IDEGO (pronounced “id” and “ego”) recently released a song with conviction to not only be a form of Worship but also to reach the ears of everyone for his debut into the Christian music scene. His talent has been recognized by tastemaker site Rapzilla, who has added IDEGO to their 2026 Freshman Class alongside the release of his video “Pray Some,” which premiered on Jesus Freak Hideout, and new single “SHOCKING!.”
Growing up in Nashville, music was everywhere for IDEGO, even under his own roof. His father managed bands and was instrumental in the early days of TobyMac’s Gotee Records, working with artists like GRITS and Relient K, while his mother worked in product development and branding for bands. Christian music was a staple in their household, though so was secular music. “One band that my family really liked was like Twenty One Pilots,” he remembers. “But then as I got older, I started listening to my own music, and started listening to a lot of rap.” From Kanye West to J. Cole and Kendrick Lamar, IDEGO began drawing creativity both as a lyricist and producer.
IDEGO states, “For me, the art I make is a form of worship. I wanted to pave a way forward where people can like my music outside of the Christian world, just purely because it sounds good.”
