A few helpful answers
Yes. CJM is an independent Christian music label and creative production home. It is home to Gathered Praise Worship and Lamp & Song, two distinct Christian artist projects served with the same care, clarity and purpose.
Gathered Praise Worship creates themed worship EPs for churches and listeners. Lamp & Song creates devotional companion songs for a three-year journey through daily Bible readings. Both are in-house artist projects led by Chrystopher James.
CJM uses AI-assisted tools as part of the creative workflow, especially for demo exploration and early song development. These tools are assistants, not replacements for human authorship, judgement or theological care.
No legal, publishing or royalty advice is offered through this page. CJM focuses on creative and practical release preparation unless a specific service is agreed separately.
