“I’m so, so excited to release ‘Living Sacrifice’ to radio and to digital stores today,” Kinleigh said. “It's been such a fun journey receiving and working on this project! The song, written by the talented songwriting duo, Mike and Deanna Geier, is a wonderful song that is absolutely my heart and prayer. I found it amazing that the song resonated so much with me even though I did not write this song myself. I pray that every person that hears ‘Living Sacrifice’ will be captured by the message as much as I was!"

“Living Sacrifice,” produced by Sean Hill at Uphill Recording Studios,” follows the success of “Sail On,” the first single released from Kinleigh’s debut EP, “Beautiful Mess,” and “Beautiful Mess,” the title track. “Sail On” aired on more than 1,500 radio outlets worldwide and was the No. 2 song of 2015 on the Christian Radio Chart (CRC).

Mike and Deanna Geier, who penned “Living Sacrifice,” are a husband and wife duo who began their music careers more than 15 years ago in Hollywood, California. The couple works out of The Hidden Studio and have a placement studio named Velvet Rope Records. The songwriters have written and produced songs for independent and major label artists, as well as writing theme and background music for shows appearing on NBC, The CW, ABC, NICK, MTV and VH1. Their music also has been featured on national movie trailers and commercials. The Geiers were named Songwriters of the Year for the 12th Annual ChristianSongwriting.com international competition hosted by CM United.

Kinleigh has spent much of the year touring. This past February and March, Kinleigh toured throughout the Southeast and South with Crabb and singer Natasha Owens. She followed up those dates with a 17-date North American tour with Kutless, Christian rock band 7eventh Time Down and Owens. One year ago, to celebrate the release of her debut EP, Kinleigh performed a duet with Dove Award winning vocalist Mark Schultz at two of the chapel services at The Chapel, Green Campus in Uniontown, Ohio.

Kinleigh, who has been involved with music ministry since she was young, currently leads worship each week at her father’s church. Her music career has included singing the National Anthem at minor league baseball games, co-directing and acting in local theatrical productions and singing as a soloist for weddings and other events. Kinleigh signed with McLaughlin Music Group for development and management in May 2014 and signed her record deal with INOV8 Music Group in July 2015.
