Support Indie Christian Artists! 

 
🎵 A Call to Action for the Body of Christ: Support Independent Christian Artists God's Way! 🎵

 

Family in Christ, it's time we do things differently.

The music industry has changed — and not for the better. Today, platforms like Spotify and Apple Music have normalized a system that deeply undercuts the value of music, especially for independent Christian artists who pour their hearts, faith, and testimonies into their songs. Spotify and other streaming services pay artists between $0.003 and $0.005 per stream! For every 1 million streams, artists only receive around $3,000–$5,000. That’s less than half a penny per play — music is being treated as virtually free. 

And the majority of ALL indie artists today never come close to a million streams! 

In fact, at least 60% of artists on Spotify have less than 1,000 monthly streams. Meaning many independent artists don't earn anything at all from streaming!

But we are not of this world!

Napster and the rise of free file sharing may have sparked this trend, but that doesn’t mean we have to continue it. As members of the body of Christ and the Kingdom of God, we are called to be set apart — not just in our lifestyles and message, but also in how we support one another.

📀 Let’s Go Back to Digital Downloads

When you download a song directly from an artist (via Bandzoogle, their website, etc.), they receive 100% of that sale. No middlemen. No fractions of a penny. Just real support for real ministry. For many indie Christian artists, this income isn't about getting rich — it’s about earning an income (a worker is worthy of his or her wages) and having the finances to continue to create music that uplifts souls and spreads the good news of God’s Kingdom!

You will also own the song permanently and can listen to it anytime and anywhere! You remember the iPod and MP3 player days! Did you know that one 128gb SD card that costs $12.99 at Amazon inserted into your phone can hold 25,000 to 30,000 MP3 songs! Now that’s a lot of music!

You are also helping the songwriter, the publisher, the record label (if the artist is signed to one) and in many cases the producer of the music too!

Imagine this:
There are over 600 million Pentecostals and Apostolic believers worldwide. If just 1 million of us each downloaded one $0.99 song, that’s almost $1 million in direct support to Kingdom musicians!

We don't need a million-dollar label.
We are the label.
We are the support system.
We are the Church.

🙌 Here's How You Can Help Today:

  1. Buy digital downloads from your favorite indie Christian artists.
  2. Share their music with friends, church members, and online.
  3. Encourage your community to value music again — and the ministry behind it.
  4. Tag artists and tell them you believe in them. Your encouragement matters.
  5. Repeat. Often.

Let’s build each other up, just like the first-century Church, who shared all they had to meet the needs of the saints. Let’s show the world that Kingdom music matters — and that we take care of our own.

💡 Artists: Make your music available for purchase.

❤️ Supporters: Download. Don’t just stream.

Together, we can shift the culture.
Together, we can restore the value of Christian music.
Together, we can make sure no anointed voice goes unheard because of a broken system.

📥 Download. Support. Uplift.

Working For The Lord! 

I wanted to post an update on all things Vizionary Records! We are hard at work on Cynthia's new single, 'Your Words', and it's sounding great! 

'Come Out Of The Dark', was a real work of love for me because I recorded it while I was still recovering from Covid-19! I pray that all these anointed offerings to God will bless your souls, as much as they have ours!

What He's Done For Me! 

After many battles I am blessed to be releasing my new song from Heaven! I pray that all who listen will be blessed, edified, and encouraged in your souls! God bless you!

Excited For All That God Is Doing! 


I am so excited to restart Vizionary Records after more than ten years! God has blessed me and my family so much during this time of pandemic. Keeping us all healthy and safe every single day! I was also blessed to produce my first song, "Come To Me" that the Lord gave to my wife as I was learning how to produce music in Studio One 5, my new Digital Audio Workstation. It was a joy and a frustration at the same time! Trying to get the best out of my wife and then learning a new program at the same time! Not easy! But God through His Holy Spirit gave me divine inspiration, intelligence, and drive to keep going even when I wanted to quit! But praise be to God I kept going and now on my 49th birthday I get to release an anointed song to the world! To God be the glory! I pray that it blesses all who hear it and helps to open doors of ministry for my wife and I.Â
