SKILLET is one of the best-selling rock bands of the 21st century. The two-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated, Pandora Billionaires Club members, and multi-platinum rockers have an undying spirit that has humbly asserted and affirmed them as one of this generation’s most successful rock acts. However, as all classic underdog stories do, it happened quietly under the radar. By 2019, they not only garnered a pair of GRAMMY® Award nods and sold over 17 million albums worldwide, but they also took home a Billboard Music Award for the double-platinum Awake. Its breakout single “Monster” is 5x platinum and remains “one of the most-streamed rock songs of all-time.” 2016’s Unleashed bowed at #3 on the Billboard Top 200. Hitting #1 on Rock Radio, the lead single “Feel Invincible” cracked 643 million global audio streams and went double platinum. Meanwhile, the gold-certified Unleashed became their fourth consecutive album to achieve gold, platinum, or double-platinum status. Their 2019 release Victorious included the top ten rock radio hit “Legendary,” which lived up to its name with over 108 million streams. To date, nine original tunes earned RIAA recognition in tandem with high-profile syncs by everyone from WWE and Marvel to ESPN and NFL. Between selling out arenas in 26 countries and four continents, the group performed on CONAN and graced the pages of USA Today and The New York Times. Skillet debuted their first graphic novel, EDEN: A Skillet Graphic Novel with Z2 Comics, which became the publisher’s best-selling book of all time, followed by EDEN II: The Aftermath. Skillet’s latest project, DOMINION, was one of the highest charting rock and metal albums of 2022 and deluxe version DOMINION: DAY OF DESTINY is available now.

As much as glory necessitates gratitude, praise, and respect, it also demands enough faith to let go of control and give in to the greater plan for your life. Throughout a tireless decade-plus grind, KB has done his part and certainly put in the work. Still, it only prepared him to lean on his faith harder than ever and, ultimately, deliver his boldest artistic statement to date.Among many milestones, his anthem“100”garnered“Rap/Hip-Hop Song of the Year”at the Dove Awards in 2014, while he scored four back-to-back#1 debuts on theBillboardTop Christian Albums Chart. Reacting with audiences worldwide, he has notably generated hundreds of millions of streams buoyed by standouts such as “Hold Me Back,” “No Chains,” and “Church Clap”[feat. Lecrae]. 2020 saw him elevate to another stratosphere altogether with His Glory Alone. It cracked the Top 5 of the Top Christian Albums Chart and Top 3 of the Contemporary Christian Albums Chart. Not to mention, “10K” amassed over 18 million Spotify streams and counting. However, he’s ready for another level of glory with his 2023 full-length album, His Glory Alone II [Sony’sRCA/Provident Entertainment].

For artist and songwriter Seph Schlueter, his debut single “Counting My Blessings” hitting No. 1 on Spotify Brazil’s Viral Playlist was beyond unexpected. It’s a story covered in God’s fingerprints, one Seph is all too happy to share. As a young high school graduate, Seph joined a missionary group/youth retreat in Ohio as a worship leader. “I gave my life to the Lord in high school,” Seph shares, “and made the decision to give Him my whole life. I joined Damascus to be a part of bringing revival to the Catholic church, for students and families to have a real encounter with Jesus.” As he grew in leadership at Damascus, Seph was also developing his songwriting skills. The more he wrote, the more his songs gained traction within the Damascus and Catholic community. Friends encouraged him to send his songs to record labels in Nashville. “I didn’t know anyone in the music industry or where to send my music. An artist I followed on Instagram made a post thanking a bunch of people at her label, so I wrote down all their names and sent my song to them as well as a bunch of artists I looked up to. That usually doesn’t work too well,” Seph jokes. For Seph, launching Counting My Blessings on the heels of a viral hit only adds to his prayer for these songs. “I hope this EP gives people a framework for Jesus. These songs are my loaves and my fish for the Lord. If He wants to multiply it, that’s great. Multiplication isn’t my job, faithfulness is. If no one on earth heard my songs but only heaven sang them, that would be enough.”

bodie is more than just a singer; he’s a captivating force of nature whose voice leaves an indelible mark on the hearts of listeners. His talent first caught the attention of millions as he graced the stage of The Voice, mesmerizing audiences and judges alike with his soulful vocals and magnetic stage presence. His time on the show may have propelled him into the spotlight, but bodie is no stranger to the stage. He grew up in Los Angeles surrounded by talented parents and artistic influences who instilled a love for art at a young age. Today, his music and lyrics are a reflection of his unque life experience, capturing the vulnerability and raw emotions that come with love, loss, and an honest relationship with Jesus.

bodie has been performing since childhood and his journey to music stardom has been nothing short of extraordinary. With years spent exploring the limitless abilities of his vocals, bodie draws inspiration from everything from grunge to hip-hop. It’s no surprise that his music is as unique and inviting as he is. 

With a voice that soars with emotion and a talent that knows no bounds, bodie is poised to leave an unforgettable mark on the music industry. As he continues to captivate audiences with his soul stirring performances and heartfelt songwriting, there is no doubt that bodie is destined to become a household name in the world of music.
