FOLK-POP ARTIST ELI GABLE

Debut Single “Holy Ghost Town” Releases May 16

Nashville, TN. - (May 5, 2025) — Capitol Christian Music Group (CCMG) announces the signing of singer-songwriter ELI GABLE. The Ohio-born native showcases his soulful vocals and hope-filled lyrics on his debut single, “Holy Ghost Town,” set to release May 16, 2025.

GABLE has been independently releasing music and developing his mountain soul, rock ‘n’ roll sound as an artist since he moved to Nashville in 2020. As a songwriter, he is in constant pursuit of creating art that connects life with honesty and faith with curiosity. His celebratory debut anthem "Holy Ghost Town" immediately demonstrates Gable's signature gritty vocals and singable melodies, with audiences already chanting along during his live shows. As proclaimed on his social platforms, Gable makes "Christian music for the bonfire or you can crank on the backroads."

"I'm beyond excited to be working with the innovative team at Capitol CMG, and honored to be part of what’s coming next in the Christian music space," comments GABLE. He shares, "I want and aim to make music that is full of joy and celebration while also keeping a grip on reality and the hard truths that come with it. These songs are reminders to myself about the life I get to live in Jesus, and I’m glad that other people enjoy Sunday morning topics through a 'Springsteen-meets-banjo' type vibe."

The label group at Capitol CMG conveys a strong belief in GABLE with A&R executive Zach Hayes stating, "The moment I saw ELI perform live, it was obvious there was something so special about him. Not only is he a prolific songwriter and captivating vocalist, he has an ability to engage a room and take the audience on a journey with his quick wit and jokes between songs." He adds, "ELI wins people over in every room he walks into and I have no doubt he has what it takes to be successful, and have a long career in this industry.”

ABOUT FORREST FRANK: 
Forrest Frank acknowledges the weight of his words, deeds, and actions within his artistry. The award-nominated Texas-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist approaches life and music with gratitude and intent. This mindset underscores his music, and it’s why his GRAMMY-nominated CHILD OF GOD was the best-selling Christian album of 2024.

The Houston-born 29-year-old, who’d temporarily put the idea of making solo music on the back burner to keep building on his band’s success, craved the freedom to make music just for himself again, and in 2021, a revelation inspired him to change course. Forrest opted to take a year off from touring, relocated to Waco, TX, and became a father.

Working completely independently, his self-described “simple worship song”—the powerful “NO LONGER BOUND” [feat. Hulvey]— opened up the floodgates, surging across social media, tallying north of 60.9 million Spotify streams and counting. He parlayed this momentum into CHILD OF GOD. Beyond performing on all 20 tracks, Forrest helmed the production, crafting an immersive ou anchored by elements of bright R&B, upbeat pop, and uplifting gospel. Thematically, he clung to a core message.  “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.

CHILD OF GOD  soared to stratospheric heights upon arrival, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, and within a few months’ time, tallied over 1 billion global streams. Given the runaway success, Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023, a 2024 BBMA finalist for Top Christian Artist. Concurrently, the signature “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, also named a BBMA finalist and won a DOVE Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.”   Last fall he released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album featuring seven new tracks, including "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" and "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun, as well as a new holiday original, "THE PRESENT."  2025 has seen the release of four new singles, "drop," "SUNRISE,” "NOTHING ELSE (with Thomas Rhett)," “NO L’s,” "CELEBRATION," and "AMEN."  Currently FRANK is on the road for his  completely sold out "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2,” and experiencing the explosive viral growth of the track "YOUR WAY'S BETTER,” driven by a viral dance that's taken the internet by storm. His new album, CHILD OF GOD II, will release May 9.

The welcome addition to MercyMe’s itinerary comes on the heels of another recent tour announcement that will find the band also embarking on a brief trek this fall with fellow hitmakers TobyMac and Matthew West. The eight-date stint runs from Sept. 25 - Oct. 5.

