About Hulvey:
Hulvey’s music has quickly developed into his sonic calling-card. But to fully appreciate the music is to know the artist. His child-like wonder and reverence for his maker motivates his desire to reflect the beauty of Christ through tastefully refined music.

Hulvey was signed to Reach Records in 2019 after the success of his breakout single “Motions” released on Reach’s Summer ‘19 playlist as one of the top streamed singles on the project. In 2020, he was named Pandora’s Christian Artist to watch. In 2021 his debut album, Christopher, achieved the No. #8 spot on the Billboard Top Christian/Gospel Albums chart and also debuted at #19 on the Rap albums chart. Reflecting on the quickly growing success of his career as a Christian artist, Hulvey says, “my salvation comes from my personal relationship with God. I want to glorify God with my music, and to be honest and straightforward about how it is benefitting me personally.”

After a slew of compelling singles, five EP’s and one album in the span of four years, It’s no doubt that in 2023, Hulvey is already having an artist-defining, breakthrough year. Only three singles into the year, and Hulvey currently holds two spots on Billboards’ Hot Christian Songs, with No Longer Bound peaking at #19, with 16 total weeks on the chart, and Altar peaking at #25, with 7 total weeks on the chart. His other 2023 single release, WALK featuring GRAMMY Award winning artist Lecrae also spent five weeks on the Hot Christian Songs chart peaking at #5.
