Reaching the “Top Christian Album’s” billboard in June of 2024, with his first independently released album, The Prodigal, Josiah Queen has begun a new phase of Chrisitan music.
You may be wondering why Josiah Queen is any different than the many other Christian artist creating today?
The simple answer is this… his songs are taken directly from scripture. Every one of his songs connects back to a Biblical principle, and most connect back to a specific passage or story within scripture. Other artists often find themselves being inspired by one or two verses from the Bible, but Quen incorporates Bible stories into his music, helping listeners meditate on the power found within the stories and retain the Biblical truth with more ease. His continuous drive to consistently incorporate biblical truth into his music solidifies a foundation for his music career on truth, but it also connects his listeners directly with God’s word and provoke curiosity within their faith. Not only is he incorporating Biblical truth into his music, but his ultimate career goal is also to bring the divine to his listeners. Every concert, fan interaction, and song released is intended to glorify God and enrich the lives of individuals on a spiritual level.
Josiah Queens music has reached a very specific age demographic and quickly taken off as he has bridged a gap in the demand of indie style music that promotes the truth of the Bible. Queen tours with his brothers, wife, and close friends to perform across the globe, all while being an independent artist.
Josiah Queen to me is the epitome of the entrepreneur that I want to strive to be. He took the risk of not attending college to pursue a greater calling in life and grow the Kingdom with the uncertainty of what lies ahead. Josiah Queen also has not strayed from his beliefs and stands firm in who he is in Christ despite the pressure of the music industry and being an independent artist. Queen has carved a path for himself in the pursuit of his career, while fully relying on the Lord to provide the necessities to continue to glorify him in all he does.
I totally agree with you! Josiah Queen is a great role model for aspiring entrepreneurs because of his commitment and dedication to the Lord. Christ should be at the center of every decision in our lives and that is exactly what Queen is doing by following God’s plan for his life. His unique music style is unlike any other current Christian artist. He is bringing people, particularly the younger generation, closer to God through his music.
This was a great read. I haven’t heard of this artist before, but I will check him out now. This is another great example of an entrepreneur who did something unique by taking what is currently being done and adding his own unique twist to it. This inspires me to think about ways I can add my own twist to something and make a business out of it.