Amidst a full calendar that’s already notched multiple sold-out shows across the country, MercyMe returned to Red Rocks Amphitheatre Apr. 22 to share a one-of-a-kind evening with fans. The event marked the band’s fourth time to headline the iconic venue. However, this year’s stop at the National Historic Landmark in Morrison, Colorado, was especially memorable. Alongside a full set from MercyMe, concertgoers also had the opportunity to be a part of a live taping for “I Can Only Imagine 2.” Cast members, including Milo Ventimiglia, Trace Adkins, Sammy Dell and John Michael Finley, were in attendance to film the pivotal scene. Production for the sequel began in March in Nashville. The highly anticipated movie will release in theaters Mar. 20, 2026.

While work continues on the film, MercyMe is putting the finishing touches on their next studio album. The upcoming project’s lead single, “Oh Death,” is racing up the charts, entering the Top 10 at Christian radio this week.

SIX-TIME GRAMMY WINNER AMY GRANT RECORDS EXCLUSIVE TRACK, "HOME (LYANA'S SONG)" ON STAR-STUDDED AUDIOBOOK FOR R.J. HALBERT'S "CARETAKER"

SIX-TIME GRAMMY WINNER AMY GRANT RECORDS EXCLUSIVE TRACK, "HOME (LYANA'S SONG)" ON STAR-STUDDED AUDIOBOOK FOR R.J. HALBERT'S "CARETAKER"

Coming May 7, 2025, Grant and Actor Erick Avari to Join R.J. Halbert on The Kelly Clarkson Show amidst book's release

Audiobook brings to life the imaginative, soul-inspired and compelling narrative of best-selling, award-winning novel 

Nashville, TN – May 1, 2025 - Six-time Grammy-winning artist Amy Grant has recorded an exclusive and original song, “Home (Lyana’s Song),” an intimate and powerful ballad, as part of the upcoming audiobook for the supernatural thriller Caretaker by R.J. Halbert (both available May 7, 2025 via Novus Press Works). With two versions, an alternate/acoustic track for the audiobook, and another recorded at the legendary Blackbird Studios in Nashville, each were produced by Emmy and Grammy award-winning producer Jason Halbert. Grant will join actor Erick Avari and R.J. Halbert on The Kelly Clarkson Show May 7th to perform the song amidst the book's release. 

“Home (Lyana’s Song)” is written from the perspective of Lyana Keane, a central character in Caretaker, whom Grant also voices in the full-cast audiobook adaptation. The track captures Lyana’s longing, resilience, and spiritual anchoring in a world filled with loss, mystery, and redemption. Take a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the recording session here. 

“This song came straight from the heart of Lyana,” said Amy Grant. “It was an honor to help bring her story to life, both through voice and song. ‘Home’ is about that place beyond grief, where memory, love, and eternity meet.”

This moving piece will be featured exclusively as part of the Caretaker audiobook experience, and features a stellar ensemble cast to join Grant, including narrator Henry Ian Cusick, Erick Avari, Kelly Clarkson, Brandon Engman, Charles Esten, Hayley Orrantia, and Michael Shanks.  The audiobook is enhanced with an original score by Joseph Trapanese including full sound design, and foley effects.

Producer Jason Halbert adds, “There was something deeply personal about crafting this song with Amy. It grew naturally from the world we created in Caretaker, and we knew it had to be more than a soundtrack—it had to reflect the emotional journey at the heart of the story.”

“Home (Lyana’s Song)” will be available on all major streaming platforms on May 7th, and as a featured track in the Caretaker audiobook.

Caretaker has already received widespread acclaim, earning prestigious honors including most recently named a finlist for the Independint Book Publishers Association's coveted Bill Fisher Award.  Previously the book has garnered the Global Book Award, Amazon Best Seller status, and recognition from the International Book Awards, Literary Global Book Awards, Next Best Read, and more. The novel has also been featured on popular platforms including The Kelly Clarkson Show, Chicago Today and Coast to Coast AM.

Available at www.rjhalbert.com on May 7th, 2025, and on major audiobook platforms Summer 2025, this release promises to deliver an immersive and unforgettable journey into the world of "Caretaker.” 

About the Authors:

R.J. Halbert is the husband and wife team behind CARETAKER - Book One of The Goodpasture Chronicles, a supernatural tale about breaking generational curses to forge new bonds of hope.

Jason Halbert, one-half of R.J. Halbert, is an Emmy and Grammy Award winning producer and songwriter. His songs have reached millions of listeners worldwide through multiple #1 and Platinum selling records. In addition to his 20+ year career as Music Director and Producer for Kelly Clarkson and several other notable artists, he has left his unique creative mark on numerous works in film and television. When not creating music, he loves bee-keeping, Sci-Fi, and is known to be quite a storyteller.

