Christians Musicians Alive is pleased to feature contemporary Christian rock/pop band, ALL TOGETHER UNITED with Matthew Ide (lead vocal), Jeremy Leets (guitars) & Chad Hampton (drums/founder). Do give a read and listen!
Please tell us about your musical journey in Christ. How long have you been making music? Any formal training? Professional experience?
ALL TOGETHER UNITED is a contemporary Christian rock/pop band. They combine elements of pop, rock, classic rock and worship to create a sound that competes with mainstream trends, but also allows them to be unique, with modern musical elements and a multiple harmonic classic rock vocals vibe. This blend is the like-minded vision of both founder/drummer Chad Hampton and lead singer Matthew Ide. Demonstrating Matt’s vocal range and harmonic abilities we feel is the key to helping ATU stand out from other similar Christian artists. Their mission is simple: To reach those who are hurting, those who are lost, those seeking happiness or a solution to their troubles, and even those who just need encouragement from God through the message in the music He’s given them to share.
What music inspires you the most (Christian or secular)? Name your favorites.
Honestly, we have influences from both Christian/CCM as well as secular. For example, our main influences consist of Newsboys, dc Talk, Audio Adrenaline on the CCM side & Queen, Beach Boys & Fall Out Boy on the secular side.
How has making music made a difference in your Christian walk?
I think that for us, it's given us a chance to fulfill our calling and giftings that we've been blessed with by God. It's given us focus & a greater purpose in life.
What do you do to stay sharp with your God given skills? Do you have a daily routine?
Well, I know we all try and get in our respective practice/rehearsal time on our own so that we're improving and staying sharp. (Chad) I know myself, personally, I'd love to have more time to practice and be on the drums than what I have now. I'm working on my schedule to better accommodate a more frequent, productive schedule. It's difficult as I am the lead business guy in the band & I'm doing other work for the band, besides my instrument, during the week.
What projects are you working on now? What are your hopes for them?
We're in the process of writing our new album right now. We're looking at a full-length album project for this new project with a mix of songs to appeal to a multitude of ages and listeners. Upbeat songs, rock heavy songs, ballads & even some acoustic & EDM style remixes.
What is your favorite Bible verse that inspires you to praise God through music?
(Chad) The two I use the most, both for myself as well as for the band are Mathew 6:33 and Philippians 4:13. Both mean a great deal to me for different reasons.
