Inspirational and Christian music has come a real long way since the beginning.  Now, it does not matter what your favorite musical flavor happens to be, you will be able to find Christian music that fits pretty much any genre.  If you think I’m kidding, then read below for some interesting genres that have found a home fitting into the Christian genre too.

Rap

TobyMac – TobyMac began his career in the Christian Rap genre with the group dcTalk.  After the band split in 2000, TobyMac set out to start hi solo career, and it has been a marvelous career so far.  The artist captures listeners of all types of Christian music with his touching lyrics, yet he invites in those who have never listened to Christian music with the sound and flow of the music behind the lyrics, all the while sharing the joy of Christ.

Group 1 Crew – This group, Group 1 Crew, is a Christian hip hop band that made their debut in the year 2007.  They have been nominated for and won numerous Dove Awards since they began performing together, and like TobyMac, they appeal to both lovers of Christian music and to those who may not otherwise listen to Christian music.

Metal

Skillet – In 1996 the band Skillet came together to perform.  This band performs some pretty hard rock hits, and they are able to reach across the genres and outside of the Christian genre to spread the word about God to metal lovers.

Red –  Red is another Christian rock band pushing the boundaries genre-wise and spreading lyrics that are thought provoking and driven to spread the Gospel.  The band was even nominated for Grammy Awards for the Best Rock Album.

Thousand Foot Krutch – Thousand Foot Krutch, or TFK, as their fans say is a rocking Christian band from Canada that came together in 1997.  They have earned many awards for their works, and they continue to play and intrigue all types of fans.

Punk

Hawk Nelson – Like TFK, Hawk Nelson hails from Canada.  The group tends to perform upbeat and positive punk inspired tunes.  They have gone mainstream with a lot of their works, appearing on television shows, singing in movies, and being featured on commercials for things like Sunday Night Football.

Relient K – The band Relient K formed during their junior year of high school in the year 1998. They have been well received in mainstream music as well thanks to two of their studio albums.
