Since his debut, Queen has gained recognition for his creative spins on traditional Christian melodies as well as his powerful vocals and dedication to the authentic Christian life. He was named the #1 New Christian Artist of 2024, and his influence has only grown with the release of his sophomore album, Mt. Zion. Queen’s cover of “I’ll Fly Away” hit No. 25 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart.
“With a heart to serve both the Church and the world through music, Josiah crafts songs filled with faith, honesty, and hope.”
