Becky Nordquist is a West Michigan based speaker, author, worship leader, songwriter, and recording artist.  A blend of pop, gospel, and folk sound, she offers an eclectic feel to worship and Christian Contemporary music. Studying with a variety of vocal coaches throughout her upbringing (everything from jazz and gospel to classical), she developed the ability to sing many different genres of music.  Her years of training have created a somewhat eclectic sound that is unique and powerful.

Not a stranger to trauma, grief and loss, her music breathes undertones of someone who has honestly traveled those roads and wrestled the dark places of faith necessary to knowing God in a deeply intimate way. Becky, along with Music for the Soul has just released their poignant project, "Before We Said Hello". Already receiving multiple accolades from various media professionals and highly regarded by those who are currently walking the journey of pregnancy and infant loss.

Her mission is to bring the mercy, grace, and love of God to those who are broken, wandering and wondering where God is in the midst of their suffering, as well as, lead His people into deep, honest and "All In" devotion.

Aaron Shust is in relentless pursuit of beauty, and it is that which lies behind his musical experimentation, his writing, his public ministry, and his tenacious grip on God’s word. It has driven his music since the beginning, well before his early success when he was named the 2007 Songwriter of the Year and New Artist of the Year and wrote the Song of the Year, “My Savior My God.”

His muses are a deep love for the Bible, instilled in him at an early age, the glory of creation, and the nurturing community of his family. He loves the promises of God, which have carried him through diagnoses of Down Syndrome and chronic illness for two of his sons, as well as the deaths of loved ones, and have inspired his recording of the anthems of faith “My Hope is in You,” which spent 14 weeks at #1, and “No One Higher,” as well as resolved declarations of worship like “Ever Be,” which debuted at #3 on the NCA chart.

Shust’s commitment to the fulfillment of the beauty of the Gospel has led him around the world to lead worship with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. With Will Graham, the artist has traveled to Canada, Romania, Hawaii and Scotland. His travels yield a celebration of global sounds, such as ukuleles, bagpipes, brass, and Middle Eastern percussion, all featured in his new album, “Nothing to Fear.” He has spent considerable time in ministry and collaboration in Israel, where he again declares God’s promises for his people in the song, “Zion.” In 2014, Aaron recorded his Christmas album, “Unto Us,” with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, which has been hailed a “musical masterpiece.”

Todd is the coordinator of Songwriting, Music Composition, and Music Theory at Indiana Wesleyan University.  Since starting at IWU in 2000, he has created and developed both the Music Composition Program and, with the guidance of Gloria Gaither, the Songwriting Program. 

As an educator, Todd has proven to take the complexities of various creative pursuits, and present them in manageable portions so students could find success.  This ability, combined with his own success as a Songwriter, make him a much sought after clinician and mentor within the world of musical and lyrical creation. 

Todd would say he is a storyteller who has been trained in music and much of his time is spent creating in the realm of Musical Theater, both for the stage and the screen.  However, he strives to combine his two worlds, Songwriter and Educator, as often as possible by allowing his students to serve as integral parts of realizing his works and making them available to listeners around the world.
