ABOUT FORREST FRANK:
Forrest Frank, award-winning 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, RIAA GOLD-Certified album CHILD OF GOD was the best-selling Christian album of 2024, and his latest, CHILD OF GOD II, is also a best-seller. Working independently in 2021, Frank broke through with “NO LONGER BOUND” (feat. Hulvey), tallying more than 60 million Spotify streams. In 2023, his debut album CHILD OF GOD soared to stratospheric heights, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a Billboard Music Award (BBMA) finalist spot, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, Dove Award nomination and tallied over 1 billion global streams. Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023. In Fall 2024, he released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album. The single “GOOD DAY” became a Christian radio hit, was 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.” The project also included the RIAA Gold-certified, GRAMMY-nominated and DOVE-Award winning track “YOUR WAY’S BETTER,” which experienced explosive viral growth and rose to a BILLBOARD Top 100 hit, driven by the viral dance that took the internet by storm. In May 2025, Frank wrapped his completely sold out “CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2,” and released his follow-up album, CHILD OF GOD II, featuring popular songs “NOTHING ELSE (with Thomas Rhett),” “NO L’s” and “AMEN.” This summer, after breaking his back in a freak accident, he released several new viral tracks including “GOD’S GOT MY BACK,” “LEMONADE,” “SELAH” and his latest, “THE ROCK” with Crowder. These four tracks plus 20 more are on the newly released deluxe album, CHILD OF GOD II (BACK TO BACK). As Frank currently finds himself at the center of the music world with more recent GRAMMY and Dove-Award nods, he continues to cling to a core message. “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.
 
ABOUT JVKE
JVKE continues to remain one of the top songwriters and producers in the game. His breakout hit “Upside Down” went viral following its release in 2020 and has generated over 125 million streams to date. The song’s meteoric success led to a Charlie Puth remix collaboration, which earned both JVKE and Charlie a 2021 Trending VMA nomination. JVKE followed up his debut single with a series of releases in 2021 including his second viral hit “this is what falling in love feels like,” which went top 10 at pop radio. In 2022 he release his debut full-length this is what ____feels like (Vol, 1-4), featuring the meteoric hit “golden hour.” “golden hour” reached #10 at Top 40 radio and #10 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it remained for over 26 consecutive weeks, and receiving 2.5 billion streams worldwide.
 
Additionally, JVKE produced “Euphoric,” the lead single from Eric Bellinger’s GRAMMY® nominated album New Light and appeared on and co-wrote multiple songs from Forrest Frank’s GRAMMY® nominated album CHILD OF GOD . His music has been featured in soundtracks including Arcane League of Legends and Fast X. JVKE has also collaborated with Nick Jonas, Jimin from BTS, Muni Long, Martin Garrix, Galantis, Pink $weats, ENHYPEN, Jungle, TXT, LE SSERAFIM and more. JVKE traveled a tried-and-true road to a fresh, focused, and fiery sound. The Rhode Island-born singer, songwriter, and producer logged countless hours on multiple instruments since the age of three, discovered production by high school, eventually dropping out of school to pursue music full time. He crafts the kind of pop anthems that soar and surprise all at once. He has amassed over 4 billion streams, 100+ billion views of his music across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, built an audience of 28+ million followers across social media, and attracted the support of everyone from Charli D’Amelio to Charlie Puth. Moreover, JVKE has performed sold-out shows globally, including a headline North American tour, Corona Capital in Mexico City, and iHeartRadio’s Jingle Ball. He’s also made appearances on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” “Dick Clark’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve,” “Good Morning America” and more.
