By combining an energetic blend of pop, soul and gospel music the Canadian-based band Newworldson is impacting audiences around the world with an innovative sound and compelling message.
“I hope that people are uplifted at our concerts,” frontman Joel Parisien said. “Our songs are often inspired by our own life experiences. I think there’s a lot of power in using personal testimonies and converting them into songs.”
Over the past few years the group has performed concerts in North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand.
Songs that minister
“If people are attending a concert or listening to our albums, I hope it inspires them to draw closer to God and the songs are able to minister to them,” Parisien said. “Even though what we’re doing artistically is very eclectic, it’s centered around celebrating God and praising Him. We want our lives to reflect the gospel message and the power of Christ’s example displayed to those around us, that city on a hill that cannot be hidden.”
Wherever the group performs they hope to connect audiences with the truth of the gospel.
Challenges of life
“We’re definitely living in a time when people are being challenged financially and those burdens end up leaking over into their marriages and jobs,” Parisien said. “We want to provide a message of hope through our music by pointing people to Christ. We want to give people more than just entertainment. In John 14:6 Jesus said, ‘I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.’
“At our concerts, when people are searching for truth and looking for an answer, we want to be really clear with our response and provide a strong beacon of hope.”
