Fred Hammond

With a string of hits in the Gospel Chart and respectable placings in the Billboard mainstream and R&B Charts, multiple Dove Award Winner and Grammy Award nominee Fred Hammond is a truly successful crossover artist.

His stature within the gospel genre rose considerably after he formed Radical For Christ, a successful choir with millions of album sales to their credit. His 2004 album Something 'Bout Love, released under his own name, went to number four in the Billboard R&B charts followed by number one placings in the Gospel Chart for Love Unstoppable in 2009, God Love And Romance in 2012 and The United Tenors in 2013. Although a bass player by trade, Hammond is a highly respected arranger, producer and songwriter and as well as his own chart topping releases he has collaborated with artists such the Williams Brothers, Yolanda Adams and Israel & New Breed on numerous successful projects.
