In the heart of Franklin, Tennessee, a city renowned for its deep roots in music and culture, WieRok Entertainment Group is making headlines once again. With over a decade of empowering Christian creatives under their belt, founders Lance and Tammie Wieland have unveiled a groundbreaking chapter in their legacy: WieRok Records, a dynamic Christian music label designed to elevate artistry and amplify faith-filled messages.

Sean Rodriguez Signs as WieRok Records' Flagship Artist

Anchored by their unwavering mission to support Christ-centered creatives, WieRok Records marks a bold new direction for the company, which has already made significant contributions to the music, film, and creative industries. The new label, distributed by the highly regarded Syntax Creative, debuts with a powerhouse signing—acclaimed singer/songwriter Sean Rodriguez.

Sean Rodriguez: A Star Takes Center Stage

WieRok Records couldn’t have chosen a more fitting flagship artist to launch their label. Sean Rodriguez, known for his electric stage presence and versatile musicality, is already a name to reckon with in the Christian music scene. His rise to prominence as a featured Pre-Jam artist on the 2023 Winter Jam tour introduced him to tens of thousands, showcasing his ability to captivate audiences with his charisma and authenticity.

Rodriguez’s music reflects his deeply rooted faith and his journey from serving as a children’s pastor and youth leader to becoming a full-time artist. His breakout single, “Center Stage,” a pop anthem with over 2.5 million streams, embodies his vibrant, hope-filled artistry. Fans eagerly anticipate his debut EP with WieRok Records, set to release later this month.

Expanding the Roster: Daniel Macal Joins the Team

The momentum doesn’t stop with Rodriguez. WieRok has also signed writer and producer Daniel Macal, a key figure in the Dove Award-winning band Sidewalk Prophets. With his unparalleled skills and experience, Macal joins a talented roster that includes Karin Simmons, Tyler Moody, and Greg “GREGATRON” Williams. Together, they form a creative powerhouse poised to redefine the landscape of Christian music.

A Vision Rooted in Faith and Excellence

WieRok Entertainment Group CEO Lance Wieland encapsulates the heart of the new venture:
“After many years of working with artists in various capacities, the next right step for us was becoming a full-service record company. We are thrilled to partner with Syntax Creative and welcome Sean Rodriguez as we continue to provide exceptional support to artists at every stage of their career.”

CFO Tammie Wieland adds, “This new season is an extension of our mission to uplift Christ-centered creatives and bring messages of hope, faith, and unity to the world. Thanks to incredible partnerships, we’re positioned to reach broader audiences and inspire lives globally.”

Building a Community of Creatives

WieRok Records is more than just a label; it’s a movement. The company’s commitment to fostering community within the industry is evident through initiatives like Writes & Bites, a songwriting program launched in 2020. This innovative event series has already propelled rising talents into remarkable opportunities, including song placements, publishing deals, and recording contracts.

Additionally, WieRok’s state-of-the-art recording studio serves as a creative hub for artists, hosting collaborations with industry leaders such as the Gospel Music Association, Integrity Music, and Curb | Word.

Beyond Music: Expanding Creative Horizons

While music remains at the core of WieRok’s mission, their influence extends into the world of film. The group has been instrumental in productions like the 2016 feature Priceless, starring Joel Smallbone of for KING & COUNTRY, and the upcoming movie The Good Fight with John Schneider, which is set for worldwide streaming distribution this year.

A Bright Future Ahead

Director of Marketing and Operations Kevin Sparkman emphasizes that the company’s foundation remains as solid as ever:
“We open this new chapter grounded in the integrity and intention our company was founded upon. With WieRok Records, we’re excited to cultivate meaningful relationships and create strategic partnerships, continuing our mission to empower and uplift Christian creatives.”

As WieRok Records embarks on this exciting journey, it’s clear that their passion for faith-driven creativity and their dedication to supporting artists will leave an indelible mark on the industry. From empowering emerging talent to producing transformative music and films, WieRok Entertainment Group is a beacon of hope, faith, and excellence in the creative arts.

The launch of WieRok Records is more than a milestone—it’s a testament to the Wielands’ unwavering vision of using creativity to inspire the world. And as they look to the future, one thing is certain: WieRok Entertainment Group is just getting started.
