Christy Nockels is the daughter of a pastor and a piano teacher, which infused her heart early with a love for both music and God’s word. Christy met her husband Nathan in 1993. They married in 1995, and the two began serving as worship leaders in their local church in Oklahoma City. It was after Christy and Nathan moved to Texas that they were “discovered” by Rocketown Records. Eventually they signed a recording contract as “Watermark” and moved to Nashville, Tennessee in 1998. Together as Watermark, Christy and Nathan recorded five albums. They have been nominated for numerous Dove Awards, including Christy’s nominations for Female Vocalist of the Year. Christy and Nathan felt led to end their Watermark season to focus on other areas of ministry. This gave Christy more time at home with their children, and more availability to focus on leading worship. Christy’s heart through leading worship and song writing is to help people communicate intimately with the living God, and to leave a legacy of proclaiming Jesus’ fame to this generation. Christy and Nathan now live in Atlanta, Georgia. Christy’s most treasured legacy is her three children, Noah, Elliana, and Annie Rose.

In addition to their own CDs, the Nockels have appeared on discs with Selah; Matt Redman; Todd Agnew; Point of Grace; Chris Tomlin; Ronnie Freeman; Bart Millard; Phillips, Craig, & Dean; and on numerous compilations.
