Our Team

Kylie is a worship singer, vocal coach, and teacher with a longstanding passion for helping singers use their unique voices with skill, confidence, and authenticity.

She grew up in churches across independent Baptist congregations and charismatic Pentecostal settings. These environments expressed worship very differently, and experiencing both gave her an early awareness of how theology, culture, and personal convictions shape the role of music in worship.

Kylie’s love for singing and music led her to pursue professional training as a singer, vocal coach, and teacher. For more than two decades, she has held senior teaching and leadership roles within a long-established music school, mentoring and advising other teachers, designing programs, and running performance events. Her experience spans individual tuition, ensemble and choir direction, harmony training, live performance preparation, and recording environments. This breadth of responsibility has given her a deep understanding of how singers develop not only technically but relationally — within teams, communities, and real-life contexts.

As a trained vocalist herself, Kylie is well acquainted with the personal and professional challenges singers navigate throughout their development. Her own journey shapes a communication style that combines structure, clear instruction, and constructive feedback with genuine understanding and compassion. Rather than offering encouragement alone, she equips singers with practical knowledge and reliable skills so that confidence is grounded in understanding and can be applied consistently in real-world settings.

For much of her life, these two worlds — church and professional vocal work — ran in parallel. This changed when she began serving as a worship singer at one of Australia’s largest churches, where her musical training, teaching experience, and lifelong church background converged in the same setting.

Even with her experience and training, Kylie found herself uncertain about how to navigate her role as a worship singer. She wrestled with how to use her professional skills in a way that genuinely served her team and the congregation — particularly as a backing vocalist. She often relied on performance skills to bridge the gap between what she knew how to do and what the worship context seemed to require.

Through ongoing service and honest conversations with team members and leaders, Kylie discovered that her challenges were not uncommon. Many passionate and talented worship singers found themselves standing at similar crossroads — a deep desire to serve God yet uncertainty about how to stay motivated to grow in skill and excellence beyond weekend services. Experienced singers and musicians sometimes doubted their abilities in a worship context, while leaders carried the responsibility of guiding largely volunteer teams — people balancing full-time work, family life, and other commitments.

Over time, patterns emerged in these observations, revealing deeper tensions within worship environments - which seemed to arise at the intersection of sincere intentions and practical realities. These included the relationship between worship and performance, expression and reverence, personalities and background, the idea of an “audience of One” alongside the responsibility to lead and engage a congregation, reliance on technology to create unity, and the pursuit of excellence within a volunteer framework. Kylie also saw the personal struggles many singers faced: negative self-talk, anxiety, comparison with contemporary Christian Artists, uncertainty about expectations, and a greater sense of security and confidence when clear guidance and direction was provided.

Drawing on her professional teaching experience, and with the support of her leaders as she applied these insights in practice, Kylie began developing practical bridges between vocal technique, identity, confidence and worship — tools that honour both the musical and relational realities of ministry. From this process, The Kenaniah Method™ began to take shape: a biblically grounded framework designed to equip worship singers for skilful singing, prepared for purpose, and authentic worship.

Kylie believes God’s calling throughout her life has led her here — to develop resources and training that equip worship singers beyond any single location. Feedback and shared experiences from church communities around the country and the world have confirmed that these tensions are not isolated, but widely felt across cultures and denominations. Through The Kenaniah Method™, she seeks to support the global church family by helping worship singers joyfully stand in their role and bring skills that support their leaders, strengthen teams, and edify congregations.

“Kenaniah head Levite was in charge of the singing; that was his responsibility because he was skilful at it”
