Australian-born singer-songwriter Vanessa Kersting, a celebrated voice in the Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) scene, is marking a major milestone in her career with the release of The Collection. This new project brings together six fan-favorite singles that have appeared on TCM countdowns over the past four years, alongside one remix, two new tracks, and a heartfelt cover.
Since relocating to the United States in 2023, Kersting has toured extensively, continuing a journey that spans more than two decades in the Christian music industry. That same year, she earned a nomination for the CMAA People’s Choice Award for Australian Artist, further cementing her reputation as one of the genre’s most respected voices.
Kersting’s career boasts multiple placements in the TCM Top 100 Songs across 2015, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024, in addition to appearances on the TCM Christmas Top 30. Ten of her singles, including fan favorites such as “Hold The Stars,” “Here,” “All Along,” and “Fly,” have spent a combined 122 weeks in the Top 30, placing her alongside CCM luminaries like Rebecca St. James, For King & Country, and Lauren Daigle.
Produced by a roster of acclaimed talents including Ashley Gale, Josh Ham, and Israel Amoy, The Collection is more than a retrospective—it is a celebration of God’s faithfulness. “It is about remembering three truths,” Kersting shares. “God is good all the time, we are loved beyond measure, and Emmanuel, God with us, has always been and always will be.”
Beyond her music, Kersting is a qualified social worker, a background that brings depth and empathy to her songwriting. Her sound has been described as soulful, eclectic, and atmospheric, blending heartfelt lyricism with rich melodic layers. Each song invites listeners into moments of reflection, hope, and worship.
Kersting’s passion for ministry through music has taken her from Australia to stages and radio stations across New Zealand, the United States, and the United Kingdom. Featured in CCM Magazine in 2024, she continues to make an indelible mark on the global faith-based music community.
The Collection is now available wherever Christian music is streamed and purchased.
