Erin Reilly + Musician in Manassas, VA

SEEKING

ABOUT

I’m a born again Christian, singer and songwriter. I play keyboard, viola and violin in rock, jazz and acoustic genres.

My ultimate goal is to share the truth and hope of the gospel of Jesus Christ to a hurting, broken world. I'm a born again Christian who left a life of making worldly music while trying to be a Christian. God convicted my heart and exposed how much people need Jesus right now and how selfish I'd be to waste my talents on an empty worldly ambition, so he changed my heart and I am driven to use my God given talents to glorify Him and Him alone, and point people to Christ. I'm hoping to find other like-minded Christian musicians to collaborate with. Please message me if you're interested.

Influences

I'm a trained professional musician, with a music education degree from Shenandoah Conservatory. I grew up studying classical and jazz music, and have performed in numerous ensembles from symphony orchestras to jazz bands and everything in between. I got into singing and rock music about 5 years ago, and my influences of jazz and rock heavily influence my music writing. I've gotten to work with a few major musicians along the way including Wynton Marsalis, Che Hung Chen, Doris Lederer, Jan Wagner, David Little and Jeff Williams.

I got saved 4 years ago, and have since then grown in my walk with Christ and have made a decision to make music for His glory instead of worldly music with empty messages. I had to walk away from a lot of my inner circle of colleagues because I took a stand for my faith, so because of that I'm starting over and building a new network of musicians to create music with.
