Christian artist Jervis Campbell is exceptionally gifted at drawing universal spiritual messages from his personal relationship with God. The University of North Carolina graduate gained invaluable experience serving in the Campus Crusade for Christ band before relocating to Nashville in 2017 to pursue music full time. But instead of working within the CCM circuit exclusively, Campbell built a fanbase of both religious and secular listeners moved by his fusion of rock and soul shot through with the heart-thumping jubilation of contemporary praise and worship. This rousing energy carries over to his 2021 solo debut, Onward & Upward, and its pop-informed 2023 follow-up, Hopeful Hearts Club. On song after song Campbell sings with a passion for all humanity that feels guided by John 15:12: “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.”
