Today's show I sit down and talk to Rapper DaMAC, Resurrection Record's new artist.  Who is Damac?  The ministry began in 2007 after Michael Lacoste accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord & Savior. It happened in his dorm room at the University of Missouri – Columbia.  With a newfound faith, and a passion for youth, his mission became clear:  create art that magnifies Jesus and influences the youth.  How would he accomplish this?  By breaking boundaries and blending different genres of music.  In other words, he wanted to make Deeply Anointed Music About Christ (Damac).  His first concerts were in front of small groups of students, usually at local youth centers and retreats.  The size of the crowd did not matter at all; it was all about sharing Jesus. Since then, Damac has gone on to do great things in Christian music.  Damac has released seven albums (Immaculate, Climactic, Supremacy, Journey, The Elephant in the Room, Hear No Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil, and For Mama Mac) selling over 10,000 copies independently.  In 2011, he was the New Band Showcase Winner at Cornerstone Christian Music Festival.  In 2011 & 2012, he was a part of The Extreme Tour, a national Christian music tour.  Also in 2011 & 2012, Damac was co-headliner/co-organizer of The Hipster-Hop Tour, a 20 city stop tour.  In 2013, Damac signed a recording contract with Rottweiler Records, an independent music label.  In 2014, he organized The Supremacy Tour, a 20 city stop tour.  In 2015, Damac opened for Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and American Idol Season 11 Finalist, Colton Dixon.  In 2016, Damac was co-headliner/co-organizer of The Make Jesus Famous Tour, an 8 city stop tour.   Damac has shared the stage with some of the biggest names in Christian music today, such as David Crowder,  NF, Sidewalk Prophets, Micah Tyler, Jordan Felix, KB, Cory Asbury, Sho Baraka, Canon, Britt Nicole, Seventh Day Slumber, Building 429, FF5, Tenth Avenue North, Trip Lee, Derek Minor, We Are Messengers, Plumb, Gungor, Propaganda, and Lecrae. Since 2016, Damac  has worked with 2x - Grammy and Dove Award nominated producer, Jonny Grande, to produce his albums “Journey”, "The Elephant in the Room", "Hear no Evil, See No Evil, Speak No Evil," and "For Mama Mac." Jonny Grande has produced for artists such as Jason Derulo, Ty Dolla $ign, George Clinton, Ke$ha, Zauntee, Toby Mac, Steven Malcolm (Word Records), and Tony Tillman (RMG). In 2024, Damac signed a recording contract with Resurrection Records. A decade & 500 shows later, with thousands of people reached, the mission has not changed:  make music that glorifies Jesus and reaches people.  Damac says, “I'm just trying to be obedient to my calling and see lives changed through the power of the Gospel.”  Some things will never change

Todays show I sit down with Dustin Sparks, A contemporary Christian singer/songwriter.  From a turbulent childhood marked by a sense of abandonment and the relentless struggle with Tourette's syndrome, to the luminous stage that frames his soul-stirring performances, Dustin Starks isn't just a musician – he is a testament to the power of transformation. With his stirring melodies and lyrics, Dustin invites listeners into a journey of resilience, faith, and the divine spark that unfolds when one dares to follow a higher calling.   Guided by an encounter at a live Christian concert at the age of 15, Dustin felt an indomitable pull towards music. This transformative event not only led him to Christ but also seeded a profound desire to express his devotion through music. Compelled to echo the call that stirred his soul, Dustin dedicated himself to mastering the guitar and piano, gradually developing his skills as a songwriter.   A life seasoned by hardship and personal struggle has only served to strengthen Dustin's resolve. He grapples with internal voices of doubt, questioning his ability to touch lives with his music. Yet, he chooses to persevere, trusting his purpose. Beyond the complexities of the industry's financial hurdles, Dustin and his wife walk the path of faith, believing that their endeavors will bear fruit in due time.   Having written with esteemed Word/Curb writers such as Tony Wood, Michael Farren & Benji Cowart, Dustin's music career has seen encouraging progress. His work pays homage to the influence of bands like Switchfoot & For King & Country and borrows inspiration from the grand orchestrations of cinematic masters like John Williams and Hans Zimmer.   The unwavering support from his wife and brother-in-law remains an enduring pillar in Dustin's musical journey. Their belief in his dream is the sustenance that keeps him moving, even through the most challenging phases. Whether it's offering encouragement when the going gets tough or contributing to the technical aspects of his performances, their presence has been instrumental in Dustin's continued growth.   Dustin Starks isn't just a name in the world of Christian music. It's a story, an inspiration, a beacon for those navigating the shadows of their own lives. His is a melody that resonates with hope, a testament to the transformative power of faith, and a message that celebrates the potential of perseverance in the face of adversity. He doesn't just make music - he crafts anthems of resilience and testaments of faith, aiming to change lives one note at a time.

