Faith in Music Foundation Grant Helps Independent Artist Counter Culture of Nihilism Through Electronic Dance Music
Introduction to Kaya Jones and Her New Album
ORLANDO, Fla., June 4, 2026 — The electronic dance music scene is getting an inspirational lift from Grammy-winning artist Kaya Jones, an icon best known for her role as an original member of the Pussycat Dolls. With her latest release, Choose Life, Jones offers a 13-track journey filled with hope and positivity, produced in collaboration with HouseNatic. Drawing from the energetic rhythms of Afro House, this album goes beyond mere beats; it’s a heartfelt message intended for those grappling with existential issues.
A Message of Hope in Struggling Times
The impetus behind Choose Life stems from a growing concern about nihilism permeating popular culture, especially among younger generations. As many battles with addiction or struggles to find purpose in a digitalized world, the album emerges as a beacon of light. The choice of electronic dance music—a genre that often thrives in nightlife culture—was intentional. According to Jones, their mission is to reach people in spaces where these heavy feelings can sometimes drown out hope.
Jones states, “We’re living in a culture where death is being bought and sold. Choosing life is about choosing God, choosing goodness, choosing your baby, your children, your parents.” Her words resonate, guiding listeners toward a deeper understanding of self-worth and meaning.
Jones’s Advocacy and Personal Mission
Kaya Jones isn’t just an artist; she’s a long-time pro-life advocate and a voice of uncomfortable truths. Much of her career has involved addressing challenges such as spiritual abuse within the church and exploitation in the music industry. While Choose Life reflects her unwavering conviction in difficult subjects, it approaches them with a celebratory undertone. “Dance, celebrate the goodness that’s in this world, look to things that are bigger than yourself,” she encourages, positioning her music as both a form of celebration and a call to action.
Support from the Faith in Music Foundation
The production of Choose Life was significantly boosted by a grant from the Faith in Music Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to alleviating financial barriers for independent artists. Founded by Michael Sweet of the Christian metal band Stryper and his wife, Lisa Champagne-Sweet, this foundation offers invaluable support to creators—both faith-based and secular—whose work is deeply rooted in purpose.
For Jones, this financial backing has been crucial. “I’m so grateful for their contribution in helping me as an independent artist,” she reflects. The funds have been pivotal for recording, studio time, and various other costs that can add up quickly in the industry. The value of this support is evident, as it enables artists like her to focus on their craft without the burden of financial strain.
The Selection Process and Artistic Integrity
Champagne-Sweet, who has firsthand experience navigating the music industry’s financial pressures, noted that Jones’s project stood out during the grant selection process. “Kaya’s project really stood out to us because there was such a genuine heart behind it,” she remarked. It was clear from the start that this project wasn’t merely about releasing songs; it was the embodiment of passion, purpose, and sincerity.
This insight into the artistic integrity that guides Jones offers a glimpse into what the Faith in Music Foundation seeks to support. They look for projects that carry authentic messages and have the potential to resonate meaningfully with audiences.
