Fred Hammond

Since his landmark days with Commissioned, Fred Hammond has evolved into one of Gospel music’s most coveted artists. His anointed vocals and timeless lyrics are behind such classics as “No Weapon”, “Let The Praise Begin”, “Glory To Glory To Glory” and “Jesus Be A Fence Around Me”. His latest release, Love Unstoppable is the seventh release from this Stellar, Dove and Grammy® Award winner.

Dubbed as the “Architect of Urban Praise & Worship”, his talents have taken him to recent success with stage plays, church tours and the establishment of Hammond Music, a label imprint distributed through Verity Records.

Always a prolific producer, Fred recorded most of this album live in studio using a concept he calls “Warehouse Worship”. This innovative presentation of his music has become a DVD series that also includes dance, inspirational messages and vignettes dealing with everyday challenges.

The track “They That Wait” features guest vocals from John P. Kee.

Fred Hammond’s name has become synonymous with great Gospel music. As a musician, he revolutionized the genre, carving out the niche that we call modern contemporary Gospel music, first as part of the group Commissioned, and then as a choir leader and solo artist.

As a songwriter and producer, he has developed a sound all his own and created another musical sub-genre in urban Praise & Worship music.

Few artists can boats the consistency in sales, radio airplay and concert appearances which Hammond has achieved over the course of his career. His projects have received and been nominated for every major award including the Grammy®, the NAACP Image, Stellar, Dove and GMWA Excellence Awards as well as gold and platinum certifications.
