BEC Recordings is thrilled to announce singer, songwriter, worship pastor, and producer Hunter Plake has joined their family of artists. Known for his time on NBC’s “The Voice,” placing an astounding 5th overall during Season 12, Plake is more than ready to share his latest song, “Holy Ghost (Fill This Room),” available now (listen HERE). The song will be featured on his upcoming label debut EP, Thunderbird, releasing May 12.
He co-wrote “Holy Ghost (Fill This Room)” with Jeremy Johnson, Ben Murti, and Micah Felts, and also produced the song. “This song resonated with me so much,” he shares. “It’s a worship song about being at the end of yourself and crying out for more of God. That’s what this song is, it’s a deep cry for an encounter with Jesus.” A video for the song is also out today and can be viewed below.
While preparing for the release of his upcoming project, Hunter Plake has been sharing alternative versions on his TikTok and IG Reels of many of today’s biggest worship songs, such as “Revelation Song,” “Open The Eyes Of My Heart,” and “The Stand,” and many more. Garnering thousands of views, be sure to check them out HERE.
Growing up in a family of musicians and ministers, Plake’s path to signing with BEC Recordings took a few unexpected detours. As a teen, he led worship in his church and received his GED in his junior year of high school to attend ministry school. But it wasn’t until he auditioned for NBC’s The Voice that music became a possible career path, placing fifth in his season and doors were open for him to pursue music full-time.
After a few years in LA recording and producing, his ever-present sense of emptiness grew into a full-on collapse, eventually leading to a breakdown. Plake turned inward, writing songs between himself and God instead of performing for an audience, and those private worship moments eventually became the songs found on Thunderbird, his debut collection of hope-filled pop/rock/worship songs that redefine Plake as an artist.
Holy Ghost (Fill This Room) – Hunter Plake
An amalgamation of the last thirty years of alternative rock, Thunderbird hints at The Killers, Foo Fighters, and Coldplay offset by worship-filled lyrics focused on a love that’s worth the risk. “When you create music, you end up creating from your influences,” Plake says. “This is me genuinely liking alternative music and praying at the same time. These songs are me crying out to the Lord and doing it with something that has a catchy melody and a style of music that resonates with me.”
The project is deeply personal while also universal, and Hunter Plake’s debut is a shining example of a man who’s stepped back from the edge. “At the end of the day, if I have to choose between Jesus or something else, I’ll choose Him every time. That’s what changed for me. That’s what makes me excited. That’s why I want to do music.”

Showcasing the breathtaking vocals and versatility from Raine and Moore, “Paul And Silas (At Midnight)” is a reminder that joy can be found even in the darkest moments of life. The track blends convicting, traditional gospel sounds with contemporary and world music, and it’s an extension of the transcending style the two are known for as part of Maverick City Music.
Kirk Franklin says the vocalists are “the next generation of gospel music,” and it’s easy to see (and hear) they are the face of the next wave of inspiration. Raine and Moore performed at the GRAMMY Awards alongside Quavo as part of the tribute to the late Migos member Takeoff: grammy.com/videos/quavo-migos-takeoff-2023-grammys-without-you-memoriam-performance-live-maverick-city-music

The debut single has its inspiration and bearings from Lamentations 3:24 & Psalm 16:5.
