Adam Cunningham Release

Posted by Kevan Breitinger Dec 4, 2006

Already a celebrated worship leader, newcomer Adam Cunningham led worship on the 2006 Dove Award-winning album, "His Renown," as well as on the Dove Award-nominated album, "The Word Alive."

The heartfelt songs on "Adam Cunningham" are a worshipful testament to his deep love for God, and a spiritual inspiration to all who hear them. The album showcases the engaging strength and range of Adam’s warm voice and charismatic presence.

Many of the songs on the album were written shortly after his second son was miraculously healed. It took this awesome miracle in Adam’s life to make God real to him, and it is this vivid certainty of God’s unfathomable power, love, and forgiveness that led to this 28- year-old becoming the passionate worship leader and songwriter he is today.

Adam grew up in a Christian home outside Muscatine, Iowa, and added his vocals to his family’s singing ministry when he was just seven years old—the year he also began classical music training. After his son’s healing, Adam began playing guitar for the first time since he

was a child, and started writing songs. “I hadn’t owned a guitar for years,” he says, “but suddenly I had songs I had to write, and I realized how much I loved music—that it was a gift God had given me to use.”

Adam began leading worship at his church in Mocksville, North Carolina, and was then invited to become the worship leader at the thriving Calvary Baptist Church near Winston-Salem. During the one- and-a-half years he ministered there, the worship service grew 400 percent from three hundred attendees to twelve hundred. He is currently the worship leader at The Loop, a popular citywide, non-denominational young adults ministry in Nashville, Tennessee.

In March 2006 Trackstar Recordworks offered Adam a record deal, and he recorded his self-titled debut, "Adam Cunningham," during the summer at the legendary Sound Kitchen. The first single “You Are My God” goes to radio in January 2007.
