Lydia Mockabee grew up singing at home, school, and church, and later performed in various social and academic settings. She came out of the womb singing and her life experiences were more memorably enriched because of the power of music. She says: "Musical expression allows me to connect more deeply in my relationships with others and it helps me to make sense of life experiences, and I hope to continually share this gift with others. Becoming a part of MVCS is a privilege as it is a group of committed vocalists and musicians with the same heart and mind: to express life experiences through song, touch hearts, and reach the community in the process."
