Songwriters Form Poets & Prophets, Sign With Fair Trade Services
Four of Christian music’s most respected songwriters have joined forces to create Poets & Prophets. Together, experienced worship leaders Rebekah White Williams, Josh Farro, Mitch Wong, and Tommy Iceland have created a fresh musical group poised to combine and expand their collective creativity. The chart-topping, award-winning songwriters have signed a recording contract with Fair Trade Services, who will release Poets & Prophets’ first single, “Make Room,”on Mar. 13, 2026.
“We are so fortunate to partner with four individually successful voices that have come together with a heart to bring the body into worship as a collective," shares Fair Trade Service's James Rueger. "I have known and respected all four of them over the years and it's exciting to finally get to work together!"
The powerhouse lyricists that comprise Poets & Prophets have written songs recorded by some of the biggest names in the genre, including CeCe Winans, Phil Wickham, Elevation Worship, Brandon Lake, ELEVATION RHYTHM, Chris Tomlin and Maverick City Music, among many others. Between the four writers, they have 144 songs charting on CCLI in the top 2000, underscoring their deep impact on the Church’s modern worship canon. With a dual calling to both draw listeners into the wonder and beauty of God and to embrace the harder, countercultural work of stirring hearts to worship, Poets & Prophets wants their music to echo the timeless truths of Scripture, reminding the Church of the transformative power of faith.
Their introductory single, “Make Room,” will also serve as their official radio debut when it drops next month. The moving worship anthem was written by Williams andFarro, along with EvelynHeideriqui and LucasCortazio. Simultaneously intimate and bold, Poets & Prophets’ version of “Make Room” invites listeners to clear away distractions and create space for God’s presence to dwell. Moreover, it sets the tone for the group’s mission: to craft music that is as beautiful as it is challenging, rooted in Scripture and overflowing with the Spirit.
