At Air1, our mission is to inspire people to move closer to Jesus. That’s what we celebrate all day, every day — and we’re so excited to shine the spotlight on the singers and songwriters carrying that mantle forward. Whether you enjoy soft, reflective pop or prefer power ballads and praise songs, this lineup of breakout artists features a sonic landscape that will equip and inspire you. Now (drumroll, please), let’s welcome the class of 2026!
David Funk
Hailing from North Georgia, David Funk grew up surrounded by music and remembers seeing family members serve in music ministry. As he grew, Funk learned to play music himself, eventually leading worship in high school. His journey then took him to Bethel Church, where he released his first single, "Touch Of Heaven / Alabaster Heart (Live)." Funk’s later release, “The Blood,” penned by Jenn Johnson, Dante Bowe and Mitch Wong, encouraged listeners to rejoice in the redemptive gift of Jesus’ blood.
Noah Paul Harrison
Inspired by his father’s Saturday morning worship sessions, Noah Paul Harrison soon learned a few guitar chords and began leading worship in his parents’ home church at the age of 12. As Harrison grew up, the passion for Spirit-led worship never left him. He attended ministry school as a young adult and then moved to New York City to lead church worship in 2023. His breakout single, “Elohim,” celebrated the character of God by declaring His holy virtues.
Abbie Gamboa
Abbie Gamboa is a singer/songwriter and visual artist known for her personal lyrics and unrestrained vocal style. She rose to prominence as a member of UPPERROOM, a worship movement in Dallas, Texas, where she released her first single, “Give Me Jesus (Featuring Abbie Gamboa).” Her full-length record, “Pure,” debuted in 2023. In 2025, she released “Throwing Paint” in collaboration with fellow Air1 artist Aodhán King.
Aodhán King
Originally from Australia, Aodhán King emerged as a rising talent when he joined Young & Free, a worship team based out of Sydney. He moved to the United States in later years, where he began to release his own music, initially intending to pursue a secular solo pop album. But God intervened, and after some consideration and prayer, King says he became more deeply inspired to record worship music. His song, “Time,” written and performed with Lauren Daigle, explores the mystery of waiting on God’s will for your life.
Zahriya Zachary
Shining bright as one of Air1’s 8 Women Changing Modern Worship in 2025, Zahriya Zachary is quickly becoming a sought-after artist in the worship music space. Originally from Spring, Texas, she appeared on many of Bethel’s recent tracks, including “Back To Life,” “Surrounded By Holy” and “If The Lord.” In 2025, Zachary released her first solo record, “Rediscovery,” a reflective, written-from-the-heart examination of faith and surrender to God’s love.
Seph Schlueter
Winner of the Breakout Single of the Year at 2024’s K-LOVE Fan Awards for “Counting My Blessings,” Seph Schlueter is no stranger to the mission of Air1! Schlueter’s music often portrays gratitude, and he aims to inspire listeners to continue praising through life's challenges. His anthemic single “Turn It Into Praise” recalls God’s faithfulness to Daniel in the lion’s den, while “Words We’ll Sing Forever” describes the Lord’s timeless glory.
Steven Theriot
Serving as the worship pastor in Destin, Florida, Steven Theriot writes and produces music with Destiny Worship Music. With his team, Theriot prioritizes soulful lyrics and a melodic sound that draws listeners closer to Christ. Theriot’s single, “My Heart And My Hallelujah,” performed with heavy guitars and drums, pledges devotion to God in return for His unfailing love. In 2025’s “My Confidence,” the singer/songwriter asserts the voice of God is the voice of truth.
