Christopher Lewis is a man of the people, with a deep seared passion and heart after God. Lewis is no stranger to the industry, with eyes toward the sky and the spirit of a born worshipper. He and his untiring team at Frontline Entertainment Inc., are adrenalized by their most recent partnership with Indianapolis-based, Tyscot Records, the nation's oldest running Gospel independent label -- all this, in conjunction with the impending release of Lewis' 5th project entitled "Crisis".
Crisis, embodies Lewis' signature style of exuberant praise combined with elements of R& B, Rock, Hip Hop, Contemporary Gospel, Urban & Neo-soul, Rap, and Traditional Gospel, all resulting in "a cutting-leading-edge style of worship". This project also offers up an impassioned vocal performance guaranteed to evoke adoration and reverence across all age groups, nationalities, cultural barriers and denominations. Lewis says, Crisis... is all about transition, designed to shift the mindset from a state of impasse to a state of great expectation and ultimately birth you into your destined place of promised manifestation. There is something for everyone who has ever been through something and this is just one of the many messages that “Crisis” communicates.
I am honored that God allows me to be a living testament to the fact that no matter what you go through, or what life throws your way, you can make it. I am reminded that the things of this word are temporal… you can and you will survive any crisis, that comes… you will conquer every stumbling block that presents itself, and nothing will keep you from God’s pre-ordained destiny. Crisis not only inspires human morality, it embraces the intimate relationship we have with our “Father”, establishes our identity in him, and shows us how God continues to reach beyond our faults to meet our needs."
Opening as an edgy, in your face expression of praise and worship, this project confronts real life issues that go beyond the four walls of the sanctuary. Crisis goes from a whisper to a roar; a spine-tingling witness to God's greatness that falls nothing short of majestic – while making a soulful impact. Standouts on this project include the rousing ,“How Does It Feel”, "Man Inside Of Me" and "Show Me The Way" – featuring the award winning, Bishop Paul S. Morton Sr. From start to finish, the 22-track soul winning, double-disc, showcases the multi-genre, strong songwriting, producing, unrelentingly soaring vocals and true anointing of Christopher Lewis.
Lewis grew up immersed in church music. Born around 1971 in Goldsboro, North Carolina. His father, Johnny Lewis, was a Deacon in the Central Heights, Free Will Baptist Church and sang in a local quartet while his mother; Ella Lewis was a lead singer in the church choir. Lewis is the youngest of the three children and while Gospel music was the preferred choice at home other sounds managed to make their way into Christopher’s hearing to include the likes of James Taylor, The Beatles, Billie Holiday and Sam Cooke along with gospel giants like Shirley Ceasar, Andre Crouch and The Hawkins Singers all were instrumental influences. Christopher is an ordained minister who accepted his calling into ministry at age 7. At age 8, he composed his first song appropriately entitling it “Jesus Is Calling” . By the time he was in the tenth grade, he had composed several songs including one that is now know around the world, “Sing Praises To Thee,” recorded by gospel artist Judith Christie-McAllister, and sung by choirs everywhere.
His passionate praise and worship sound continues to be celebrated across the globe from the USA to the UK to Japan. Lewis continues to garner local and global recognition alongside numerous award nominations to include being named “Georgia Music Industry Songwriter of the Year and Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) Songwriter of the Year in 2002. He has performed with some of the country’s most well known artists to include Kirk Franklin, Trinity 5-7, Daryl Coley, Donnie McClurkin, Darlene McCoy, Ron Winans and Tremaine Hawkins and a host of others.
Earlier this year, Lewis hit the road on a 10-city UK tour making appearances in Northampton, Manchester, Reading, Liverpool and London, in support of his award winning and "Most Distinguished Album", released in 2002, -- “Life”, and his other projects Rhythm & Praise, Honest Heart and his Gospel Worship DVD “Plugged In”, a live recording of refreshing acoustic songs of worship, currently aired on BET Video Gospel. His signature style and charisma was seen as an undeniable showstopper and in a matter of months this dynamism has promoters bringing Christopher to Japan and back to the United Kingdom (UK) again in October 2007.
Christopher is the CEO of Frontline Entertainment Inc., an independent record label and JonEboi (pronounced Johnnyboy) Music, a publishing company. Currently residing in Atlanta, GA, Lewis is the proud father of four beautiful children, BrYan, Christopher, Lauren and Alex.There is nothing but success and determination in tote.

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, not to worry about the future, or not to anticipate troubles, but to live in the present moment wisely and earnestly.
Make a gift of your life and lift all mankind by being kind, considerate, forgiving, and compassionate at all times, in all places, and under all conditions, with everyone as well as yourself. This is the greatest gift anyone can give.
The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal. It can't be organized or regulated. It isn't true that everyone should follow one path. Listen to your own truth.
“Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength. NAMASTE MAKEDA
Yo, what up. im still hittin you up cuz you don't visit on a regular basis. anyway, these are the shirts from that "I'M ON IT" video that we have for sell. we got colors to match your school, organizations, new jays, whatever. we got limited quantities of each so hit us up ASAP. and if you don't see the colors that you want, hit us up with those colors and we will see what we can do.
some people are innate risk takers. while others choose to play it safe. i can admit that playing it safe gives me a sense of security, but risk-taking can be effective, especially if it's a life-changing risk. how would you know if it's life changing ?
