My name is Caleb Brown and I am from Prince Rupert, B.C (born in Alaska). I graduated from Briercrest a few years ago and I am currently living in Calgary working for a non-profit organization called The Mustard Seed. I love pasta, people, and coffee...I also really love Jesus and His church.

SCRIBE is a Jamaican-born, Canadian Recording Artist and speaker currently hailing from the Greater Vancouver Area of BC. Known for his story-telling, Scribe seeks to share a breakthrough narrative one song at a time.

Troy Lydiate  is a father of two, a husband to his wife of 7 years and an adoptee from Kingston, Jamaica.

An eclectic upbringing has lead to a diverse sound and a movement that Scribe likes to call UNEKLIU.  Whether in the church or in the marketplace, Scribe aims to use his gifts to be a bridge that leads others into the knowledge that they have been set apart with a Kingdom purpose. I learned from Tetris that when you try to fit in, you disappear.

Andrew Russell is a Christian Hip Hop artist from Caronport, Saskatchewan, Canada.

Russell’s accomplishments as an artist showcase his work ethic and blessing that God has placed in his life. Andrew is a status member of the Wood Mountain Lakota people in Saskatchewan. He was born to an Indigenous mother and adopted into a non Indigenous Chrsotian home when he was 4 months old. Over the past decade, he has been on a
learning and growing journey about his identity as an Indigenous man. He now serves as the Indigenous Coordinator for Briercrest, working with our Indigenous students as a connection point and a support person as they navigate Briercrest life.

His hope is to continue to raise awareness around issues of walking in right relationships as Indigenous and Non Indigenous people. He is currently the project manager for an EFC (Evangelical Fellowship of Canada) initiative called Reconciliation through Relationships.
