Howard Gripp is a Wisconsin-based artist who transitioned from a rock ‘n’ roll background to fully embrace the Christian Contemporary/Rock genre.
With a heart for ministry and a sound that blends raw emotion with uplifting power, Howard’s music is known for its strong, inspirational messages — designed to touch souls and remind listeners they are not alone.
Though new to the Christian music scene, Howard brings years of
experience and a bold, fresh perspective. His songs have been praised
for their emotional depth and impact, with listeners saying,
“Very powerful! Your songs could save lives!” and “When I Pray has
touched my life.“ Howard’s musical journey began at age six on the
drums, eventually leading to a career performing in rock bands,
including recording a CD with a Los Angeles label.
After a life-changing encounter with Jesus, he walked away from secular music to follow a calling: to create songs that glorify God and bring hope. In 2024, Howard released his debut EP, Rescued Redeemed Forgiven, recorded in Nashville with renowned producers. The six-song collection addressed
real-life challenges with themes of redemption, resilience, and faith.
His breakout single, Hello It’s Me, gained national attention, winning
Music Video of the Year from X-Poze-Ing, Magic Silver Screen
Films, and the Couch Film Festival.
Howard’s momentum continued in early 2025 as he attended the
We Love Christian Music Awards, walking the red carpet and connecting
with the national Christian music community.

"Welcome To Your Life" , that will be released this summer.

- Best Christian Album of the Year (Rescued Redeemed Forgiven) – Rampage Music Awards
- Best Christian Song of the Year (He Rescued Me – Acoustic) – Rampage Music Awards

With growing recognition and a deep sense of purpose, Howard remains committed to creating music that points people to Jesus — and reminds them that change, healing, and freedom are always possible.
