Classical/Pop artist, Daniel Kirkley, just completed his first major Christian radio tour that took him to ten states throughout the southwest, midwest, and southeast. Kirkley traveled almost 6,000 miles by car while visiting twenty-three radio stations promoting his new song, Heavenly, the second single from Let Love Win, his debut CD on Centricity Records. The first single, My New Dawn, reached #18 on the Christian Radio Weekly chart and is now being serviced to mainstream AC radio.

Kirkley’s radio tour began in early July and started in the midwest before heading south. The two-week trip wound up back home in Tennessee. “Over the past couple of weeks, I have had the privilege of traveling around and meeting the radio staff at a number of Christian stations across the country, says Kirkley. “It’s always such a joy to fellowship with my fellow brothers and sisters. For me though, this trip had an additional blessing…I was able to witness how these men and women partner & invest so personally into the lives of their community! Seeing their faithfulness with the ministry God has given them was a wonderful thing.”

“Heavenly,” has already received three early adds before the radio promo trip and more adds are expected soon.

Media continues to embrace Kirkley with recent television appearances/tapings on CTN/The Good Life, Daystar/Celebration, Life Today with James Robison, Tennessee Mornings/Fox 17 in Nashville, LeSea Broadcasting/The Harvest Show. Kirkley has already appeared on Crystal Cathedral, Cornerstone TV, CTN/Nashville Bridges, and morning shows in Kansas City, Birmingham, and Knoxville.

Kirkley has an upcoming review in the July issue of Worship Leader magazine and feature on The Bridge (formerly WorldofCM.com), feature on Entertainmentwatch.net, along with previous news coverage in Radio & Records and All Access. Earlier reviews are glowing in their remarks about the incredible vocals of this fresh new talent.

“At a time when some Christian music insiders have been complaining about the dearth of new male solo artists, along comes a guy who is grabbing the industry by the ears.”
Billboard Magazine

“In the vein of vocal greats like Josh Groban and Steve Green, singer Daniel Kirkley releases Let Love Win.”
Christian Retailing

“Melodic, strong, and undeniable, the vocals on this once aspiring doctor proves he was made to sing. Not to mention as a co-writer of four tracks, he also has insight into the inner lives of everyday people.”
CBN.com

“With production evenly split between Matt Bronleewe (Michael W. Smith) and Mark Hammond (Nichole Nordeman), Let Love Win features Kirkley’s beautiful tenor soaring over glossy strings, keyboards, and pop ballad production.”
Christianity Today/ChristianMusicToday.com

Kirkley’s songwriting partners are equally impressed by this talented newcomer.

“Daniel has this voice that just makes you want to sit up a little taller and bring something more beautiful to the table of worship…something more than we’re accustomed to bringing. Once I heard that voice, I was both inspired and intimidated to write something remotely worthy of it.”
Nichole Nordeman

“It has been years since I have heard a voice as rich and timeless as Daniel’s. I have loved the opportunity to write with him and hear his heart for God. I think audiences will be blown away by his talent. I think he is the fresh face that Christian music has been waiting for.”
Cindy Morgan

Let Love Win is specially priced at $17.99 or less at participating Canadian Christian retailers. For more information on Kirkley, please visit his YMZ artist page.
