Lacey Nicole Mosley, or known as Lacey Sturm, is the leading lady of the hit band Flyleaf. Performing many genres of music some include, Christian rock, Alternative rock, Post-grunge, and Hard rock. Going from a band to a solo artist and then a couple bands after that she is still rocking with Flyleaf, despite her jagged past. Born September 4, 1981 in Arlington, Texas to a single mother of six. Not the wealthiest of families, when ends could not meet, they moved from houses to house. During the years, she was a candid Atheist. At the age of ten she got into drugs, by the age of thirteen the problem worsened. "I was trying to figure out who I was and anything to separate me from my family, or to separate me from my situation at home was good to me. It was like a war zone going home." Lacey said herself. On her fourteenth Christmas, she was given a bass guitar which got her on track to the music industry. At the age of sixteen, her and her mother had gotten into a fight were the police had to get involved. To have a roof over her head, she moved to Gulfport Mississippi to live with her grandparents. In Gulfport she had attended a high school, and found a band in need of a bass player. She later joined that band, and soon became the lead vocalist and wrote some of their songs. That summer, she had bouts of depression and suicidal thoughts. "I lost my boyfriend, I lost my brothers and sisters that I watched every day, and I lost my drugs that I did. I really felt like that was the end," Quoted Lacey. "So I decided to kill myself the next day." Her grandmother had forced her to church, there she had some sort of an epiphany of her existence. Later after that, she had visited her mother in Arlington. Rather then returning to Mississippi, she stayed in Texas and formed a new band. Like the others they split, and Lacey later moved to Temple, Texas where she met drummer James Culpepper. They soon wrote songs together, and searched for a bass player. Jared Hartmann and Sameer Bhattacharya later called her asking for her to audition for their band Sporos, she did not make it into. The Sporos later broke up. Jared and Sameer later joined James and Lacey in a band called Listen. They went through two bassists until they found Pat Seals, they later became Passerby. In June 2004, they renamed their band to Flyleaf.