After homeschooling their two children around the world on a tour bus, Rhonda Halbert, the second half of R.J. Halbert, has spent the past 10 years as a successful music and television manager, guiding her clients’ relationships with labels, networks, and producers.

About Amy Grant: 

Amy Grant's career spans more than 40 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming an iconic pop star, songwriter, television personality and philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums and four gold albums, her total career album sales have exceeded 30 million and over 1 billion global streams. Grant’s chart success has been consistent throughout her career with six No. 1 hits, 10 Top 40 pop singles, 17 Top 40 Adult Contemporary tracks and multiple Contemporary Christian chart-toppers. 

In addition to her six GRAMMY® Awards, Grant has earned 26 GMA Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as well as the Music City Walk of Fame and the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame. Conventional wisdom has it that Grant put Contemporary Christian Music on the map becoming the first Contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit No. 1 on the Pop charts and the first to perform at the GRAMMY® Awards. With that, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the past four decades is assured.  In 2022, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts included Grant as one of their five distinguished Honorees to receive the 45th Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievements. Grant continues to actively tour each year playing 70+ solo shows in addition to the annual Christmas At The Ryman residency with Vince Gill which celebrated over 100 headline shows at the Ryman, the first co-headliners to mark this incredible milestone.  

In 2024, Grant continued her active touring schedule and treated fans to several catalog re-issues including the long-sought after “Songs From The Loft” album, (originally released in 1993), for the first time on digital formats and an ‘Expanded Anniversary Edition’ of her classic album, “House Of Love” with never before heard tracks and remixes, as well as a newly compiled Christmas Collection with Vince Gill entitled, “When I Think Of Christmas” album. 

2025 finds Grant finishing a Spring Tour culminating in a 2-night residency at the Ryman Auditorium over Mother’s Day weekend and is in the studio finishing recording a new album with all-new songs, her first in 12 years with producer Mac McAnally which will release in the fall 2025 in tandem with her fall tour. 

Book and Audiobook Synopsis:

In CARETAKER, the Keane family moves to the quiet town of Littleton, New Hampshire, seeking a fresh start after experiencing marriage troubles and dark pasts. They become inexplicably drawn to a mysterious old house with a rich history, extensive grounds, and an enigmatic Caretaker. But as strange occurrences and chilling hallucinations begin to unfold, the family realizes they’re entangled in something much darker than they could have imagined.

The audiobook version of this gripping tale offers an immersive experience, with a multi-cast performance featuring an all-star lineup of actors and celebrities, including Erick Avari, Kelly Clarkson, Brandon Engman, Charles Esten, Amy Grant, Hayley Orrantia, Michael Shanks, and more.

Narrated by Henry Ian Cusick and scored by Joe Trapanese, this haunting production elevates the eerie atmosphere, drawing listeners deep into the family’s unraveling mystery. With captivating performances and a richly layered score, this audiobook is an experience that will keep listeners on the edge of their seats, wondering: can the house save the Keane family, or will it destroy them?

FORREST FRANK UNVEILS FULL TRACK LISTING FOR "CHILD OF GOD II" AFTER PRE-SAVES EXCEED 100K

NASHVILLE, TN… April 30, 2025 -  Last Friday, GRAMMY-nominated, award winning artist FORREST FRANK surprised fans by announcing from stage that a new album, CHILD OF GOD II, would be coming May 9 and was available for pre-order.  After an incredible response, FRANK took to socials, telling fans that if pre-saves hit 100K, he'd share the full track listing, and in just 5 days, they have exceeded such.  The full track listing is below. 

Talking about the recording process, FRANK commented, "Hiding in plain sight. rather than make an album, market it for months, and THEN tour it…I wanted to finish an album during tour. I wanted to capture the current heartbeat. I love pushing the boundaries and trying new things…and that’s what this project is. Some songs took months, some years, and others were wrapped a few days ago. 

