Joel Vaughn grew up pursuing one passion. To create music and lead people to Christ. He started out as a worship leader and then stepped out to pursue full-time music ministry. He started writing & recording his own songs and shared the stories behind them at concerts and worship services several nights of the week while he was a college student. People began to respond to the message He was sharing. Before He knew it he was touring consistently and his music was being played nationally on radio stations as an independent recording artist. In 2015 He was nominated for “The Next Big Thing” award by New Release Today’s We Love Christian Music Awards. The following year He signed his first record deal and things took off.
