, as well. Heather has appeared on several TV programs, & her music is aired on radio stations across the world. Her music covers a number of genres from Southern Gospel to Christian Country, & even a little contemporary & jazz here & there.

Heather resides in Millsap, TX on a farm where she & her husband raise Angus show cattle. After several life-changing events, she has a new outlook on life. “God is my Shelter, my Peace. Like Gideon, I want to possess fearlessness and readiness. It’s the least I can do for my Lord.”
