IndieHeaven founder and CIA Summit director Keith Mohr states, "It's important to recognize and applaud the efforts made in recent years by artists who are independent. By providing them the recognition they have earned, we hope to increase their platform and awareness. There are many independent artists who are doing an incredible job with their music and most importantly their mission. We look forward to the awards being a part of our annual artist’s conference."

“The music and writing style of IndieHeaven artist John Gillespie has proven to be unique in the Contemporary Christian music genre and it stems from the fact that he has spent the last decade traveling the nation presenting the Carved In Stone message of God’s value system, the Ten Commandments. As a gifted song writer and performer, John Gillespie shares his heart through a music and media worship experience presentation. During the presentation, Gillespie relates through personal stories and encourages the audience to begin sharing their own personal stories as a way to connect with others. The vision and mission of Carved In Stone, Inc., a non-profit organization, can be found at www.CarvedInStone.org. Most agree that John’s music style is infectiously fun while maintaining a polished and smooth sound. You may visit the website to listen for yourself. An Oklahoma City resident, when Mr. Gillespie is not traveling with Carved In Stone, he can be found in the air flying high in his new Cirrus SR-22 or in his home studio writing songs. He is the President of Access Financial Group, Inc. and Founder of Access Charitable Consultants in Bethany, OK where he serves a growing number of clients with their trusts, estate planning, investments and overall financial portfolios. Aside from music and Wall Street, John spends his time as a husband, father, grandfather, trumpeter, fisherman, and overall seeker of God's Abundant blessings.”