Jacob Biz Morris 

flew out and lived on our bus for a few days to mix it and PERA and I put in hundreds of hours on FaceTime. It honestly didn’t make ANY sense or seem possible, but we walked by faith & miraculously it all came together.  I feel like this record captures where we are as a community in real time & it feels SO special. praying God uses it to lead many to Jesus!!"

Currently FRANK is on the road for his  completely sold out "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2,” and experiencing the explosive viral growth of the track "YOUR WAY'S BETTER,” driven by a viral dance that's taken the internet by storm.

Working completely independently, his self-described “simple worship song”—the powerful “NO LONGER BOUND” [feat. Hulvey]— opened up the floodgates, surging across social media, tallying north of 60.9 million Spotify streams and counting. He parlayed this momentum into CHILD OF GOD. Beyond performing on all 20 tracks, Forrest helmed the production, crafting an immersive ou anchored by elements of bright R&B, upbeat pop, and uplifting gospel. Thematically, he clung to a core message.  “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.

CHILD OF GOD  soared to stratospheric heights upon arrival, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, and within a few months’ time, tallied over 1 billion global streams. Given the runaway success, Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023, a 2024 BBMA finalist for Top Christian Artist. Concurrently, the signature “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, also named a BBMA finalist and won a DOVE Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.”   Last fall he released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album featuring seven new tracks, including "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" and "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun, as well as a new holiday original, "THE PRESENT."   2025 has seen the release of four new singles, "drop," "SUNRISE,” "NOTHING ELSE (with Thomas Rhett)," “NO L’s,” "CELEBRATION," and "AMEN."  Currently FRANK is on the road for his  completely sold out "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2,” and experiencing the explosive viral growth of the track "YOUR WAY'S BETTER,” driven by a viral dance that's taken the internet by storm. His new album,Child of God II, will release May 9.

FORREST FRANK RELEASES “CELEBRATION” TRACK AHEAD OF EASTER

FORREST FRANK RELEASES “CELEBRATION” TRACK AHEAD OF EASTER  

“CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2" CONTINUES TO SELL OUT ARENAS ACROSS U.S. 

NASHVILLE, TN… April 11, 2025 - GRAMMY-nominated, award-winning artist FORREST FRANK has released another new track just in time for Easter, titled "CELEBRATION."  Acknowledging the beauty of life, and seizing the day in celebration, he sings "If you believe that Jesus set you free, it's time to celebrate. Don't sit there waiting let's have a celebration." 

As Frank continues to sell out arenas across the U.S. on his "Child of God Tour Part 2," new music has been coming on the ready, as evidenced by last week's release “NO L’s” which features live vocals from fans in the audience. “NO Ls” follows Frank’s February single, a collab with Thomas Rhett, “NOTHING ELSE,” along with two early 2025 releases “SUNRISE” and “DROP!”

 Viral traction for Frank’s 2024 hit “YOUR WAY’S BETTER” also continues on TikTok and YouTube Shorts, driven by a viral dance that's taken the faith-based community by storm.  Check out the fun on YouTube here and TikTok here. 

2024 was a record-breaking year for Forrest, whose GRAMMY-nominated album CHILD OF GOD held the No.1 spot on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart for 14 weeks becoming the biggest Christian album debut of 2024. 

Frank’s latest radio single, "NOTHING ELSE (feat. Thomas Rhett)" has quickly been added to 24 stations on in just a few short weeks including SiriusXM’s The Message. At Mediabase Christian Impressions, “YOUR WAY’S BETTER” ranks #26 this week and at Billboard Christian Airplay the song ranks at #38. Forrest’s collective radio audience has grown to over 7M weekly impressions across multiple songs including “Good Day”, “Never Get Used To This”, “Lift My Hands”, “Your Way’s Better” and “Nothing Else".

ABOUT FORREST FRANK: 
Forrest Frank acknowledges the weight of his words, deeds, and actions within his artistry. The award-nominated Texas-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist approaches life and music with gratitude and intent. This mindset underscores his music, and it’s why his GRAMMY-nominated CHILD OF GOD was the best-selling Christian album of 2024.

The Houston-born 29-year-old, who’d temporarily put the idea of making solo music on the back burner to keep building on his band’s success, craved the freedom to make music just for himself again, and in 2021, a revelation inspired him to change course. Forrest opted to take a year off from touring, relocated to Waco, TX, and became a father.

