Unified Sound is a worship movement comprised of world-class musicians focused on experiencing the sound of heaven here and now. This group has made it their mission to create a sound that transcends borders and unifies people worldwide.
Led by Joel Lopez, music producer and founder, Unified Sound has quickly become known for the passionate and soul-stirring arrangements they've created for some of today's best worship songs. Their music blends elements of salsa, gospel, contemporary worship, and world music to create a unique and catchy sound, genuinely connecting people to the heart of God.
The founding members are world-renowned musicians who work with some of Latin America's most iconic artists, such as Marc Anthony, Thalia, Jennifer Lopez, Emilio Estefan and many more. The founding members include: Jessie Caraballo (Percussionist), Janiel Caraballo (Bass), Gerardo Rodriguez (Trumpet), Bayron Ramos (Trombone) Oslavaldo Fleites (Trumpet) Roylan Vazquez (Saxophone).
Today Unified Sound has expanded, featuring a roster of over 15 musicians and
vocalists. Unified Sound's journey began in 2020 when they first released their rendition of "Do It Again" by Elevation Worship. The response was astounding, reaching people in South America, Europe, the Caribbean, and the United States. The God-given sound was so refreshing it began to spread worldwide.
In April of 2021, during the global pandemic, Joel gathered the team and suggested they all come together for their first live worship experience. So, in the middle of those uncertain times, they filled up the Bright Ministry Center in Orlando, Florida, with over 1000 people for a time of worship that released hope, joy and peace to many people and left them wanting more.
In the summer of 2021, Unified Sound released its first album on digital platforms with the partnership of Integrity Music. Since then, they have taken this exclusive live worship experience to several places around the country. At the beginning of 2023, they recorded their first LIVE album featuring Ingrid Rosario, Funky and the legend Dr. Ron Kenloy. Singles from the album are set to release starting in June of 2023.
Unified Sound is distinct in that its sound represents the kingdom of heaven. It is a fuse that unifies the body of Christ in one voice, with the sound of many pointing their praise to the only one worthy of all praise. They believe music can unite people regardless of race, ethnicity, or culture. Their sound reflects this belief, incorporating elements from different musical traditions to create a universal sound. Ultimately, their mission is to connect people to God's heart. They believe worship is more than just singing songs; it's about cultivating a deep and intimate relationship with God. Their music helps listeners create a space to encounter God's presence and experience his hope, love, joy and peace.
Whether performing at concerts or conferences, leading worship at churches, or
recording new music in the studio, Unified Sound holds no genre of music. Instead, their vision is capturing the sound of heaven here on earth where no separation of genre exists, but one praise gets lifted to the one true God. Their sound is changing lives and unifying cultures worldwide, and they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon.
