Crowder is the performance name of Waco, TX native David Crowder, formerly of the Dove Award-winning David Crowder Band until 2012. Since the dissolution of the band, Crowder has embarked on a successful solo career with sixsteprecords. “I’m still David Crowder,” he says, “and David Crowder found out he has to make music to stay alive.”
Crowder’s 2014 album Neon Steeple was number 1 on the Top Christian Album charts, was named iTunes 2014 Christian Album of the Year, and received a Dove Award and two GRAMMY® nominations. The “folktronica” musician is an active member of the Passion movement founded by Louie Giglio, and so participates in impactful university student gatherings in the U.S. and around the world. He is also an author with two published books, including the acclaimed, “Everybody Wants to Go to Heaven, but Nobody Wants to Die.”
Hailing from Texas, Tedashii is an American Christian hip hop artist and member of the hip hop group 116 Clique. His four solo studio albums include his 2014, Below Paradise. Recorded in the aftermath of the death of his one-year-old son, the record has been characterized as “painful and personal, yet filled with great hope.” This Time Around is Tedashii’s new EP. Reach Records released it in March and it achieved a number 9 position on the Billboard US Christian Album Charts.
Recently-signed Capitol CMG Label Group artists, The New Respects, make their home in Nashville. The group is a family affair consisting of 3 members of the Fitzgeralds – Zandy, Lexi, and Darius – and a cousin Jasmine Mullen. The New Respects mesh rock & roll and pop in a unique way that defies categorization. Their first single “Hey!” dropped in June. “It still feels like a dream some days, but we’re happy it’s not,” the band says.
