Patrick Mayberry

Patrick Mayberry is a singer, songwriter, and worship leader passionate about helping people connect with the heart of God through music and corporate worship. His breakout EP Holy Spirit Come sparked the multi-format Billboard radio hit of the same name, followed by his debut single “Breakthrough Miracle Power.” Mayberry’s first full-length album, Wild Faith (Centricity Music), invites listeners to boldly explore life with God, featuring the Air1-premiered “Easy To Praise,” the Billboard No. 1 hit “Lead On Good Shepherd,” and the title track with Kalley Heiligenthal. Touring with artists such as Crowder, Pat Barrett, and We The Kingdom, he engages audiences with humor, warmth, and poetic praise. A sought-after songwriter, his work has been recorded by Passion, Chris Renzema, and North Point Worship. Mayberry lives in Franklin, TN, with his wife Jenny and their four children.
