Edwards was born as Misty Dawn Edwards, in Andrews, Texas, on January 19, 1979. She was exposed to music by her mother, a music teacher, Donna Joyce Edwards (née, Winfrey). Edwards' father, Robert Luther Edwards is a preacher and she has an older sister, Sommer, and a younger brother, Clay. The siblings were all homeschooled until, at the age of 19, Edwards became one of the first five interns at her church, International House of Prayer, when the church was founded near Kansas City, MO. She eventually became a worship leader at the church. "IHoP" has sustained a constant prayer/worship-meeting going at their "Prayer Room", allowing them to connect with thousands of people across the globe. Edwards initially had dreams of becoming a lawyer, but became a musician, as her home environment was hospitable and conducive for its development. In 1998, at the age of 19, Edwards was diagnosed with cancer. She had chemotherapy and radiation therapy and it took six years before it went fully into remission.
