About Israel Houghton
Israel Houghton was born on May 19, 1971, in Oceanside, California, and has built a career as a singer, songwriter, producer, and worship leader in contemporary Christian music, gospel, and praise and worship. He is the leader of the musical ensemble and ministry organization known as Israel & New Breed, which grew out of New Breed Ministries, which he formed in 1995. Houghton has also served as a worship leader at Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas.
Houghton’s musical style blends gospel, jazz, rock, and Latin rhythms, a sound he has developed since beginning his recording career in 1997. His early album Whisper It Loud arrived that year, followed by New Season in 2001. The live recordings Live From Another Level (2004) and Alive in South Africa (2005) both achieved Gold-selling status. Later releases include The Power of One (2009), Love God. Love People. (The London Sessions) (2010), Jesus at the Center (2012), and Road to DeMaskUs (2018).
Houghton’s work has earned him seven Grammy Awards, multiple GMA Dove Awards, and several Stellar Awards. Through his role as a worship leader and the founder of Israel & New Breed, he has remained a consistent presence in gospel and contemporary Christian music for more than two decades.
