==Artists Featured on Latter-day Saint Music==
  
MormonMusic.org will provide a rich and flexible platform for online music lovers to stream, download, and enjoy both prominent and new or up-and-coming LDS musical selections—from jazz piano and classical guitar to inspirational vocals and seasonal choral numbers. First featured artists include Abe Mills, [[Jon Schmidt]], [[Hilary Weeks]], [[Kenneth Cope]], [[Michael Dowdle]], [[Jessie Clark Funk]], [[Jenny Oaks Baker]], [[Sam Payne]], and scores more. In addition to these well-known Wasatch Front musicians, over 800 musical selections from newly discovered LDS singers and musicians worldwide, performing in their native language, are featured on the site.

You will find and experience the music of seasoned music veterans, as well as some newcomers to the music business.
  
While a couple other LDS Music sites stream music to listeners, MormonMusic.org is unique in its design, functionality, and intent. Features of MormonMusic.org, developed by Heather Newell, include user-generated playlists—topically, or by genre or artist; top-rated LDS songs, customized user profiles (with favorite albums, videos, most recently played songs); favorites-ranking; selected free downloads of prominent and newly discovered LDS music talent; LDS music news; and variable, embeddable playlists. The site will also highlight each artist, sharing not only their music and upcoming venues, but their lives and beliefs through personal biographies, photo and video galleries, and link-backs to the artists’ own websites and blogs.

More than 170 Latter-day Saint artists are already profiled on the site. Some of the featured artists include Nik Day, [[JTM]], [[David Osmond]], David Archuleta, [[Lindsey Stirling]], [[Alex Boye|Alex Boyé]], Anna Richey, Bryce Romney, Yahosh Bonner, Jennifer Thomas, Monica Scott, Belle Jewel, Eclipse 6, The Five Strings, Marj Desius, and Enliven to name but a few. Other Latter-day Saint artists have expressed their interest in being a part of Mormon Music and will be profiled on the website soon. Some of our most recent additions include rising artists [http://mormonmusic.org/mormon-artists/payton-kemp/ Payton Kemp], a young actor and a singer from American Fork, Utah, and [http://mormonmusic.org/mormon-artists/reese-oliveira/ Reese Oliveira], a young soprano who sings with the ever popular [http://www.onevoicechildrenschoir.com/ One Voice Children's Choir].
  
This site signifies a significant milestone for the More Good Foundation in reaching out across media channels via MormonMusic.org. According to MGF President, Jonathan Johnson, “The vision is multi-dimensional. First, it is a way to extend the powerful, spirit-filled, expressive medium of music to those across the globe from Kiev to Quatar, some of whom may not have immediate or any access to affordable LDS CDs—providing them with some free downloadable selections of quality orchestral, instrumental, or vocal music streaming in their homes that might not otherwise be possible. Secondly, the site is intended to be a gathering place for friends of other faiths to have a glimpse into our lives and music. By getting to know our artists, listening to uplifting music and reading about their faith-infused lives, misperceptions about us as a people will likely be dispelled and doors opened to conversations about our beliefs.”
