Bethany started playing guitar at age 10, with Jennifer Knapp serving as an early influence.[1] Dillon’s musical career began at age 13, recording an independent album (Vulnerable) that ended up in the hands of EMI executive Brad O’Donnell. Audiences connected with her first record almost immediately, and the results included several hit singles, multiple Dove nods, critical acclaim, and an exponentially increasing grassroots fan base that propelled her career forward in great leaps.
For me:
At first i was trying to pick, just one album of hers and do the usual first though but i couldn't decide which one to pick. I really love her music. It's inspiring, calming, beautiful musically and lyrically. It was always give me a smile when i listen to her. Acoustic or studio versions, both perfect. And it's funny that her songs fit so well to all my imaginary characters. I don't really wanna say more..this time i prefer you to listen. I know she is a Christian musician but whatever your doubts are (cause i had many), i believe she deserves a shot.The songs talk about belief in "You" but that doesn't mean the god necessarily.Every song speaks different and that "you" can be anything.At least that's what i believe. I will include my favourite songs of her in the post.