Working completely independently, his self-described “simple worship song”—the powerful “NO LONGER BOUND” [feat. Hulvey]— opened up the floodgates, surging across social media, tallying north of 60.9 million Spotify streams and counting. He parlayed this momentum into CHILD OF GOD. Beyond performing on all 20 tracks, Forrest helmed the production, crafting an immersive ou anchored by elements of bright R&B, upbeat pop, and uplifting gospel. Thematically, he clung to a core message.  “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.

CHILD OF GOD  soared to stratospheric heights upon arrival, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, and within a few months’ time, tallied over 1 billion global streams. Given the runaway success, Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023, a 2024 BBMA finalist for Top Christian Artist. Concurrently, the signature “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, also named a BBMA finalist and won a DOVE Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.”   Last fall he released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album featuring seven new tracks, including "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" and "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun, as well as a new holiday original, "THE PRESENT."   2025 has seen the release of four new singles, "drop," "SUNRISE,” "NOTHING ELSE (with Thomas Rhett)" and “NO L’s.”  Currently FRANK is in the middle of his 2025 "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2," hitting 26 markets across the U.S. and Canada.

TOBYMAC HEAVEN ON MY MIND

7X GRAMMY-WINNER TOBYMAC RELEASES 9TH STUDIO ALBUM, HEAVEN ON MY MIND

"Determination and a refusal to lose hope pulsate through" "vibrant and uplifting listening experience" on album where he "redicovers joy"

Features in BILLBOARD & PEOPLE 

Profile the Singer and the Stories that Shaped the Project

Hits Deep 2025 Rolls Through End of March

Nashville, Tenn. (March 7, 2025) — 7x GRAMMY®-winner TOBYMACreleases his 9th studio album, HEAVEN ON MY MIND, today, along with YouTube premiere of the title track's lyric video, where Premium members can be a part of his AfterParty and get an exclusive bonus video. The longtime songwriter disguised as a pop artist and the stories behind the highly anticipated release is profiled this week on Billboard.com and People.com with both outlets praising TOBYMAC’s ability to channel the pain of losing his firstborn son into relatable, hope-fueled music.

On the personal 12-track collection, the multi-Platinum artist stands at the crossroads of suffering and wonder and finds himself some joy in the brokenness.  But it’s his questions about eternity that ultimately color HEAVEN ON MY MIND.

As he continues on his journey, TOBYMAC is more resolute in his faith. He’s more sure of his calling. And he’s more confident in his God than ever before. HEAVEN ON MY MIND isn’t simply a perspective shift, it’s a changing of seasons as a very long winter turns into spring, following 2022’s GRAMMY®-nominated, Dove Award-winning LP, LIFE AFTER DEATH, which debuted atop Billboard’s Christian Albums chart and notched an impressive five No. 1s.

“HEAVEN ON MY MIND is this journey of going from total ashes to crawling to walking to standing up. It was me figuring out how to relate to God again, leading to all these questions, and ultimately something beautiful,” Toby reflects. “I have a deeper relationship with God than I’ve ever had, because I walked through the valley with Him, and I decided I trusted Him.”

TOBYMAC has already been treating concertgoers to selections fromHEAVEN ON MY MIND — including a stripped-back performance of his latest radio climber, “a lil Church (nobody’s too lost),” currently spinning on 63 stations and already Top 20 and climbing at Mediabase AC, along with an amped-up live version of his chart-topping lead single, “Nothin’ Sweeter” whose original version spent 9 weeks at No. 1 — in cities across the country on this year’s Hits Deep Tour. Capped by a full headlining set from TOBYMAC and the Diverse City Band, the 2025 multi-artist outing also features Crowder, CAIN, Ryan Stevenson and Terrian. Commanding numerous sell-outs, the 32-date trek runs through March. Remaining tickets are available at TOBYMAC.com.

Pulling back the curtain on HEAVEN ON MY MIND he confessed “for the last few years eternity has not been something I thought much about but lately it’s been on my mind a lot. I want to put treasure in Heaven which begins with loving well, being compassionate and treating people with dignity.  We can make it as confusing as we want, but loving God and loving people is the road I want to walk.”

