Biography

Keith and Kristyn Getty have been called the “preeminent” hymn writers of this generation,” who have “changed the way evangelicals worship” by Christianity Today. The duo’s hymn “In Christ Alone,” co-written with Stuart Townend, is estimated to be sung by over 100 million people each year, making it one of the most popular hymns in the world. The Gettys’ recent album, Confessio - Irish American Roots, is nominated for a GRAMMY® Award as Best Roots Gospel Album. Recorded on the North Coast of Ireland during the pandemic, the album traces the Gettys’ journey back to their native homeland to explore the connection between Ireland’s enduring faith music heritage and its legacy in America. As ambassadors of hymn writing, the Gettys have performed for presidents and prime ministers, and their annual national hymn tour and Christmas tour regularly sell out venues such as The Kennedy Center and Carnegie Hall. In 2017, Keith was honored as an Officer of the Order of the British Empire by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, marking the first time the award has been given to an individual in the world of contemporary church music. Since its founding, Getty Music, has expanded to include a publishing company of modern hymn writers, a record label, touring company, online learning company, charitable foundation and an annual “Sing” Conference & Festival which welcomes over 15,000 people to Nashville. Keith & Kristyn live between Nashville and Northern Ireland with their four daughters.
