Ricardo ‘Unmerited’ CD release
Be on the lookout for this album from Waymaker Records recording artist Ricardo - it releases today. Inspirational stations are already playing his first song - “I Call Your Name” - with a release to the Adult Contemporary stations (”Come Down”) due out by summer.
“Often people get wrapped up in the idea of ‘religion,’ but lack a real saving knowledge of who Jesus truly is - just like I had been,” explains Ricardo. “I hope to carry the message of truth that Christ is more than mere religion and encourage people towards a deep and personal relationship with Him.”
We will be posting an interview with Ricardo soon, so keep checking back for more info on that.
More info on Ricardo:
Ricardo is currently the minister of music and worship leader at the 1,700-member First Assembly Dream Center in his hometown of Scottsdale, Arizona, and has been both a youth and worship leader at a number of large churches across the country. He has also served as a touring musician, songwriting partner and co-worship leader with his long-time friend Israel Houghton - one of today’s most successful and sought-after worship leaders and recording artists. Now, fresh from his stint on the “So Natural Tour” with Salvador and By The Tree, Ricardo finds himself on the verge of a major national platform of his own.
“Ricardo’s ability to communicate relevantly to young and old through great musical skill with transparent cross-culture worship makes him such a refreshing gift to Christian music,” says Israel.
“I feel really settled in my spirit that I’m where the Lord wants me to be,” reflects Ricardo. “I love talking to people and discipling them. And I love playing and singing and leading worship.” Ricardo loves the mystery that is God and comments that, “I’m still not sure where God’s going to take me, but I’m ready to be and do whatever He wants.”
