Christian Recording Sensations

Jaime Jamgochian &

Tyrus Morgan

Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! when Scott brings in two famed Christian Artists to talk about their new album Christmastime.

Jaime Jamgochian hails from Boston, MA, and accepted Christ while attending college at Berklee College of Music, before moving to Seattle, WA, to serve as a worship leader at one of the area churches. It was during this time that Jamgochian moved to Nashville and became the anchor artist for Centricity Music. She released four projects and had several hit singles, including the 12-week No. 1 song “Hear My Worship.” She was with the label for 10 years before striking out on her own as an independent artist. Jamgochian has led worship at churches around the world and has shared the stage with such Christian mainstays as Point Of Grace, Mark Schultz, Francesca Battistelli, and Jason Gray. Jamgochian has become known for performances and support for women’s events, including her own ministry for young girls “Modest Is Hottest.” Jamgochian resides in the Nashville area.

Tyrus Morgan is a Kansas native who had a passion for playing baseball while in high school, but once he inherited his grandfather’s guitar there was no turning back from music. He started playing in local bands while in college and it was after graduation that Morgan made his way to Nashville. He started out the same way several artists and songwriters do in Music City, by holding down two jobs: his day gig of advertising that paid the bills and his passion at night of songwriting. Heeding his faith calling, Morgan began his full-time music ministry 18 months after moving to Nashville, which eventually led to signing with Curb Records and releasing his first radio hit, “Song to the Savior.” Morgan has also written hit singles for other artists that include “Good Fight” by Unspoken and Newsong’s “The Same God.” Morgan is married with two daughters and a son.

Jaime Jamgochian and Tyrus Morgan team up to release a 6-song EP, Christmastime. Produced by Morgan and Jay Speight, the project features three Christmas classics (with new arrangements) and three original songs that were co-written by Jamgochian, Morgan, and Speight. A bundle of three songs is going for adds at Christian radio with “Angels We Have Heard On High,” the title track and “12 Days Of Christmas – How I want to Sing,” which was one of last year’s surprise breakout singles at AC radio.

#1 Christian Song “Down by the River”

Artist Jordan Feliz

Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! as Scott shares the trek to a number one Christian song with new artist Jordan Feliz.

What artist launched his career as a hard-touring, heavy-metal singer, then switched gears to become a church worship leader before finally signing a Nashville record deal and making his mark as a songwriter and soulful R&B-groove-pop artist? Well, if the question comes up someday, you’ll already know the answer: Jordan Feliz.

Fronting the West Coast buzz band A Current Affair gave Jordan’s powerful vocals some major exposure right out of high school. The band performed on the Warped Tour and other high profile gigs before dissolving. But heavy metal was never Jordan’s passion; it was just a fun experience with his friends to grow musically.

After his move from California to Nashville, Jordan was invited to participate in an unsigned artists retreat hosted by Centricity Music. It was the combination of Jordan’s nuanced vocal abilities, the freshness of his retro-influenced melodies and songwriting, and his warm, enthusiastic personality that spurred label execs to take a closer look and ultimately sign him.

Jordan’s debut project, Beloved, brings the rich influence of 70’s sensibilities into a modern pop context. Intentionally constructing uncluttered tracks free of production tricks and excessive instrumentation, Jordan focused on arrangements that were designed to give the vocals center stage. The songs on the Beloved 10 song album are soul-influenced pop numbers, and the instruments present are articulate in their voicings and melodies, saying only as much as they need to. The song, “The River,” quickly skyrocketed the Christian Billboard charts to #1 and is still in the top ten today.

November 10

6:00 p.m. EST

Author and Entrepreneur

Michele McKnight Baker

Join us this week on Christian Devotions SPEAK UP! as Scott shares the Salvation Army work and writing passions of Michele McKnight Baker.

Michele McKnight Baker’s commercially published nonfiction book (Sandpaper Sisters: Addicts Turned Community Builders, Miracles Do Happen!) drew endorsements by Alma (Mrs. Colin) Powell, Tony Campolo (best-selling author on social justice issues), and Mary Pipher (author of Raising Ophelia). Recently, Michele has won awards in the Salvation Army’s national writers’ contest in both nonfiction and fiction, an excerpt from Soldier’s Heart garnering the fiction prize. Writing has always figured in Michele’s career, beginning as a journalist. No, earlier than that: as a fidgety grade schooler, shortest and second oldest in her class. She’s enjoyed building a successful marketing and business performance consulting firm, while earning a Ph.D. (Union Institute and University; undergraduate: Smith College) and teaching masters and undergraduate business courses. She considers it a privilege to currently serve as Director of Advancement for The Salvation Army, York, PA. Whether for business or general audiences, nonfiction or fiction, her writing is about giving voice to compelling stories, and to characters that haunt her until she has no choice but to listen, and scribe.

She is married to Frank, who has probably taken her to more Orioles and Giants baseball games than any other bi-coastal fan of teams that wear orange and black. They are the parents of Andrew and Dan. Dan and his wife Annie are the parents of a truly extraordinary daughter, Olivia Michele.
