Early life

[edit]

DiMarco was born on January 28, 1985, in Niagara Falls, New York,[2][3] as Kristene Elizabeth Mueller to Douglas Edward Mueller and Dianne B. Mueller (née Mielke), and she has three sisters. Her parents are born-again Christians.[2]

Music career

[edit]

Kristene grew up in Niagara Falls, New York and attended Destiny Christian Church with her family. In 2002, when Kristene was 16 years old, a new worship leader came on staff at the church. After being asked to join the worship team she began learning to play the piano. A year later, her worship leader asked her to lead a song for the first time. From that point on, she began writing worship music and leading songs on Sunday mornings with guidance from her worship leader. Upon graduating High School, Kristene moved to Kansas City [which?] and attended the International House of Prayer as an intern. From there, Kristene moved to San Francisco.[citation needed]

Her music recording career commenced in 2008, with the album, Those Who Dream, and it was released on December 9, 2008 by Jesus Culture Music, with a re-release from Kingsway Music of the same album on July 13, 2010. The album was reviewed by Cross Rhythms.[4] She released, Safe Place, on April 10, 2012 by Kingsway Music. The album was reviewed by Cross Rhythms,[5] Indie Vision Music,[6] Jesus Freak Hideout twice,[7] Louder Than the Music,[8] and New Release Tuesday.[9]

She has appeared on Bethel Music's album, You Make Me Brave, performing the single, "It Is Well", and this charted on the Billboard magazine song chart, Hot Christian Songs, reaching a peak of No. 27.[10][11] In the spring of 2016, Bethel Music announced that DiMarco would be joining their Collective.[12]

Personal life

[edit]

Kristene is married to Jordan DiMarco, and they have two children, daughter Lorelai Praise[13] and son Nicodemus León.[14] They reside in San Diego, California.
