outh Dakota based songwriter and worship leader, Naomi Dappen began writing songs from spontaneous moments during prayer and worship nights.

A pastor’s kid and the 13th of 14 children, Naomi grew up immersed in worship and prayer.

From leading worship at conferences, worship nights, or a simple living-room prayer set, her heart’s cry is to lead people to the feet of Jesus and be part of the restoration of His bride. She aims to write songs that tell stories and are a source of healing. She recently finished her MDiv and is currently wrapping up her MACO degree, as well as serving as a teacher and mentor for young adults who want to grow as worship leaders.

Outside of Jesus and her family, she loves traveling, pretending to be Joanna Gaines, eating Indian food, and whooping her kids at MarioKart.
