What Is The New Wave?

The New Wave is a creative project spotlighting what God is doing in the margins of the music world. We tell stories, interview artists, write commentary, and build tools that help you discover the most honest, excellent, and spiritually awake sounds coming out of this generation.

Who Runs This Thing?

I'm Drew — a songwriter based in Nashville with a deep love for art that’s both theologically grounded and creatively disruptive.I started The New Wave because I think Christian music deserves better: not safer, not cheesier, but truer and more alive.I care about the sacred and the strange. I live for late-night living room jam sessions, road trips with Buc-ee’s pit stops,and those weird moments when a song feels like it’s reading your soul.

What Kind of Music Do We Cover?

💡 Innovative

We highlight artists who take risks — with sound, lyrics, and form. These are creators making music that surprises, stretches, and stirs the soul.

🛠 Independent

Whether signed or not, these artists move with the spirit of independence. They build their own lanes and stay true to their convictions.

🔥 Inspired

The music we feature feels alive — sparked by faith, wrestling, wonder, and holy discontent. It’s not industry filler. It’s born from something deeper.

🎯 Intentional

Every sound, lyric, and detail is crafted with care. These artists are less concerned with going viral and more concerned with telling the truth.
