Jesus Culture artist and worship leader Derek Johnson released his album
Real Love this week, which has already hit No. 1 on iTunes' Christian Album chart.
Real Love is Johnson's first solo project with Jesus Culture Music and Capitol Christian Music Group.
Derek Johnson's debut reveals his passion for message-driven songwriting to share his hope in the God of real and authentic love. "My heart is to write songs that lead people to Jesus," he shares. "Whether they have a relationship with Him and know His love or they are still searching for truth, my desire is that anyone who hears these songs will be brought into a deeper understanding of worship and the God of real love."
As a member of the Sacramento-based Jesus Culture team since 2009, Johnson has lead worship at every Jesus Culture conference since 2011. He has also opened for Kim Walker-Smith and Jesus Culture Band at sold-out venues across the country.
With his "
The One We Love" music video being featured on the homepage of RelevantTV, Johnson also has upcoming coverage in CCM Magazine, Worship Leader,
