Manitoba native, 2023 Juno Award recipient in an Album of the Year category, and 16-time GMA Covenant Award winner Jordan St. Cyr launches his sophomore album My Foundation on June 14, Father’s Day weekend.
My Foundation isn’t just the title of an album or a song though, it’s a revelation of St. Cyr’s way of life. “This album comes on the heels of a challenging season centered around my daughter Emery’s health,” says the 41-year-old husband to Heather and father of four: Aidan (13), Liam (11), Willa (9) and Emery (5).
“As a family we had to root down and lean into faith – our foundation,” he continues. “Emery was diagnosed with Sturge-Weber Syndrome at birth (Nov. 2018) which developed into regular seizures as she continued to grow. When she was 4 years old, we moved to Nashville and connected with excellent doctors at Vanderbilt Children’s Hospital, and our now-5-year-old baby girl has been seizure-free for over a year.”

A construction worker by trade, St. Cyr expressed his family’s journey of gratitude and faith through song, with the Biblical parable of the wise and foolish builders (found in Matthew) at the core of the album. “The fact my faith parallels my also being a builder; the song and album title were obvious choices.
Thinking back now, I recall my wife and I staying up night after night for weeks praying for Emery; I now rejoice for all the gifts He gave us through the process. This record is quite literally a statement of faith declaring not ‘what,’ but ‘Who’ my and my family’s lives are built upon.”
My Foundation follows St. Cyr’s 2022 self-titled debut LP, which earned a Juno Award as Contemporary Christian/Gospel Album of the Year (2023), and includes acclaimed radio singles, “Fires” (his debut U.S. single and Top 5 after 45 weeks on radio charts), and his first U.S. #1, “Weary Traveler.”
St. Cyr also earned two GMA Dove Award nominations (Best New Artist and for Short-Form Video Of The Year for “Weary Traveler”), and swept the 2022 GMA Canada Covenant Awards with six wins — the most out of all other nominees — including Artist of the Year, Album and Male Vocalist of the Year along with Best Pop Song, Live Music Artist, and AC Artist of the Year.
St. Cyr was recognized with additional five honors during 2023’s GMA Canada Covenant Awards, including Artist of the Year, making him the most-awarded artist for a second consecutive year.
With this momentum, St. Cyr is sought-after on the road in the U.S. and Canada. Having toured with artists including Mac Powell, Jeremy Camp, Anne Wilson, Colton Dixon, Crowder, Matt Maher and the K-LOVE Christmas Tour, St. Cyr will be embarking on Summer tour dates in June.
Inviting believers from all backgrounds and cultures to find common ground in the “House of God,” WieRok Entertainment recording artist Sean Rodriguez bows one of his most personal singles to date. Drawing inspiration from the ministry of his grandfather, Pastor William A. Rodriguez, who has shepherded a diverse congregation in Denver’s inner-city for more than 40 years, “House of God” is now available.
A testament to the power of worship as a catalyst for unity, the potent pop track was produced by Nick Schwarz and co-penned by Rodriguez, Schwarz and Tony Wood.
“This song celebrates my experience being raised in my grandpa’s church,” Rodriguez shares. “I saw former gang members, drug dealers, cons and the like, all worshiping alongside families and young adults from all walks of life—all praising God together. Growing up, this was church, and it helped shape who I am today.”
Accompanying the release of “House of God” is a moving music video. Directed by Joe Cedillo, the clip spotlights Pastor Rodriguez and members of his Denver church. “The ‘glory, glory hallelujah’ intro at the very beginning of the video is my grandfather singing,” Sean Rodriguez explains. “It’s so fitting to start the clip with his voice because it signifies how he led the way for me in ministry.
In the second verse, Pastor Grandpa invites me up to lead worship after he preaches, and I think that’s an awesome depiction of the ministries God has called each of us into.”

“‘House of God’ ultimately reminds me of the important role church plays in my life, and I hope it can be used to encourage people to get back into a good church and find that joyful experience again,” Rodriguez adds.
The song will be among six tracks comprising Rodriguez’s debut EP, Jesus Will, which is slated for release this fall. In addition, he is currently performing “House of God” to audiences across the country as part of his “Jesus Will Summer Tour.” The multi-city outing, which features Rodriguez backed by a full band for the first time, will include stops at such leading festivals as Kingdom Bound, Agape Fest, Elevation Fest and Unity Fest, among others.

As far as the song, it is what the title says it is, it is a ‘first draft’ so it’s not necessarily perfected, but it is a preview of the fact that I am tightening up my pen and figuring out what it means to rap, how I rap and the way I rap. It’s a first draft. “
