Kingdom Impact Group Welcomes Bradden Ford as Strategic Contributor
Industry tastemaker brings playlisting power, media insight and heart for emerging artists to growing faith-based creative collective
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kingdom Impact Group (KIG), a purpose-driven media company offering PR, artist services, and strategic branding for faith-based creatives, is thrilled to announce the addition of Bradden Ford to its growing team. Based just outside of Nashville, Tennessee, Ford joins KIG as a strategic contributor with a focus on artist management, social media development, and public relations initiatives.
A respected voice in the Christian music scene, Bradden is known for his work with NewReleaseToday (NRT)—one of the industry’s largest and most influential Christian music platforms. Ford wears several hats at NRT as part of their editorial and content team, where he serves as a writer, interviewer, and database manager. Outside of NRT, Bradden also runs LightFire Playlists—his own rapidly growing brand dedicated to spotlighting new and impactful Christian music across platforms like TikTok and Instagram. Through LightFire, Ford champions emerging voices and curates a fresh stream of music that speaks to faith, healing, and hope.
In his new role with Kingdom Impact Group, Bradden will help lead efforts in building digital engagement, mentoring artists, and crafting compelling narratives across platforms. His deep passion for Christian music and his gift for connecting with artists and audiences alike make him a strong addition to the Kingdom-building mission of KIG.
“Bradden isn’t just a music journalist—he’s a bridge builder, a champion of new voices, and a believer in the power of honest storytelling,” said Mike Laxton, Founder of Kingdom Impact Group. “He brings a deep understanding of the Christian music landscape and a genuine heart for artists and fans alike. We’re excited to have him on the team.”
Bradden shared his enthusiasm for the partnership, saying:
“I love getting the chance to work with like-minded people that truly love Christian music and have a heart to serve the community in a godly and honoring way. Mike Laxton and the team with Kingdom Impact Group are some of those people that I have seen champion that mindset, which fills me with excitement to join with the team officially and work with them forward.”
Bradden will continue his work with NRT while contributing to KIG’s artist-facing initiatives. His passion for music and storytelling remains evident in everything he creates—whether through playlist curation, interviews, or artist development.
