Today we’d like to introduce you to Macaiah Campbell.
Alright, so thank you so much for sharing your story and insight with our readers. To kick things off, can you tell us a bit about how you got started?
My name is Caiah — a singer, a storyteller, a worship leader, and a woman learning how to grow gracefully in every season God walks me through. I was raised in a big, blended family full of love, laughter, sharp honesty, and deep faith. My roots run through the Campbells, Pearsons, Johnsons, Joneses — people who shaped me, challenged me, and ultimately helped me become the woman I’m still becoming.
Music has always been my safe place, but worship is where I learned who I really am. Leading worship taught me how to surrender, how to listen, how to let God move through me even when I feel small. It taught me that my voice isn’t just something I “use” — it’s something God breathes through. That’s why I sing the way I sing: honest, soulful, and full of heart.
And then came my husband, Jireh — my best friend, my home, my safe place in human form. Loving him has stretched me, healed me, and taught me more about God’s character than I ever expected. He’s the producer, the musician, the leader, the protector, the gentle voice that speaks to me in ways I can understand. Together, as “The Campbells,” we’re building a life that honors God, honors love, and honors the people we’ve been called to serve.
My family is still my foundation. Every auntie, cousin, sibling, parent — they show up, show love, and show me what community really looks like. Their support, their prayers, their presence… it all lives in me. It’s why my art feels personal. It’s why my worship feels lived-in. Their stories sit inside my voice every time I sing.
Today, I’m an indie-pop/folk artist, a worship leader, a wife, a creative entrepreneur, and a woman who believes in showing up authentically. My music, my content, my marriage, my business — it all reflects the same truth: God has never failed me. Not once.
I’m still becoming softer, stronger, braver, and more grounded. But with God ahead of me, my husband beside me, and my family behind me, I’m stepping boldly into every new season, ready to tell the story He continues to write through me.
Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
I’ve walked through some dark seasons — seasons where depression, anger, imposter syndrome, and even suicidal thoughts tried to convince me that I wasn’t enough, that I wasn’t worthy, and that my life didn’t matter. I’ve battled silently in my mind while still showing up for everyone else, carrying weights no one could see. There were moments where the lies felt louder than the truth, and I questioned whether I even wanted to keep going. But God met me there. He pulled me out slowly, faithfully, reminding me that my identity is in Him, not in fear or comparison. Healing hasn’t been perfect or glamorous, but it’s real. And now I stand as proof that you can come out of the darkest thoughts, the deepest doubt, and the harshest self-criticism, and still become a woman full of purpose, love, joy, and fight. I’m still here — and that alone is a testimony.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Alongside my music, I run my own creative brand, Crftdbycai, where I design custom apparel, prints, and pieces that reflect the same heart I pour into my artistry — intentional, soulful, and personal. My hands are always creating, whether it’s a shirt, a lyric, or a moment of worship. As a worship leader and BGV vocalist, I’ve learned how to carry atmosphere, how to serve with humility, and how to let God use my voice in the room. I write songs from a place of testimony and truth, and I lead worship from a place of surrender and sensitivity. Whether I’m designing for someone’s family, serving my church, singing backgrounds, or sharing original music, it all comes from the same place — glorifying God with my gifts and creating things that touch people deeply. Everything I do is crafted with intention, crafted with grace, and crafted with love — literally Crftd by Cai.
Let’s talk about our city – what do you love? What do you not love?
What I Like About Dallas
Dallas is a city that feels like movement — creativity, faith, culture, and opportunity all blending together. I love how alive it feels: the music scene, the food, the small pockets of art and community, the churches, the way people show up for local talent. Dallas has given me room to grow as an artist and a worship leader, space to meet incredible people, and a place where my creativity and calling can actually breathe. There’s a warmth here, a hustle here, and a sense of possibility that keeps me inspired.

What I Don’t Like About Dallas
But Dallas definitely has its challenges. The traffic is a headache, the cost of living keeps rising, and sometimes the city can feel fast, loud, and overwhelming. There are moments where the pace feels too heavy, the energy too busy, and the community too spread out. And as much as I love the culture, Dallas can be unpredictable — from the weather to the people. It’s a city that tests your patience, your peace, and your need for quiet. Some days it feels like home… and some days it feels like a place you have to push through.
