Christian music has grown in popularity in the last twenty years. The talent that has become part of the Christian music industry is amazing. Young and old have become current but still have stayed close to their beliefs and preaching through their music. Christian music has even weaved itself into Hollywood by being played on hit movies and TV shows. There are so many great Christian music artists but there are three that definitely stand out in the year 2011.
One of the best of 2011 is Lecrae. This artist has been around longer than just 2011 but he has become popular in 2011 for his passion for the gospel and his desire for men to be men. His songs speak directly to men on many occasions and shares with them the desire God has for them as men. He is not only a very talented singer but also a great man.
Another Christian music artist that has had 2011 in her hands is Natalie Grant. Natalie Grant has been singing since she was a little girl and has become an artist in the music industry. She has also been around for a while but in 2011, she has had many hit songs and amazing appearances. She is a very sweet and humble woman who has become a wife and mother right in front of our eyes.
The other Christian music artist that has stolen the show in 2011 is the band Casting Crowns. Casting Crowns has been part of the music industry for over 10 years and each year they seem to get better and better. They never cease to amaze us with amazing songs and uplifting stories. These men are all youth pastors that just love music and to sing. They created their band to do what they love but they make sure they are back at their churches on Sunday morning to the other job they love which is leading youth to a different kind of life.
