Influenced by Jars of Clay, David Crowder and Lifehouse, Chris and Conrad also pull from the ranks of yesterday’s mainstream hit makers such as Chicago, The Police and U2. Not to limit their music to these influences, Chris and Conrad encourage and insist on working with a multitude of other writers in generating new ideas. The debut benefits from co-writes by some of the industry’s most successful talents: Sam Mizell (who co-wrote 2008’s most played song “You Are Everything”), Ian Eskelin (Francesca Battistelli), Andrew Osenga (Chris Tomlin), Doug McKelvey (Switchfoot), and Clint Lagerberg (Point of Grace).

One other important co-writer on their debut is Big Daddy Weave front-man Mike Weaver who brought his insight to the song “Who I Really Am” and had this to say about the ministry of Chris and Conrad; “Over the past couple of years I've become a huge fan of these guys... I've considered it a privilege getting to know them. They are such strong song writers and worship leaders to be so young!”

“Writing for us consists of a multitude of, what we like to term, hook ideas, which come to our minds as we’re driving around town”, says Kuti. “We typically have to record them onto our iPhones before we forget them. These ideas might not even have a subject topic, but they give us something to bring into a writing session, a conversation starter so to speak. Often times these collections of hooks and ideas turn into a single song, which is never a bad thing in our opinion.”

And their new project is not the only beneficiary of these ideas hastily saved for another day, Chris wrote “We Want The World To Hear” on the current Big Daddy Weave album “What Life Would Be Like.”

Their heart for artistry doesn’t stop with the songs they craft but also the soundscape they create. “Production is a big thing for us”, says Johnson. “In a market that is so saturated with great sounding bands both from a production and live perspective, it’s up to us and the producers that we worked with on this project (David Garcia, Greg Hill, Roy Mitchell-Cardenas) to bring a fresh sound to every song. This often means pushing the envelope with tones and textures that resonate with the current culture.”

In addition to their own music, Chris and Conrad stay busy recording and producing other artists in their Lakeland, Florida compound - Inertia Sound Studios. They currently serve as worship leaders in their respective churches. Chris also founded and leads the heavily attended Late Night outreach to Florida Southern University.

The 2009 Chris and Conrad tour with worship leader Ricardo Sanchez is sponsored by Teen Challenge.

The Chris and Conrad debut album will be released to retail on May 5th, 2009 by VSR Music Group and will be distributed by EMI CMG.

Breathe Your Life
Chris And Conrad Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lost in an ocean, it seems my time has come
I'm hardly breathing as fear fills my lungs
The life is fading fast
I don't know how much longer I have

Breathe the life in me
I'm drowning in this tragedy
Of living for myself and what I think I need

You're the only one that can bring me back to life
Just breathe
Breathe the life in me

Sinking and hopeless to the depths of my own soul
Wondering what happened, did I ever have control?
My life is fading fast
I don't know how much longer I have

Breathe the life in me
I'm drowning in this tragedy
Of living for myself and what I think I need
You're the only one that can bring me back to life
Just breathe

Breathe your life in me

And I feel you inside of my veins
And all so true
The beating of my heart
When you, when you

Breathe your life in me
I was drowning in the tragedy
Of living for myself and what I thought I needed
You're the only one that can bring me back to life
Breathe your life in me
I was drowning in the tragedy
Of living for myself and what I thought I needed
You're the only one that can bring me back to life
Just breathe
Just breathe, oh

You're the only one that can bring me back to life
Just breathe

Feeling overwhelmed and hopeless, I believe my time is up

I'm hardly breathing as fear fills my lungs
Fear is suffocating me and making it difficult to breathe

The life is fading fast
My life force is quickly diminishing

I don't know how much longer I have
I am not sure how much longer I can hold on

Breathe the life in me
Revive me with your life force

I'm drowning in this tragedy
I am overwhelmed by this disastrous situation

Of living for myself and what I think I need
I have been selfish and only focused on my own wants and desires

You're the only one that can bring me back to life
Only you have the power to revive me

Just breathe
All I need you to do is help me breathe

Sinking and hopeless to the depths of my own soul
I feel like I am sinking into despair, lost in the depths of my own being

Wondering what happened, did I ever have control?
I am questioning what went wrong and whether or not I ever had control over my life
