Early and personal life

Sarah Elizabeth Reeves was born on April 29, 1989, in Athens, Alabama. She is the daughter of John Mark "Hershey" Reeves and Tina Key Reeves and has two younger sisters and an older brother. One of her younger sisters, Mary Reeves, is in the band Only in Stories. Her father is a music producer and songwriter who helped to establish Sound Cell Studios in Huntsville, Alabama, where Sarah recorded her first album. Reeves says that when she was 15 years old, she was called by God to become a worship leader. She was married to Philip Kothlow until their divorce in 2021. In 2024 she married Bill McAdams Jr.

Music career

Reeves' music career started in 2006 with her first major-label release, Sweet Sweet Sound, an extended play that was released on April 21, 2009, from Sparrow Records. This extended play was her breakthrough release upon the Billboard magazine charts, placing No. 19 on the Christian Albums chart and No. 9 on the Heatseekers Albums. The song "Sweet Sweet Sound" peaked at No. 27 on the Christian Songs chart and at No. 24 on the Christian AC Songs chart. Her subsequent extended play, God of the Impossible, was released on April 20, 2010, with Sparrow Records. The first studio album, Broken Things, was released on July 26, 2011. She released Christmas, an independently made extended play, in 2013. Her second studio album, Acoustic Worship Covers, Vol. 1, was released on March 24, 2014.
