Signifies work, worship, and service.
Combined, Kavodah captures the heart of this project: creating music that worships our Father in soul and spirit.
EDM Rooted In Messianic Theology
I spent years thinking I could listen to any type of music without it affecting me. But God began to convict me.
I realized that what I meditate on regularly matters because it gets into my heart and eventually spills out into my life.
For several years, I only listened to worship music, like Upper Room, SOLU Israel, and Joshua Aaron. Eventually, I missed the EDM sound of Avicii, the trap beats of Alison Wonderland, and the new soul blues of Gary Clark Jr, just to name a few. So I started producing my own electronic music with lyrics rooted in scripture and Messianic theology.
Rooted in the ancient words of the Bible, my lyrics tell Messianic stories to move your heart and stir your soul toward the world to come. So fill your mind, heart, and soul with music that centers you on God—the Creator of every good thing!
I hope my music will bless you, fill your heart with love for the Father, and stick with you throughout the day as you worship with soul and spirit.
Ancient Words. Modern Worship.
Modern synthesizers, drum machines, and digital production tools do exactly what Temple instruments did—they manipulate frequency, rhythm, and harmonic content to create an encounter with the Divine. The technology changed. The principle didn't.
A 128 BPM kick drum creates the same rhythmic entrainment that frame drums did in Davidic worship. A synth pad generates sustained tones the same way a choir of Levites created vocal drones. A drop builds and releases tension just like the moment when trumpets and cymbals sounded together and "the glory of the Lord filled the temple."
The real question isn't whether EDM belongs in worship.
It's whether we're willing to see that worship has always been about intentional sound design—and that our digital tools are just the modern version of what the ancients already knew.
