About the Artist
Seph Schlueter
It is Seph Schlueter’s (pronounced “shleeter”) deep passion to awaken people’s hearts, help lead others into an encounter with Jesus, and give language to a relationship with God through his music. Follow his socials and you’ll quickly see his heart for the Lord along with his endearing personality.
Before joining the Provident Entertainment family in 2023, he released his music independently, opened for artists such as Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham, and began the group Damascus Worship when he saw the need for worship and revival in the Catholic Church. In 2024, Seph released his debut major label EP, Counting My Blessings, which offers organic pop sensibilities and relatable lyrics that speak to his all-consuming love for Jesus. The title track “Counting My Blessings” has gone on to become a global sensation and has amassed more than 12B short form video views, 112M global streams, over 5M TikTok creations, and over 26.5M views on Youtube. The song has also peaked at #1 on all four Christian radio charts.
Seph was recognized as Christian Music Broadcaster’s Breakout Artist of 2024 and won the KLOVE Fan Award for Breakout Single of the Year. He is nominated at the Doves for the first time in the New Artist of the Year category as well as Pop/Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year (“Counting My Blessings”). Recently, he was recognized as a finalist for the 2024 Billboard Award Top Christian Song (“Counting My Blessings”) and named Billboard’s #2 New Christian Artist.
