Within The Red
Sometimes the storms of life come and strip away all you thought you ever wanted, to reveal, as the sun climbs from behind the dark clouds, that the only things left are the only things you truly need. Based out of South Carolina, Within the Red's journey is one centered often times in struggles, pain, restoration and new beginnings...faith to leave their own plans behind to follow the dreams of a God who's proven faithful over and over again...the result...a progressive, acoustic rock blend with a unique edge, emerging from a heart refined by the fire of an awesome God who loves and carries us through anything.
Being blessed with the opportunities to open for amazing groups such as Building 429, DecembeRadio, NEEDTOBREATHE, Sanctus Real, The Afters, and Candace Cameron Bure ("DJ" from the tv show, Full House), as well as being chosen to be World Vision Artist Associates like Third Day and Casting Crowns, God is opening doors and the guys of WTR are truly passionate and excited about the future. Their lives and ministry are a tapestry of Grace that shines through each song, and their passion lies in sharing the message of life through this music with a world that desperately longs for something more...His Name is Jesus.

JJ Heller
JJ Heller's musical career was birthed through the death of a dream to play college basketball. A disappointing basketball debut her freshman year of college led her to pick up a guitar during her sophomore year of school.
“I feel called to be honest about what’s going on in my life -- to talk and sing about the struggles that I face so that my listeners realize that they are not alone,” explains JJ. “For some reason, Christians (including myself) sometimes think, ‘if I’m following the Lord and doing the best I can, that life will be easy,’ and it’s not. That’s where grace comes in, and that’s where we grow.”
“We have the choice to live in fear, or to live in the hope that God is in every moment with us,” JJ says. “That’s one of the major themes of this season in my life.”

Josh Hilliker
Josh, a native of Tuscaloosa, AL, grew up in church singing hymns of the faith. Learning to play guitar at an early age, he pursued music by playing in local rock bands throughout high school and college. At the age of 19 he felt called to use his musical gifts to serve Christ. Josh says, “God revealed to me that I was using the gifts He had given me to glorify myself. I was playing college baseball and playing in a rock band so from the outside it looked like a pretty cool lifestyle, but inside I was a wreck. I realized that day that God had a plan for my life and I surrendered to follow Him.”
With two successful recording projects and his touring schedule rapidly expanding, Josh is accepting God’s call on his life and music. “I’m learning to embrace vulnerability,” he says. “I want to be as transparent as I can in both my writing and my performances so that Christ, and only Christ, is glorified. I’m not perfect and I don’t have it all together… and if I’m honest about my struggles, and honest about my weaknesses, then people will see God’s grace at work in a real person’s life.”

Cleveland
Cleveland is a band with a very powerful message and the passion cuts through to reach the soul of everyone who listens. Lead singer and songwriter Noah Cleveland, brings a very rich and smooth sound to the table for the band. This band is very passionate about what they do and everyone that has heard them recognizes their passion right away. The songs from the debut album “Be Loud” offers a fresh and new sound to Christian music. The album was written over the course of three years and relates to most anyone. Noah wrote the songs through situations and different journeys throughout his life.
The debut album is called “Be Loud.” Be loud is a statement that Cleveland wants to live by and minister through. Being loud with what you believe is how one of the members described it. The song was written from Acts 3 where a beggar was placed at a gate everyday to beg for anything he could get. Peter and John came by and prayed for the man to be healed, and he was. Cleveland wants to bring hope to the hopeless, see the blind eyes opened, see the deaf ears hear, and see people’s visions and dreams stirred up again when they were left for dead. The song says “show the way to the call” and these guys not only want to see people saved and set free, they also want to deliver a message that God is calling people to know Him and make Him known.

Sarah Joy
Sarah Joy's songs are her personal life set to music. The simplicity, honesty and gentleness of her lyrics really reach out to people on their own personal levels, because she feels burdened to show people the love and freedom of God, she says, "In a world where people are desperate for truth and desperate for something real, I believe that the only way to connect with this hurting world is to be transparent and honest about my own life, knowing that others face a lot of the same struggles, insecurities and burdens that Christ has set me free from- and that He is continuing to heal in me on a daily basis. So the songs I write are my heart and soul, they are my battles, my prayers and my victories. I have a story that I want to share with the world. I want them to know that there is hope and freedom, no matter where they are. I find myself wanting to hold the whole world and heal the hurt and struggles that they face. I know that is impossible, so my prayer is that through my own experiences and through God working in healing me, you will feel Him hold you as you listen to the melodies and lyrics that He has allowed me to share with you."
Her pure, sweet voice has a calming but authoritative quality that also has a romantic undertone. She is a worshipper at heart and her music is worship and true and always tells a story. Sarah Joy, and her songs have been described as inspiringing, comforting and "a breath of fresh air".

Phillip Fox
With gritty southern-styled vocals on "Forgotten", infectious swing beats on "Two", and Muse-esque vocals on "Is there any Hope at all?", "Demonstrate" truly demonstrates Phillip's ability to marry composition, styling, and lyrics for an emotional impact that leaves listeners humming as well as thinking.
Phillip's live performances take his audiences on a journey. His dynamic voice, personal songs, and passionate delivery draw his audiences in. "I'm still amazed by how responsive people are to the live performance - it doesn't matter whether it's a bar, a coffee shop, or a college dining hall promoters have remarked about how people simply stop shooting pool, talking, even eating sometimes and just listen to the music. I think they understand that there's something real being presented and they don't want to miss out on it."
"I love seeing people tap their feet and hum along with the songs but at the end of a concert or after listening to the disc, people will tell me 'You know, that third song seemed like it was written just for me - that's my story' or 'I've never thought about a certain topic quite that way before.' Humming, tapping, and thinking - that's what I'm hoping to spark with these songs."

