About this project
Based in suburban Atlanta, Greg Wells is a worship leader with a refreshing sound and a stellar voice.
Over the last few months, the 22-year-old musician has hit the ground running, teaming up with several standout songwriters, including FFH’s Jeromy Deibler, to create a collection of heartfelt, original worship songs.
“These songs are all connected to a dream I had where I heard God’s voice,” said Greg. “The upcoming EP is called ‘ALL OF YOU,’ which reflects my desire for more of God and to experience every aspect of him. A lot of work and prayer has been put into every note in every single song. It is my hope that these songs will not only become congregational, but also allow others to re-light that fire for God and want all of Him too!”
It’s time to share these songs with you--the rest of the body of Christ, and to do that, Greg needs your help!
Christmas is just around the corner, and with your support, Greg can receive the only thing on his list this year.

About Greg
Greg Wells, 22, is a worship leader originally from Tallahassee, Florida. As early as 8th grade, Greg picked up his first electric guitar and taught himself how to play. After getting involved with his youth group praise band, Greg led worship for the first time at age 16.
“It sounded awful, but I knew from then on that it was what I wanted to do for the rest of my life,” Greg said.
Greg wrote his first song at the age of 17.
“It was a simple progression and had simple lyrics, but with it came a great sense of accomplishment because I was able to express myself through my own chords and lyrics rather than someone else’s,” said Greg.
Since then, Greg attended Atlanta Christian College and received a bachelor’s degree in music. Over the years, he has honed his songwriting skills and begun pursuing his dream of leading others to Christ through music.
Greg lives in Buford, Georgia with his wife, Ashley, and dog, Bobbi. He currently travels around the southeast leading worship for churches and retreats across the region.
FAQ
-
Kickstarter is a website that allows up-and-coming artists, inventors and any other person starting a new project to raise the funds needed to make it happen. The catch is that the person launching the project only receives the funds if the goal is met. So, as a backer, you are pledging to donate that amount of money, should the goal be met. The person launching the project also provides rewards to the backers as a “thank you,” with the rewards getting bigger and better for each increment donated.
-
All donations, once the project is funded and the campaign ends, will be processed through Amazon.com’s payment system. As Amazon is currently one of the top online retailers in the world, you can rest assured your donation will be handled carefully and efficiently.
-
For Greg’s project, your donation will help pay for the time spent in the recording studio, as well as the physical copies of the album. It will also help pay the musicians, audio engineers and producer who work on the album.
-
No. You may select any reward of equal or lesser value of the amount you gave. For example, if you gave $50, you could choose the $25 "Loaded Package" (or any other reward under $50) if you would rather not receive the "Musician's Package" but would still like to give $50.
-
The producer is responsible for coordinating the musicians, scheduling studio time and engineers and creating and executing the budget for the album. A primary role is also to oversee the creative direction of the album, which can include guiding musicians in the studio to achieve the desired style or creative idea and creating accompanying tracks. For Greg’s project, the producer is Craig McClellan.
-
Yes! You can donate until the campaign ends on January 4 at 8:00 p.m. Any funds you donate will still be used for the project and will help Greg make an even better album!

Ever since Greg started to play and sing music when he was 14, he knew that music would play a huge role in his life. God has given him an amazing passion for music and he intends to use that passion for good. Greg started leading worship music when he was in high school and had felt a call to spread the Word of God, through music, to the world.
