Hopeful, Inspirational, Positive!

Brant Pethick is a GMA Covenant award winning Christian pop singer/songwriter from Ottawa, Canada, who focuses on writing and performing positive and hopeful inspirational anthems! 

Brant’s first live performance was in a church and since 2012 he has released 1 album, a 6 song EP and 6 singles. He was honored to receive a 2022 GMA Covenant Award for Canadian Christian Song of the Year for Hope (feat. Chelsea Amber) and a 2020 GMA Covenant Award for Seasonal Song of the Year for It's Christmas Time. His hooky melodic phrasing and passionate songwriting style has also resulted in a publishing deal, extensive radio play including 7 Top 10 singles that have charted for weeks on Christian radio, and multiple international songwriting awards in the Gospel/Christian category.

Brant has performed and collaborated with several prominent JUNO and Covenant award artists and producers such as Andrew Horrocks, Jaylene Johnson, Chelsea Amber, Arun Chaturvedi, Jesse Weeks and Colin Bernard.

With much anticipation, Brant’s latest EP called Hope is a collection of 6 inspirational uplifting songs that pursue hope through spirituality and is a collaboration with JUNO and Covenant award songwriters and artists. Brant recorded these songs which allow him to share and express encouragement through God's faithfulness.

 

The first single from this EP is the title-track Hope and features a duet with the soulful Chelsea Amber. Brant explains, “I wanted to write a song that focuses on renewing and strengthening our relationship with God, when faced with hardship in order to find hope. Whether it be in a time of self-reflection, in seeking guidance, or finding strength in our vulnerabilities, Hope provides the platform to become whole again.”

All 6 songs from Hope have been added to Christian radio rotation across Canada. Thank you Christian radio for all your support!
