What is Christian Electronic Music?

Christian Electronic Music, also known as CEDM, is a broad term used to describe faith-based electronic music of any sub-genre. The style began in the early 1990s with early pioneers like Dale Allison and Robatics and has since grown to include artists like John Borelli, Josh Peavy, and JES.

CEDM often has positive, life-affirming messages and can be heard in a variety of settings including nightclubs, festivals, and online radio stations. The sound is generally uplifting and designed to make the listener feel good.

While the style originated in the United States, it has since spread to other countries like Canada, Brazil, Sweden, and the United Kingdom. In recent years, there has been a growing trend of Christian Electronic Music artists working with secular artists to create “crossover” hits that are played on mainstream radio stations.
