Christian Music - Candi Pearson - He Leadeth Me

Candi Pearson-Shelton wishes to remain anonymous. The problem is, her name is likely recognized by tens of thousands of people.

Lead worshipper, songwriter and indie artist Pearson-Shelton first appeared before crowds in the early days of the Passion college movement. She and fellow worship leader Steve Fee fronted a Passion campus tour in 1999-2000, reaching 126 college campuses. Pearson-Shelton then appeared on Passion: Sacred Revolution–Songs from OneDay03, leading “Sing to the King,” and she and her husband Jonathan served as community group leaders and performed Late Night concerts for Passion ’05, ’06 and ’07.

Some name recognition, yes, but her involvement with Passion was more than a career move. “My perspective shifted to the spread of the fame of Christ, period. That has been the driving force behind my music, the way I lead worship, the way I connect with people—the fact that God is really big; and I want people to see Him that way,” she says.
