Building the Urban Praise & Worship Genre

Written By Sem Schaap

Fred Hammond is one of the most respected names in the music industry.

He is a Grammy Award-winning vocalist, songwriter, musician, producer and arranger, and the architect behind the genre of Urban Praise & Worship—a genre of gospel music that did not exist prior.

Fred speaks on the instruments he fell in love with at an early age, the influence of the R&B scene on his work (and how using that influence got him out of his own way in trying to write traditional gospel music), and the role that Christ-centered humility has played in his life and career.

We were honored to host this legend and discuss not only his significant contributions to gospel music, but the aspirations he has for his ongoing legacy.
