GRAMMY-nominee and double Dove-Award-winning artist FORREST FRANK has announced his 2025 "CHILD OF GOD TOUR Part 2." Featuring Elevation Rhythm in support, following the massive success of his 2024 stretch, the tour will make a stop in Grand Rapids, MI at Van Andel Arena on Monday, March 31. Tickets are on sale Friday, December 6 at 10AM at VanAndelArena.com.
Frank is also a finalist for three 2024 Billboard Music Awards (BBMAs) including Top Christian Artist, Top Christian Album (“CHILD OF GOD”) and Top Christian Song (“GOOD DAY”). The 2024 BBMAs presented by Marriott Bonvoy air on Thursday, December 12 at 8:00pm ET on FOX and Fire TV Channels, and streaming after on Paramount+.
2024 has been a non-stop year for FRANK, who after being named Billboard’s Top New Christian Artist of 2023, released his genre-debut GOD IS GOOD EP, which reached Top 5 on the Top Christian Albums chart. In July, he offered his first full-length project, CHILD OF GOD which held the No.1 spot on the Billboard Christian Albums Chart for 14 weeks making it the biggest Christian album debut of the year.
CHILD OF GOD went on to give Frank his first GRAMMY-Award nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album, following inaugural GMA Dove Award wins for New Artist of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year with album track "GOOD DAY."
His latest radio single off the album, “NEVER GET USED TO THIS" featuring JVKE has grown quickly at Christian radio. The song has a bullet at No. 18 on Billboard Christian Airplay, No. 20 Billboard Christian Monitored AC charts, and jumped to No. 21 and No. 22 respectively on the Mediabase Christian Audience and Christian AC chart, with over 2M in weekly audience and 40+ stations on including KLOVE network. In addition to "Never Get Used To This," Frank has an additional song climbing the Mediabase Christian Audience chart with "Lift My Hands" at No. 29.
On November 1st, FRANK released the CHILD OF GOD (DELUXE) album featuring seven new tracks, including "YOUR WAY'S BETTER" and "HEAVEN ON THIS EARTH" with Torey D’Shaun, and then last week FRANK kept things moving along with a new holiday original, "THE PRESENT," which received a slew of adds from stations before Thanksgiving.
In addition to awards, album sales and radio hits, the momentum Frank has generated with his music is explained in the massive and continued growth on his socials, with a base that has boomed to nearly 5 million fans on Instagram, YouTube, X and TikTok alone, and nearly 6 million Spotify monthly listeners.
About Forrest Frank:
Forrest Frank acknowledges the weight of his words, deeds, and actions within his artistry. The award-nominated Texas-based singer, songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist approaches life and music with gratitude and intent. This mindset underscores his music, and it’s why his GRAMMY-nominated CHILD OF GOD has quietly taken flight as the best-selling Christian album of 2024.
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, and in 2021, a revelation inspired him to change course. Forrest opted to take a year off from touring, relocated to Waco, TX, and became a father.
Working completely independently, his self-described “simple worship song”—the powerful “NO LONGER BOUND” [feat. Hulvey]— opened up the floodgates, surging across social media, tallying north of 60.9 million Spotify streams and counting. He parlayed this momentum into CHILD OF GOD. Beyond performing on all 20 tracks, Forrest helmed the production, crafting an immersive soundscape anchored by elements of bright R&B, upbeat pop, and uplifting gospel. Thematically, he clung to a core message. “My whole brand was built around God, and I’m not going to change that—ever,” he affirms.
CHILD OF GOD soared to stratospheric heights upon arrival, gathering over 60,000 pre-saves in advance, capturing his first GRAMMY nomination, a #1 on the iTunes Overall Top Albums Chart, and within a few months’ time, has tallied over 1 billion global streams. Given the runaway success, Billboard named him the #1 Top New Christian Artist of 2023, and concurrently, the signature “GOOD DAY” has become a Christian radio hit and won a DOVE Award for Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year, with Frank winning for “New Artist of the Year.” This fall he hit the road, seeing sold out shows coast-to-coast on his fall CHILD OF GOD headline tour.
