Chris Tomlin is a leading CCM artist and songwriter who sold nearly 30 million records. Some of his most well-known songs are “How Great is Our God,” “Jesus Messiah,” “Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) and “Our God.”  He won a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album (And If Our God Is for Us) in 2012, and was awarded Male Vocalist of the Year at the 2006, 2007 and 2008 CMA Dove Awards. Among many other notable awards, his 2013 album Burning Lights debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, becoming the fourth CCM album in history to do so.  Chris Tomlin is one of the members of the charity CompassionArt, and is on the Board of Directors of CURE International, a nonprofit organization that provides medical care to children in the developing world.

Rend Collective, formerly known as Rend Collective Experiment, is a Northern Irish Christian experimental, folk rock band originating from Bangor, Northern Ireland. Current members include Gareth Gilkeson, Chris Llewellyn, Ali Gilkeson, Patrick Thompson and Steve Mitchell. Group members explain that because they realized a sense of hostility from the modern culture towards the church and Christians, they sought to create music that would draw people spiritually and encourage them to come back to church. Their first studio album Organic Family Hymnal was released in 2010, and they have been busy touring and releasing new albums since. The group’s fourth album, The Art of Celebration, was released in 2014. Top singles have been “Build Your Kingdom Here” and “Second Chance.”
