About Marshal McKellar

Marshal McKellar is best known as a songwriter who spent much of his life writing and singing Gospel music at home and in church before ever pursuing it publicly. Raised by older parents who encouraged his musical gifts, he began singing solos in church at age five and learned guitar shortly after. As a teenager, he played in country bands, opening for major artists like Vince Gill and Conway Twitty, but the lifestyle left him conflicted. At age 33, after a powerful spiritual moment while listening to evangelist David Ring, Marshal committed his life fully to Christ and stepped away from secular music. Not long after, friendships with members of the Crabb Family encouraged him to take his songwriting seriously, though he continued to keep much of his music private for years.

Marshal later found inspiration in the growing Nashville Christian Country sound through producer Rick Schweinsberg, blending his country roots with his faith. His songwriting gained attention when Gary Russ recorded one of his songs, leading Marshal to fulfill a lifelong dream of recording his own material. His release, “Talking to Your Chair,” co-written with Cynthia Reamy, was inspired by a friend grieving her father and reflects Marshal’s heart for creating music that comforts and ministers to listeners. Today, he remains committed to Gospel-centered music, using his life experiences and songwriting to encourage others through faith-driven storytelling.
