After his latest album Make Room debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Gospel chart, racked up 1.3 million streams in its first week of release and received a Grammy nod for the Best Gospel Album of 2018, there was only one thing for Jonathan McReynolds to do: take his show on the road. But the Make More Room tour is about more than the powerful, uplifting, R&B-flavored worship music that's earned McReynolds legions of devoted fans and admirers, including luminaries like India.Irie, Nicki Minaj and Justin Bieber. It's a chance for McReynolds to bring his ministry across the United States. Even with his heaps of musical accolades — along with the Grammy nod, he's also scored two Billboard No. 1 albums and one Billboard No. 1 song — McReynolds is dedicated to spreading the word of Christ far and wide via every possible channel. On YouTube, his Bible-teaching videos regularly rack up tens of thousands of views, and he published his first book, titled Make Room: Finding Where Faith Fits, in November of 2018, a volume filled with personal observations, spiritual lessons and scripture-based advice gleaned from a lifetime in the church. Whether by the written word, recorded music or his personal preference, live and in-person, McReynolds lives to spread the teachings of Christ to audiences thirsty for divine intervention.

McReynolds was basically born into the church. He grew up the son of a single mother on the South Side of Chicago, and began playing drums and organ and singing in the youth choir at a young age. Along with the influence of gospel greats like Kim Burrell, Smokie Norful and Israel Houghton, he looked up to secular superstars like Stevie Wonder, John Mayer and Paul McCartney. He released his first album, called Life Music, in 2012, when he was 23 years old, and since then has seen his career skyrocket. His live performances typically find him center stage, sharing the spotlight with only his golden singing voice, his righteous word and an acoustic guitar — a mesmerising, uplifting experience that will fill your soul.
