Биография

After spending a dozen years of his early music career touring the U.S. as front man for two St. Louis-based bands (LP Outsiders and Fundamental Elements), Russ Mohr is back on the scene as a solo artist, writer, arranger, and producer. He released his first full-length studio album in June 2019, a soulful gospel concept record entitled, “The Kingdom Sessions.” The music delivers a message that is both timely and timeless. While unapologetically rooted in a faith-based worldview, the message is widely accessible to all listeners, regardless of their religious convictions. Mohr’s aspiration, after all, is to bring people together. The album—which addresses themes of faith, community, social justice, love, forgiveness, and reconciliation—aims to celebrate that which is good and beautiful in humanity, confront and lament that which is broken, and look with hope to a preferred future. "The Kingdom Sessions" addresses a broad scope of complex issues and themes, but does so with conversational ease, taking the listener along an eclectic landscape of styles and sounds that are as fresh and modern as they are familiar. A beautiful portrait of collaboration, unity, and diversity, the project boasts contributions from 12 writers and 70+ musicians spanning 10 U.S. cities. It is co-produced by Grammy, Dove, and Stellar Award-winning producer JR (Lecrae, Andy Mineo, Kenny Latimore) and features appearances from Sho Baraka, Liz Vice, Latifah Alattas, Courtney Orlando, and Odd Thomas.
