I am the editor of Called2Music. I started this because I felt compelled to by God. It's that simple. He really has a vested interest in every human heart - and with music being a launguage of heaven and the human soul - He is REALLY interested in the artists who venture out to declare Him to the world.

In this season, God is looking for laiddown lovers who yearn for Him first and from that place go out declaring the truth in song, and in demonstration of power. Its not about who can move the most CD's - but how we can move His heart and the hearts of men towards Him. I hope the content on this site will help you in your pursuit of your calling.

If you lived 200 years ago, without your CD projects, press kits, websites, myspace profiles and radio promotion, would you still be an artist?

I never thought it possible... in fact I never gave it a thought, because it wasn't something I thought could remotely happen. Can you be signed to a major label, have a #1 album and single, (not christian - I mean mainstream...) and be a worship leader for a very visible church? Yes, you can.
