Margaret Becker spent her childhood and youth growing up in Long Island, New York.   After graduating from James Madison University, she moved to Nashville, Tennessee and signed with Sparrow Records as a songwriter, touring as a backup singer.  Soon she landed a contract as a solo artist, and released her debut album, Never for Nothing.  The single, “Flight for God” was her first hit.
Margaret has earned three Dove awards, four Grammy nominations, fourteen #1 radio hits, and a plethora of accolades and awards heaped on her by the industry.
Through eleven albums over the past dozen years, Margaret has burned her way into hearts of countless thousands of fans with such searing hits as “The Hunger Stays,” “Say the Name,” “This I Know” and “Clay and Water.”  With her release, What Kind of Love, Margaret turned up the heat another notch, exploring what it meant to celebrate God in the midst of difficult situations.
In 1999, Margaret went on a self-imposed sabbatical of rediscovery.  She used this time off to explore other areas of interest.  Instead of being on the road all the time, Margaret took time to “invest in her friends and watch their families grow.”  During this time Margaret did more writing; co-writing an entire children’s series, acting as a guest columnist for Campus Life Magazine, and writing articles for numerous women’s magazines.  She also started writing books:  With New Eyes, Coming Up for Air, and Growing Up Together.
During this sabbatical, Margaret also found herself involved in composing/song writing projects with other songwriters-something that didn’t happen when she was on the road.
