To date, GENTRI has released four EPs and three full-length albums, the most recent being Season of Light, a Christmas album. GENTRI’s third Christmas album. Almost all of GENTRI’s albums have reached No. 1 on various Billboard charts. The Gents are also known for their award-winning music videos, which have been featured on news outlets around the world, including ABC World News, NBC Nightly News, and Inside Edition. Their music videos have amassed over 200 million views on YouTube and Facebook.
GENTRI has performed all over the United States and across the globe. They have shared the stage with world-renowned talent, including Tony Award-winning powerhouse Kristin Chenoweth, international tenor sensation Alfie Boe, Tony Award-winning vocalist Idina Menzel, and legendary rock bands Journey, Blondie, and OneRepublic.
About Emma Nissen
Emma is a rising singer and recording artist. Within 24 hours of releasing her first album, Love Like You, it reached No. 1 on the iTunes Christian music chart and was among the top 10 albums worldwide across all genres. The Love Like You CD sold out on Amazon the following week.
Emma Nissen is a jazz-pop phenom who became known for her style after a reel of her scatting on her Christian song "Breathe" went viral in late 2023. This surge in attention led to Emma being recognized by artists such as Lauren Daigle, SZA, Meghan Trainor, and Queen Latifah.
