Super excited to share that "Ruth (You See Me)" is coming out September 1!
South Dakota based songwriter and worship leader, Naomi Dappen began writing songs from spontaneous moments during prayer and worship nights. A pastor’s kid and the 13th of 14 children, Naomi grew up immersed in worship and prayer. Alongside her siblings, she began leading worship at 14 years old.
A wife and mother of 3, she wrote songs at the piano while her toddlers played. It was during this season, she felt God call her to write the songs on her heart. Later, she worked for a church as a worship leader until she transitioned to be the Worship Director of a young adult ministry (tre Ministries) based out of Sioux Falls, South Dakota. There, she leads worship nights and trains young adults to lead worship. Her heart’s cry is to lead people to the feet of Jesus and see his bride united in worship. She aims to write songs that the church needs to sing; songs that are based on eternal truth, prophetic songs for the next generation, and most importantly, songs that bless God’s heart. While she has many songs that local churches have carried in their Sunday morning sets and worship nights, she is new to releasing music. “As You Speak” is the first of 8 songs that will be released this year from her debut album.
Outside of Jesus and her family, she loves traveling, pretending to be Joanna Gaines, eating Indian food, and whooping her kids at MarioKart.
