The Sound of Canadian CCM

"The Sound of Canadian CCM" is a solid cross-section of faith-driven music with a distinctly Canadian touch. Spanning genres from rock to pop to acoustic worship, this playlist brings together some of the most notable Christian artists from north of the border. There’s a mix of upbeat anthems like Hawk Nelson’s “Sold Out” and Thousand Foot Krutch’s “Courtesy Call,” paired with reflective moments such as Amanda Cook’s “House on a Hill” and Brian Doerksen’s “Refiner's Fire.”

The tracklist blends veterans of the scene—like Steve Bell, Carolyn Arends, and The Kry—with newer names like The Color and Dana Marie. Whether it's the alt-pop polish of RELIENT K’s “Be My Escape” or the thoughtful lyricism in songs like “Learning to Be the Light” by newworldson and “How Many Kings” by Downhere, this playlist covers a broad emotional and musical range within Canadian Contemporary Christian Music. It's a balanced mix of worship, encouragement, and radio-ready hooks, offering something for listeners looking for both message and melody.
