Musically, Andrew produces high quality moral content with the aim to express the goodness, beauty and love within each human. His ambition is to teach young people the value of being good by producing content that highlights the beauty of everyday, ordinary life.
Ronin Hashimoto started writing music at age 14. He is now a 17-year-old student at Notre Dame Catholic High School. In his free time, he still enjoys writing and recording rap music. Ronin takes inspiration from a variety of rap’s many subgenres and wants his lyrics to express his love for God.
Owain Davies is 16 and lives in Almonte with his older sister and parents. He is in grade 11 at Notre Dame Catholic High School in Carleton Place and attends a Down Syndrome school called Dragonfly on Tuesdays.
Landon Bedor is a 19-year-old singer, songwriter, producer and guitar instructor from a small town in Ontario. His sound blends country roots with a soulful, rock edge — and it’s been turning heads since he was discovered by award-winning musicians at just 12 years of age. Since then Landon’s been in the studio, building a sound that’s entirely his own. He recently completed the Music Business Fundamentals Certification Program through Berklee School of Music, giving him a solid foundation not just as an artist, but as a music professional. He’s had the chance to share the stage with Jason Blaine, performing at the Jason Blaine Annual Charity Golf Classic in 2022 and the 10th annual golf classic in 2024.
