The Houston-born 29-year-old, who’d temporarily put the idea of making solo music on the back burner to keep building on his band’s success, craved the freedom to make music just for himself again, like he’d once done for eight hours daily in his college bedroom, classes and homework be damned.
Forrest’s expansive, needle-moving new project is the culmination of the ten years the producer and vocalist has put into honing his craft, from early days recording himself singing in the front seat of his car as he learned how to strengthen his voice, to his years tinkering with beats on his iPhone in his bedroom.
Forrest says. “Making music and putting myself so out there was a huge overcoming of those nerves and fear. To see the music so well-received is mind-boggling. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to fathom that it’s hitting so hard.”
Through his self sufficient learning of social media he has been able to create viral moments with a soundtrack that is shifting the christian music scene exponentially and only continues to grow on a daily basis.