On today's show I talk with  Stephen Michael Niewind AKA Incoming Rush.  Stephen Michael Niewind is a musician on a mission. For 16 years he has been writing, arranging, and performing music. That is over half of his life. He calls the process, “listening to God.” “It's not about me, “he says, “especially at a concert or an outreach. It is about making Jesus Christ more famous.” Stephen calls his ministry, “Incoming Rush,” remembering the account of the coming of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost in Acts 2. The Spirit came like the sound of a mighty rushing wind. Stephen Michael Niewind   In 16 years, Niewind has composed over 500 songs. He is not sure how it happens. He just asks God to take his pen. When the song is written, he performs it acoustically. He performs anywhere and everywhere. He describes his genres as Christian, Gospel, Christian Based Acoustic Praise and Worship, and Contemporary. He sings with a heartfelt, soulful, gentle manner that is easy to follow and understand. He often tells stories in his songs. He puts it this way: “Bringing Spirit of message to meet the emotions of the heart.”

First Episode of the season!!! On todays episode, I sit with Josh and Jeff Redding of MAWCORE!    Mawcore is an Alternative Modern Hard Art Rock band, from America, driven to “Flood our World with Hope-Driven Fearless Rock”. Pulling in core elements of grinding guitars, pulsing bass, pounding drums, layered electronica sounds and soring vocals, Mawcore has created their brand of Alt. Modern Hard Art Rock. The band draws upon musical influences from the 70's, 80's, 90's and carries into the present day, stretching and barreling onward towards eternity. From the Hebrew word, meaning “Wellspring”, Mawcore taps into the central line of the hopeless, with a continual supply of hope and life, through faith-based lyrics and a mended-heart filled message Mawcore was formed from the ashes of the former internationally distributed band, Blushing Well, who shared their music with thousands all around the world. They shared the stage with Skillet, Red, Disciple, Seventh Day Slumber, Jeremy Camp, Pillar and countless others. Their music was distributed internationally through Nightmare Records and played by radio stations in The Philippines, Yugoslavia, Norway, Germany, Mexico, Brazil, Italy and the United States.             Although the past had crumbled, the three remaining members Joshua, Jeremy and Jeff found themselves with wounds being healed by the music within their core. Being joined by a variety of other musicians and eventually now permanent guitarist Ben, the programming talents of Chris, and the drumming skills of Ryan, they crafted a sound uniquely their own. Each member brings their own reason to keep them going:  Jeremy: “For me, life without music is no life at all. I breathe it. I live it. Being in Mawcore is an amplifier for the music in my head”; “Music has shown me that there is a way to overcome fears and insecurities. When faith is tested, there is strength to be found in music with a message”; Jeff: “There is new life when the musician gets to share the journey with his offspring. The journey grows deeper and the passion more fervent when you are fighting for the life of others”; Joshua “If you cut me, I bleed music! This is such a deep part of my healing and knowing that we are sharing this healing with others, has made it all the more intense”; Chris: “The things that once made me feel undone and hurt, I now use to embrace others in their healing. This new journey has played a part in helping me believe that there is always hope and redemption”. These passionate members are fueling the forward motion that is Mawcore! In this life, which can be full of disappointment and difficulties, music can be an avenue by which we can find hope again. Mawcore is on a mission to do just that. Mawcore is: Jeff Redding: Guitars Jeremy Redding: Bass Ryan Rice: Drums Joshua Redding: Vocals Chris Strupp: Programming
