About Keith and Kristyn Getty

KEITH AND KRISTYN GETTY occupy a unique space in the world of music as leading modern hymn writers. In re-inventing and popularizing the traditional hymn form, the Gettys are championing a catalogue of songs that teach Christian doctrine and cross musical genres. Their hymns are sung throughout the world, with “In Christ Alone” (penned by Keith and Stuart Townend) anchoring their canon of globally-sung songs that includes eighty titles listed by CCLI in its US and UK top 2000 lists. Their original publishers, Integrity Music, have estimated that more than 100 million people around the world sing their hymns every year. The couple also tour internationally—their Christmas show plays annually at Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center and is the feature of PBS & BBC television broadcasts. Their hymn tours have played in churches and theatres internationally. They are regular guests at venues from the Grand Ole Opry House to the Royal Albert Hall, and have sung for presidents, prime ministers, and the UK National Prayer Breakfast at Houses of Parliament. They look forward to resuming a season of SING! arena events across the world which began in their hometowns of Belfast and Nashville. Keith and Kristyn continue to oversee the Getty Music organization with the SING! movement central to their future vision. Recent years have seen the launch of the Sing! book and the annual SING! conference in Nashville, along with a global online learning program and foundation with the resources to help individuals, families, and churches sing. This year, they have seen to the launch of Sing! Global, an immersive, worldwide online conference, and they will imminently release their latest album, Evensong—Hymns and Lullabies for the Close of Day. Keith was recently awarded Officer of the Order of the British Empire personally by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth I—the first contemporary Christian musician ever to receive this honor. Together with their four daughters, Keith and Kristyn live between Northern Ireland and Nashville.
