CCM artist and worship leader Jordan St.Cyr has been charting hits on JOY Radio over the last year, like "My Victory", "I Look To Jesus" and his #1 'Joy Top 20' song "In My Lifetime" (March 31 & April 7, 2018). The 2017 Nashville Rising Star winner was born and raised on the Canadian prairies and is well versed in the ethic of hard work and the honest, down-to-earth values so often associated with life in Manitoba. Faith, family and relationships are common threads throughout Jordan’s music as he continues to reach and inspire the next generation of believers. On August 4th, Jordan St.Cyr joined 'Joy Top 20' host Matt Caine to debut his brand new single "Lay It Down", and share how it was written and produced with help from Covenant Award winner & Juno Award nominee, Jaylene Johnson.

Lauren Budnick and Brooke Deleary are the duo known as LoveCollide, a band they started together when they were just "tweens". Together, the sisters have watched God take something that began as a sibling side project and turned it into a poignant ministry. They’ve released several independent recordings together, toured across the U.S., done modelling and film gigs, and have shared the stage with some of Christian music’s biggest names. They’ve also been able to minister in Canada, something that’s particularly meaningful as tribal members of the Chippewas of the Thames First Nation in Muncey, Ontario. Recently LoveCollide joined 'Joy Top 20' host Matt Caine in studio to talk about their charting single "I Don't Want It", how they created their band name, summers in Ontario, and of course Brooke and Lauren became the latest challengers of our 'This Or That' game!
