Biography

I'm so excited to be leading Solfire this year! Music has always been a huge passion of mine, especially choir and playing the piano. In high school, I had the opportunity to student-direct a choir, and that experience confirmed that this was the path I wanted to pursue. I also love being part of my church's worship team, working with students, and catching up with friends over coffee. Fun fact about me is that I've attended 9 different schools since kindergarten.

Hi, I’m Keziah! Moorhead has been my home for more than 15 years. But somehow, I still have minimal ability to find my way around our neighboring city of Fargo – it’s kinda embarrassing. When not playing the piano, I love to be outdoors. I also really like to bake, the only problem with that being I don’t need a whole batch of stuff for just myself.
