immrblack Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 so what are they like a group? do they sing? have people heard of them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerome1232 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 (edited) Choir singing isn't a contemporary style, which is what I imagine the original poster meant.Would Lindsay Stirling be an example? She does a mix up of violin/electronic. Edited September 12, 2013 by jerome1232 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
immrblack Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Actually in some circles it might even be considered Alternative. The judges will accept that answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
estradling75 Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Hmmm Your Profile say you are Mormon... You claim 20 years musical experience.. But you don't know what the Mormon Tabernacle Choir is??? Something is off about that... Explain please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 so what are they like a group? do they sing? have people heard of them?It's a choir and they sing and they're quite popular. Their Christmas albums are great. They sang with Josh Gorban for the song Noel which was nominated for a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocals in 2009. Battle Hymn of the Republic won a Grammy for Best Pop Performance by a Group or Chorus in 1960. You can search for that in YouTube. They typically hold Christmas concerts with guest singers like Gladys Knight and Jane Seymour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Now, if we're just talking LDS artists, not necessarily LDS songs... there's David Archuleta, and there's the band Awesome (the lead singer is LDS). I don't know if the Osmonds still make music but they're also LDS. Gladys Knight is LDS since 2007 but ever since she became LDS she has not released a solo album. She does have a choir that produces albums. Can't remember the name of the choir, but they're also good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerome1232 Posted September 13, 2013 Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 John Peter Lewis is putting out stuff. But Anatess brought up a very good point, are you looking for artists that put out LDS music or just music that happens to made by a person who is LDS, I was under the assumption of the later.

immrblack Posted September 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2013 Moderator I was joking about the MTC. Of course I know who they are!! Anatess yes Lindsey is one of the artists I will be playing. She does great with the combination of violin and electronic dance music. Another artist in that genre that I like is a fellow named Kascade who graduated from BYU and has a bunch of great songs. I'll also consider bands that have Mormons in the group, like Neon Trees. And others that have members that are LDS. And covers of traditional LDS songs. They don't all have to be traditional songs though. Im looking for moden and current sounding. Could be David archuletta could be the RM soundtrack. As long as its good and there's a Mormon connection. I even want to hear unsigned artists..as long as they have professionally produced tracks, I'll give them consideration. Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep em coming and if you have any friends who are musicians tell them to contact me. You can do so thru my website at ldsaints.com. Thanks again!

milocraft Posted September 15, 2013 Report Share Posted September 15, 2013 As an LDS musician, I am especially interested in making modern music that encourages Christianity. I recently released an electronica style Christ centered Christmas album. Check out "Epic Carols" at milocraft | Mega-Delight In A Sonic Form Factor.You can stream the entire album for free. It is also available for purchase at every major music distributor (iTunes, Amazon.com, Google Play, etc.)If you have any marketing suggestions please let me know. I'm eager to get it out there for the next Christmas season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windseeker Posted September 16, 2013 Report Share Posted September 16, 2013 Mindy Gledhill is an LDS indie artist. I like her voice. She also has a Christmas Album (Winter Moon). Mindy Gledhill - Indie singer songwriter that will leave you floating like a scoop of vanilla ice cream in a strawberry soda.Mindy GledhillShe kind of fits with my favorite non-lds female artists (A Fine Frenzy, Agnes Obel, Emiliana Torrini, Soley, Gemma Hayes).

immrblack Posted September 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yes to Mindy Gledhill. She has quite a few songs that will put her in the core artist catagory. Any other LDS singer/songwriters you like? Other then Christmas music, any covers you like? For example a cover of Amazing Grace or Jesus wants me for a sunbeam?
