ABOUT AUSTIN FRENCH
Raised as the son of a worship pastor and a music teacher, Austin French's musical journey began as he gained prominence with a finalist finish on the reality ABC TV show "Rising Star" in 2014. Bursting onto the music scene in 2017, he embraced a Contemporary Christian pop style infused with soul, swiftly climbing the Billboard Christian Songs chart with his debut single, "Freedom Hymn." His follow-up hit singles, including "Why God," "Wake Up Sleeper," "Good Feeling," and "Jesus Can," solidified his place in the genre. Most recently, French has been featured on Winter Jam (2023), and the Danny Gokey Tour (Fall 2023), and the Big Daddy Weave Tour (Spring 2024). For more information, visit austinfrenchmusic.com.

ABOUT LEANNA CRAWFORD
From a young age, growing up in the Pacific Northwest, Leanna Crawford was inspired by the beauty of God’s creation that surrounded her. Songwriting was her artistic vehicle to navigate her faith, relationships and questions in a world of insecurities and difficulties. Her latest single, “Still Waters,” a tribute to Crawford’s Great Aunt Maurine, is in the Top 15 at radio and is a top streaming song with multiple viral moments on Leanna’s combined 1.6 million-follower social media platforms. Leanna is married to NBA player Cody Zeller. Her latest album “Still Waters” (Provident Label Group) was released in 2024 to much critical acclaim. For more information, visit leannacrawford.com.
