Go Fish started as an acapella group in Minnesota with the mission of using music to follow Christ's call to be "fishers of men."  For the first 5 or 6 years, their story wasn't too out of the ordinary.  They were an indie band that sold a lot of records, got noticed by a record label in Nashville, signed a record deal, and went on to tour the country and garner several successful Christian radio singles.  Then, something they never would've predicted happened. They made a children's record, which was successful beyond anything they had ever experienced!

Lead singer and group founder, Jamison Statema, reflects on the transformative journey, "Almost overnight, we were performing at national conferences and events organized by MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers), CPC (Children's Pastors Conference), Focus on the Family, and the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.  Our music resonated with parents and children alike, spreading like wildfire.  We were humbled to discover the immense need for high-quality, gospel-centered music created specifically for families."

Since then, Go Fish has not only performed all over the country, but they've also released a line of children's ministry resources including VBS curriculum, Christmas curriculum, and worship videos.  The Dove Award-winning group also hosts The Go Fish Podcast For Kids.

In 2024, Go Fish released two new "word-for-word" Scripture songs, a series of educational "Songs for Teachers," and a brand new single penned by Statema titled "A Broken Crayon."

"One of the first times we performed A Broken Crayon was at a preschool teachers conference.  We were only on the second line when I saw several people wiping away tears.  That's when I knew the message of this song was hitting home in a big way!  As a songwriter, I can't begin to tell you how powerful that is."

A children's book based on "A Broken Crayon" is slated for release this Fall.

The current Go Fish lineup includes Statema, singer Chad Graham, and DJ Chase Akers, all from Nashville, TN, where the band is based.  You can learn more about Go Fish by visiting www.GoFishKidsMusic.com.
