This talented group of professional musicians features carefully selected vocalists with vocal styles ranging from traditional to contemporary Christian.

Known for his standout soulful, pop vocals and songs that bring a modern and fresh feel, Jordan Feliz has released three studio albums, Beloved in 2015, The River in 2016, with Centricity Music and Future in 2018. His song, “The River,” has charted on the Billboard magazine Christian Songs, Christian Airplay, and Christian Digital Songs charts. Growing up listening to R&B artists and early groove-funk-soul singers, Jordan's own musical sound has been greatly influenced by these styles. A native of California, Jordan and his wife moved to Nashville just a few years ago to continue his music ministry.  Jordan’s first single “Witness” from his album “Future” is in the top 20 on all Christian Radio Charts.
