Our Roots
John Chisum, our fearless leader, (and we do mean fearless), walked into a Nashville record label four decades ago, handed a song demo to the receptionist and got his first song recorded. Heā€™s had more than 400 since, made multiple popular recordings, been a successful publisher, producer, and served as a music business executive for two of the most successful record and publishing companies in Christian music history. Heā€™s traveled the world singing, leading worship, and sharing his testimony of Godā€™s presence in his life for four decades.
