His CDs are being played on radio stations all over the world and he is now touring worldwide.

DENISE HENSLEY KISER began her music career at age eight, with her first public appearance at eleven. By age thirteen, she was the pianist at her local church where she had been dedicated to the position for over 40 years, also sharing as music director. By age fourteen she was professionally recording. She is an accomplished singer/songwriter. Her music has also been shared through television media for over 22 years on various networks.

Denise is a cousin to Virginia Patterson Hensley, the late, legendary Patsy Cline. She naturally transitioned from singing into songwriting as a teen. With a distinctive vocal style, her songs range from Traditional Hymns to Southern Gospel, Ballads, Light Jazz, Intimate Worship, Christian Country, and Bluegrass.

Denise’s ability to be “real and transparent” enables her audience to see and feel the authenticity and passion for her gifts of music.
