Steven Malcolm: With five Dove Award nominations to his name, his music has inspired millions worldwide. He’s collaborated with some of the biggest names in the industry, and now he’s taking the stage at Backstage: Unplugged for a special hometown show.
Allison Eide: Allison Eide is a singer-songwriter and artist from the heart of Minnesota. The Minneapolis native began her music career at the age of 12, when she performed and toured with her father, Peder Eide who has been a national singer-songwriter and worship artist for 25+ years. Allison has followed in Peder’s footsteps by branching into her own musical career…
From the first song she composed on her piano at the age of six to her highly anticipated new single, Love Who I Am (reaching over 1.5 million people around the world only a few weeks into its release), the vocal and piano pairing is quickly paving a way for herself in the music industry. After finishing her career as a successful four-year NCAA athlete, Allison launched her first solo tour around the US sharing all new and unreleased songs, garnishing fans and followers from every location. Through her contagious songs on social media and inspiring live show, her new music is in growing demand. Combined with the wisdom of an old soul, her rich voice and witty lyrics, there is a sense of true friendship and honesty that you receive from her goofy and confident presence.
Intertwined in the joy of her music, Allison’s mission is to help bring freedom to those struggling with mental illness. While the majority of her personal story stems from her own mental health struggles, she expresses, I long for each of my listeners to feel seen and known in the body and mind each lives in right now, being pulled out of isolation and welcomed into belonging. It’s about time that people know they are not alone.
Sean Rodriquez: Known for songs like Center Stage (2023) and Step Into My Story (2022) under his former moniker Sean BE, pastor-turned-singer-songwriter Sean Rodriguez, along with his family, relocated from Colorado to Nashville in 2022. Their mission? To create Christ-centered music that spreads hope and encourages families. We pray the seeds planted today lead to incredible growth tomorrow, says Sean.
In 2023, Sean was a featured artist on the Winter Jam Tour, sharing his message across the country. His pre-tour single, Center Stage, has over 2.5 million streams, leading into his latest release, The Unbelievable. Sean views music as an extension of ministry, aiming to reach more hearts.
In July 2024, Sean releases Jesus Will, a song inspired by the unexpected loss of his aunt. The heartfelt lyrics reflect finding hope and strength in God during difficult times.
Sean’s music is deeply rooted in his grandfather’s legacy, a pastor who has been preaching for over 40 years. This connection inspired House of God (June 2024), with his grandfather featured in the music video. Growing up in a diverse church community shaped Sean’s faith and continues to fuel his purpose.
Guided by Ephesians 3:20, Sean believes everyone has a unique, God-given purpose. God gave us purpose, so we have to LIVE on purpose, he concludes. To Him be the glory throughout all generations, forever and ever, Amen.
Trey Simon: After starting to play guitar at age 12, and working with a few different label/production companies around Detroit, Trey eventually wound up singing and leading worship in the Oakland Church for the past few years.
As his own music was continuing to develop, he began to pursue how best to launch his own independent music, by seeking out counsel and direction, which lead him to Nashville, and ultimately began to build his team around this idea.
Trey has now joined with Manager and Record Executive Michael Blanton (Amy Grant, Michael W Smith, Rich Mullins, and Reunion Records) for the past year for executive management and direction.
Blanton introduced Trey to Producer Bryan Todd (Michael W Smith, Danny Gokey, CeCe Winans) a Grammy nominated, Multi-Platinum credited producer for new song and track development, which led to finding the song, Crosses.
Trey Simon has been fortunate to have opened for artists such as Patti Labelle, Andy Grammer & Andra Day, and most recently has been invited by BMI, his performing rights organization to play at some of their showcases around the country. As a result performed at BMI’s CRS Conference this March in Nashville.
