Lacey Sturm of Flyleaf Explains The “Drop” Of Being A Rockstar

Over the past 20 years, you’d be hard pressed to find many people as influential in rock and roll as Korey Cooper and @Lacey Sturm . As part of @Skillet and @Flyleaf (respectively), their songwriting has been at the forefront of shaping modern purpose-driven rock as we know it. They also happen to be frequent collaborators and longtime friends.

On this extra special episode of Trevor Talks, Lacey joins Trevor to co host an interview with Korey Cooper. This is a conversation that touches on Skillet’s new album Dominion and Lacey’s recent single “Awaken Love” (co-written with Korey). But it also goes much deeper. This is your opportunity to be in the room as Korey and Lacey talk about the demands of being called to music, touring with their families, their unique spiritual synergy in the cowriting process, and what hope they would offer to anyone struggling with depression and despair.

Flyleaf, don't think I could have got through those teen years without em.

[ve_xxy]

The way she controls her voice is absolutely gorgeous and impressive

[mercuryactualB]

Lacey talked to me while I served in iraq in 2007-2008. I appreciated her words of support. Thank you

[scirlouie]

Her tone and vocals are so unique and powerful. I feel "Fully Alive" when she sings

[McClane]

She’s right. It’s a “drop”. A lot of work, time away from family, and money tied up into something that’s essentially a drug. Being onstage is incredible, even more incredible when people SOMEHOW sing your songs back to you. When the show is over, it’s over, and the grind begins again. It’s not for everybody and I think it’s great that she just hit on the feeling of “now what?” It’s honesty I don’t hear very often from those who actually do this. Shaun Morgan is the only other musician I’ve heard say this in an interview.

I know others have touched on this, but I don’t hear it often.

[DGDLandy]

Saw them at sick new world, huge honor. Never thought I'd ever see them live.

[thisissentimentalillness]

Definitely the hardest aspect is the drop after the show. Monumental, in fact. I love that Lacey is talking about this.

[donnavarone]

So happy you are all back in Flyleaf. Please come to CT!! ❤

[EliAlexanderClark]

I got really close with all of the Flyleaf dudes and their second singer when Kristin was behind the helm. Everyone of these people is a rock, solid musician and person.

[leftyshredder]

Cant help it Lacey is still one of my teenage crushes. Her voice and personality and of course shes absolutely beautiful. Shes a amazing person!❤❤

[HannahsMoviesAndMusic]

Recently became a fan of them, and I can't believe I didn't discover them sooner. Fricking incredible band 💖

[shanbear]

Lacy, you were a huge release from my youth when I was a single mother years to my single years. I am forever grateful/thankful to you, the band and God that you became a part of my mental health! 🤗❤️💞💕

[batmoebiel]

Arise and broken wings are 2 of my many favs from them

[Super_Beast]

Even today, you're still beautiful Lacey. Love this band, helped me thru some dark times, that's for sure.

[zanefields]

I LOVE Flyleaf!! LOVE Lacey Sturm! God bless them!

[HexualPlaything]

Lacey has always been a huge part of my musical journey as a musician. As a female vocalist she has always been a hero and someone I looked up to for melodic and harsh vocals. She's the reason I even got vocal lessons for harsh vocals. I hope to see them again as I saw them last before she was even a mom.

[AveSinistra]

i saw and met them when they were at the hard rock in SC they opened for bullet for my valentine they were so down to earth an cool

[evenhasawatermark]

She is one of the most amazing humans to ever exist. So much talent, I'm glad she was able to share it with the world!

[TheLastWhiteKid]

Thank you FlyLeaf for the somgs that helped me wrestle with my faith in my teenage years.

[ericaamericas]

When I lived back home in Mississippi, I hung out with these white kids. They were my friends. I learned about Flyleaf bc of them. Flyleaf was coming to a small town and one of my friends wanted to invite me to her parents house so I could see them perform. Her parents chewed her out when they found out I was Black. Didn’t get a chance to see them that time. Still so happy I found out about this band.
