by revelife crewThis week's RevelifeRocks Artist of the Week is Daniel Renstrom. Daniel is a rising star in the Christian indie music scene. His "day job" sounds like a good one as well: worship leader for the college ministry at Providence Baptist Church in Raleigh, NC.
Daniel's music is self-described as acoustic-driven pop/rock. Unlike many songwriters, he didn't play guitar before he walked or even graduated college. With only a few years under his belt, he's crafting artful worship tunes that are ministering to many around the country. His musical influences include Counting Crows, Keith Green, U2, and Radiohead.
Daniel's debut EP,
Adore and Tremble, is a mix of traditional hymns and original songs. Fans are spreading the six-song album, polished by renowned producer Nathan Nockels, by word of mouth and blog. The album actually broke into the Top 100 Christian albums on iTunes, which is a remarkable accomplishment for an new unsigned artist's debut project.
Check out Daniel's song "At the Cross" which is finding its way into more and more worship services.
