ABOUT

INFLUENCE MUSIC

Prophetic, powerful, and pertinent, Influence Music stands up in the face of darkness, bringing light, hope, encouragement, and Biblical truth through worship. The faith-based record label and artist collective birthed out of Influence Church in Anaheim Hills, California, compassionately implores their listeners to remember the sovereignty of God and hold faith in His supreme power and character. Created in 2018, Influence Music has quickly become a noteworthy collective of worshippers in the Christian Music market. 

Influence Music, comprised of artists Melody Noel, Whitney Medina, Anjin Teal and Zach Johnson. It is rooted in a purpose-filled desire to create a culture and language of worship for every person, both in and outside of the church, for the single purpose of bringing glory to God.

Influence Music experienced breakout success, catapulting to Billboard magazine No. 2 on the Christian Albums chart, No. 7 on the Emerging Artists chart, and No. 1 album on iTunes, with “Touching Heaven” from their debut EP of the same name. “Mistakes,” sung by Noel, was in the top 25 on Christian Radio Airplay charts, while “Spirit Lead Me,” emerged in the top 20 of Christian Billboard Hot Tracks. Since then influence Music has released two live albums and two studio albums with songs ranking in the CCLI top 500. By the favor of God they’ve been able to collaborate with groundbreaking Christian artists such as Kim Walker-Smith, Mack Brock, Christine D’Clario and more. Their highly anticipated live album “Long Live The King” is slated to release in July of 2023.

MELODY NOEL

Influence Music is spearheaded by Melody Noel Hernandez who grew up listening and performing Mariachi music with her father, Jose Hernandez, a 10-time Grammy-nominated Mariachi composer. The first Hernandez in a 125-year lineage to pursue a genre outside of Mariachi, Noel’s love for pop music led her to the prestigious, Clive Davis School of Recorded Music at NYU. As a songwriter, she has had an iTunes No. 1 single with Jennifer Lopez and Lin Manuel Miranda, and collectively has more than 10 million plays as a featured artist on Spotify. Today, as director of Influence Music, she oversees the label and worship department.

WHITNEY MEDINA

Medina’s dynamic personality, quick wit, and fearless confidence initially pushed her toward a career in acting. Although she had a passion for singing, she never felt like her voice was strong enough to pursue music as a career. One day her life completely shifted when she heard a pastor say, “No one can do you, like you can do you.” She realized her voice had value and a place. Medina knew in an instant she was called to music and has pursued it with her whole heart ever since. After attending Fullerton College for Vocal Performance studies, she began leading worship with her husband, Andrew, at Influence Church. Medina is one of the many gifted writers behind some of Influence Music’s most powerful songs.
