Bio
- Fred HammondFeatured Song 'Lord Your Grace'
For more than 23 years, gospel listeners around the world have known Fred Hammond as a talented songwriter, bassist and vocalist. Throughout that time, he has been known within the music industry as a gifted musical arranger and producer.
Few gospel artists can boast of the consistency of sales, radio airplay and concert appearances which Hammond has achieved over the course of his career. As a solo artist and member of the pioneering urban group, Commissioned, he has sold nearly 2 million albums. Since retiring from that group in 1995, his work with Radical for Christ has made him a mainstay on Billboard's Gospel Chart top 10, along with frequent appearances on the magazine's Heatseekers and Music Video Sales charts. In addition, as if that were not enough, Hammond's work as a producer has landed him in the #1 spot among gospel producers according to the Gospel Music Round-up.
Throughout his professional life, Hammond has maintained a reputation for excellence, racking up numerous awards and nominations, as the leader of the two chart-busting musical acts, Commissioned and more recently, Fred Hammond & Radical for Christ. His projects have received and been nominated for every major award including the Grammy, and the N.A.A.C.P. Image, Stellar, Dove, and GMWA Excellence Awards.
Beyond Hammond's individual success, his achievements as CEO of Face to Face Productions have placed him in a class by himself. Since the company's founding in 1992, Hammond has served as producer on more than 80 album projects. With that level of productivity, it is not surprising that the Face to Face sound has dominated the gospel marketplace. Their recent success in bringing the praise and worship format to the African-American church has resulted in the development of a new genre of gospel music, Urban Praise & Worship.
His previous release {Pages of Life} Chapters I & II has reached Platinum status and held the #1 position on the Billboard Gospel Charts for over 15 weeks and remains on Billboard's Gospel Charts. His latest release Somethin' Bout Love (June 04) bombarded Billboard's #1 position on the Billboard Gospel Charts for over 12 weeks and is being hailed as one of the year's best-selling gospel albums as it vastly approaches gold status!