Mark David Lee
Music has been a centerpiece throughout Mark’s life. In his adolescence, during his weekly family trips to his grand-dad’s apartment in downtown San Francisco, he would visit Tower Records regularly spending his spare change on 45 singles and lp’s.
In high school he started writing his own songs, and recording them into battery operated cassette recorders. Eventually during college he invested in a little recording “setup” consisting of a 4 track track tape recorder, reverb unit and microphone. Countless hours and weekends were spent in the downstairs office creating and capturing little musical pieces.
His church home is Shiloh Christian Fellowship in Oakland, a local church that reaches literally throughout the nations. He plays guitar on the worship team and currently is working on his next collection of songs in his “free time”.
Mark was born, raised and currently lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his lovely wife Pearl, and their three beautiful boys Darren, Tanner and Aaron.

Scott Krippayne
Singer, songwriter, producer living in Browns Point, WA. Discography - 9 cds and 1 independent cassette (1992) - someday available on cd. Likes chips and salsa, teriyaki, and ice cream - eats vegetables on occasion. Enjoys basketball, swimming, and starbucks.
For Scott Krippayne, a respected, accomplished singer/songwriter, the days of playing it safe are over. After nine years in pursuit of his dream, with five albums and plenty of radio and critical success to mark the path, Scott threw away the rulebook. He and his wife, Katy, moved back home to Seattle, to reestablish their roots before their kids started school. There, Scott jumped off the ‘people pleaser’ bus. He started running with scissors, talking to strangers, base-jumping from tall buildings and touching breakable things in department stores.
“If I’ve learned anything over the past year or two, it’s that I’ve got a long way to go to really make a difference, to be a true follower of Jesus. That’s where I’ve been living lately, trying to sort out what’s really important in life and how to represent Christ in the world. …I can’t pretend to know how or if these songs will impact people, but my hope is that God’s Spirit will reveal what he will to those who will hear.”

Chris Lee
From his humble beginnings to touring with the legendary Michael English, Chris Lee is starting to make a name for himself in the world of Christian music. This soft spoken man from Washington, D.C. offers a soulful offering of praise and worship.
The journey started for Chris at the young age of five, touring the east coast and singing with his family. With church, revival, and conference ministry, Chris attests these experiences cemented the cornerstone of his artistry. His approach to stewardship anchored him as he pursued his own music outreach at the age of 18. With a new footing at a local church in Ashburn, Virginia, Chris was gifted with the tools to become stronger in his faith. Soon after, Chris recorded a demo CD and contemplated a move to Nashville.
The turning point came one Sunday service. A special guest was speaking that morning, and his message was entitled: “Your Miracle Moment” (the moment in which God has true blessings for us, but we must surrender ourselves and believe that He is in control; then and only then can faith, meet the miracle.) In a matter of months, Chris and his wife Katie packed up their belongings, prepared their friends and family and made their way to Music City.
Once in Nashville, some doubt crept in. But, this would pass as the common story of sacrifice and dreaming would soon make a transformation into accomplishment and reality. Katie, now Chris’ wife of 10 years, was researching some job opportunities on the internet and stumbled upon the website of a well known Christian singer named Michael English. Michael was looking for vocal talent for a possible singing group he was planning to assemble. Katie immediately saw this as an opportunity and approached Chris with the news. With great encouragement, he was convinced to apply. One week later, Michael called to say how impressed he was and graciously invited Chris to perform at one of his local concerts. In 2003, he began touring with Michael full time. Chris feels tremendously grateful to God for sending such a meaningful professional and personal opportunity to work with Michael English. “Michael has always been larger than life to me. So, to be given the chance to learn from his expertise was nothing short of a blessing.”
These are exciting times in the Chris Lee camp. He has just finished the recording of his self-titled, debut album. The music that Chris shares is praise and worship of the highest order, imbued with surrender and a musical representation of the fruits of the spirit. “I am eager to continue traveling on my own, and sharing God’s love and forgiveness to the broken. I believe this new CD will touch people on a personal and intimate level, as it has already done in my life.”

The DC Project
The DC Project features musicians from Midlands churches in England. The album 'Without Fear' is a collection of original songs with positive lyrical foundation; some used for corporate praise and worship and others to be listened to and reflected upon. The album was made possible due to the commitment and contribution of people who have given their time, energy and talent - drawn together by a mutual belief and experience of God. Profits from the album are currently being used to help the victims of human trafficking in Albania.
All of the songs on the CD support a Christian perspective, with half having a specific Biblical influence: ‘Kingdom Of Heaven’ (Matthew 5:1-12), ‘Calm The Storm’ (Mark 4:35-41), ‘Wings To Fly’ (Psalm 91), ‘Grace (Hold On To You)’ (Ephesians 2:1-10), ‘Remember Me’ (Luke 23:32-43) and ‘Immune’ (Colossians 1:24-29). The songs have been embraced by both Christians and also those who are seeking positive answers to life’s questions. The songs are viewed as ‘relational worship’; the lyrics serving to communicate one to one moments with God.