FORREST FRANK DELIVERS ANOTHER POWERFUL SINGLE, “SUNRISE,” OUT FEBRUARY 7

FORREST FRANK DELIVERS ANOTHER POWERFUL SINGLE, “SUNRISE,” OUT FEBRUARY 7

Nashville, TN... February 7, 2025 - Building on the momentum of his recent single "drop," GRAMMY-nominated artist Forrest Frank releases his latest track, "SUNRISE," on February 7. Available HERE. 

The release comes after a record-breaking year for Forrest, whose GRAMMY-nominated album CHILD OF GOD held the No.1 spot on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart for 14 weeks becoming the biggest Christian album debut of 2024. 

In addition to new music, FRANK is gearing up for his 2025 "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2."  Demand for the tour has been intense, with several markets already sold out, including Fishers (Indianapolis), Baltimore, Charlotte, Phoenix, Sacramento, St. Louis, Fort Worth, Denver (Morrison), CO., Tampa and more. Featuring Elevation Rhythm in support, following the success of his 2024 stretch, the tour will kick off March 27th and hit 26 markets across the U.S. and Canada.  Tickets are on sale now via ForrestFrank.com.

With momentum continuing into the new year, Forrest begins February with two songs impacting the Top 30 of Mediabase's Christian Audience chart:  “NEVER GET USED TO THIS” at #29 and “YOUR WAY’S BETTER” enters at #30 this week with both songs being added to KLOVE network. “NEVER GET USED TO THIS” is also #18 this week on Mediabase Christian AC with 55 total stations on. At Billboard Christian AC and Billboard Christian Airplay, the song comes in at #18 on their latest charts. Forrest Frank’s collective radio audience is currently just shy of 6,000,000 impressions!

ABOUT FORREST FRANK: 

Forrest Frank acknowledges the weight of his words, deeds, and actions within his artistry. The award-nominated Texas-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist approaches life and music with gratitude and intent. This mindset underscores his music, and it’s why his GRAMMY-nominated CHILD OF GOD was the best-selling Christian album of 2024.

The Houston-born 29-year-old, who’d temporarily put the idea of making solo music on the back burner to keep building on his band’s success, craved the freedom to make music just for himself again, and in 2021, a revelation inspired him to change course. Forrest opted to take a year off from touring, relocated to Waco, TX, and became a father.

Working completely independently, his self-described “simple worship song”—the powerful “NO LONGER BOUND” [feat. Hulvey]— opened up the floodgates, surging across social media, tallying north of 60.9 million Spotify streams and counting. He parlayed this momentum into CHILD OF GOD. Beyond performing on all 20 tracks, Forrest helmed the production, crafting an immersive soundscape anchored by elements of bright R&B, upbeat pop, and uplifting gospel. Thematically, he clung to a core message.  “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.

CHILD OF GOD  soared to stratospheric heights upon arrival, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, and within a few months’ time, tallied over 1 billion global streams. Given the runaway success, Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023, a 2024 BBMA finalist for Top Christian Artist. Concurrently, the signature “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, also named a BBMA finalist and won a DOVE Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.”   Last fall he released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album featuring seven new tracks, including "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" and "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun, as well as a new holiday original, "THE PRESENT. " This spring, FRANK will kick off his 2025 "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2," hitting 26 markets across the U.S. and Canada.

Working completely independently, his self-described “simple worship song”—the powerful “NO LONGER BOUND” [feat. Hulvey]— opened up the floodgates, surging across social media, tallying north of 60.9 million Spotify streams and counting. He parlayed this momentum into CHILD OF GOD. Beyond performing on all 20 tracks, Forrest helmed the production, crafting an immersive soundscape anchored by elements of bright R&B, upbeat pop, and uplifting gospel. Thematically, he clung to a core message.  “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.

CHILD OF GOD  soared to stratospheric heights upon arrival, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, and within a few months’ time, tallied over 1 billion global streams. Given the runaway success, Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023, a 2024 BBMA finalist for Top Chrisitan Aritst. Concurrently, the signature “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, also named a BBMA finalist and won a DOVE Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.”   Last fall he released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album featuring seven new tracks, including "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" and "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun, as well as a new holiday original, "THE PRESENT. " This spring, FRANK will kick off his 2025 "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2," hitting 26 markets across the U.S. and Canada.
