Montreal native and singer Kathy Veer has performed  everywhere from churches to cafés to concert halls.  She developed a  keen interest for music at the tender age of four, listening to artists  like Al Martino, Sarah Vaughn, Dionne Warwick, and the Supremes.  At the  age of eleven, she joined the school choir and it so inspired her, that  she wrote her first song.  Her music teacher was amazed, and sent her  song to Anne Murray to be recorded.  Though nothing materialized, Kathy  did perform the song with the school choir at their year end concert.

      At the age of fourteen, Kathy gained an interest in the  drum set.  The next year she was chosen to play drums for her high  school’s nationally acclaimed big band (through the Canadian Stage Band  Festival).  She held that chair through grade twelve, and went on to  play for the City of Edmonton big band for another year.  At twenty,  Miss Veer entered music school where she earned an associate’s degree in  music composition.  She also started singing with various jazz, pop,  rock, and country groups and earned her living as a working musician  through the 1980s.

     Kathy enjoyed many musical opportunities, but the flip  side of that was the fast lane and the night life.  Her existence  spiraled into an emptiness that over-shadowed her life in a profound  way.  She had met the Lord Jesus at age thirteen, but wasn’t ever  serious about him until this crisis.  At age twenty-seven, with no hope  left for living, Kathy gave her heart to Jesus Christ.  It was the best  decision she ever made.  Of course her life didn’t get tidied up in an  instant.  But before too long, God had set her feet on a straight path,  and good things began to happen.

     In 1992, Miss Veer felt God was calling her back to  school.  She went to study at Toccoa Falls College in Toccoa, Georgia,  majoring in psychology and Christian counseling.  After receiving her  bachelor’s degree, she proceeded to work in this field over the next  year.  But she knew in her heart this was not the profession for her.   She hadn’t made any other plans, and was listening intently for what God  might have in store for her.

     The Lord showed her His will in a mighty way when he  brought a husband into her life.  He was a minister and loved God.   Soon, they knew the Lord was calling them to marry.  They wed in 1997,  and pursued various types of ministries over the years.  Prison ministry  has been a big part of their lives.  Kathy set up a choir and rhythm section  at Augusta State Medical Prison, and directed that group for about  three years.  Later, God opened the door for Kathy to direct a small  church choir in Gibson, Georgia.  She was there for five years.

     Kathy Veer currently offers concerts in church sanctuary  settings, and ministers along side her husband through various venues.  But her greatest desire is to see people saved and walking in close fellowship with the Lord, Jesus  Christ.
