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 in the middle of his 2025 "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2," selling out 26 markets across the U.S. and Canada.
