27 November 2017 - Nashville, TN - Black River Christian's Hannah Kerr has a lot to be thankful for as she heads in to the Christmas season with her first hit single, “Warrior.” Prior to Thanksgiving day when most Christian radio stations switch to playing Christmas music, "Warrior" was at No. 17 on the Christian AC Indicator chart and No. 23 on both the Christian AC and Christian Airplay charts. “Warrior” has been streamed more than 2.7 million times and Overflow, the album including the hit single "Warrior," has been streamed more than 3.8 million times.

About Hannah Kerr: Hannah Kerr, the first artist signed to Black River Christian, released her Christmas EP, Emmanuel, on October 20. The six-song project also features two originals co-written by Kerr. Her newest single “Warrior” from her debut full-length album titled Overflow, produced by Sawyer Brown’s lead singer and Casting Crowns’ producer Mark Miller, continues to climb the charts. Overflow has been streamed over three million times and also includes the Top 25 hit “Radiate.” The success of Overflow and her constant touring has allowed “Warrior” to become a recognizable fan favorite and it has been streamed over two million times. The new single, “Warrior,” as well as a pop-infused “Warrior (Battle Cry Remix),” are available now at all digital retailers and streaming services. Kerr has toured with such major artists as Casting Crowns, Matt Maher, Building 429, Jonny Diaz, and Matt Hammitt, as well as sharing the stage with for KING & COUNTRY, Newsboys, and Kari Jobe. Matt Maher’s hit single, “Your Love Defends Me,” is co-written by Kerr and climbing up the Christian Radio charts. Kerr frequently leads worship at contemporary churches across the country as her ministry extends beyond radio and touring. She has been named the 1st Ambassador for Youth For Tomorrow’s Jodi McQueen Therapeutic Music & Arts Center and “YFT Heart Beats” campaign. Kerr partnered with Love Your Melon, an organization dedicated to fighting childhood cancer, to create limited edition “Warrior” Love Your Melon beanies. While handling a busy career, Kerr attends Belmont University in its Ministry and Worship program.

Hannah Kerr began publicly singing at the age of five in her hometown church in Buffalo, N.Y. Even though she grew up in a musical family, she never aspired to become a singer. Eventually Kerr’s family moved to Nashville, Tennessee when she was a teenager and she started approaching her musical talents with the heart of a worshipper and started songwriting and performing. One of her recordings caught the ear of Sawyer’s Brown lead singer and Casting Crowns producer, Mark Miller, and he affirmed Kerr’s calling for a music ministry. She became the flagship artist for Black River Christian.
