Biography:
Irish composers and artists Keith & Kristyn Getty are on a mission to revive the art of hymnody for a new generation.
“We believe in creating modern hymns for two reasons,” Keith explains. “First, they can teach us our faith in a fuller way through what they sing, and secondly, we want to attempt to create a more ‘timeless’ art form—music that people of every generation can sing now, and perhaps at best, can last throughout their lifetimes—art that transcends time and generation.”
