Good news - Christian music is more popular than ever!

Online streams of Christian music have increased 60 per cent over the last five years. There’s an open door for the gospel, says evangelist and musician Lindz West. It’s time for Christian artists to walk through it with integrity, creativity and a heart to share the good news with a lost and hurting world 

It’s an exciting, and slightly surreal, time to be making music in the Christian scene right now.

As LZ7, we’ve been at this for a long time – touring the world, sharing stages with mainstream artists, and relentlessly using our music as a vehicle for the gospel. For years, it felt like we were often swimming against the tide or, at best, in a very specific, often siloed, current.

But then you see statistics like the one highlighted in the US press recently: “Last year, Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) had its biggest streams on Spotify, where the genre experienced a 60 per cent growth rate globally over a five-year period as artists reached beyond the confines of the Christian market to occupy sparsely held mainstream space.”
