Cade Thompson Biography
Cade Thompson (born Jan. 25, 2001) is an energetic, soulful contemporary Christian musician with a sound that appeals to believers and mainstream audiences. Cade’s effortless style promotes his personal musical influences, which draw heavily from the church. He has an admirable ability to transform his thoughts and faith into a powerful collection of melodies and lyrics that inspire people of all ages to step into all that God has for them.
Cade has had an affinity with music since his toddler days when even a preschool teacher noticed him frequently harmonizing early on. He eventually progressed through piano, guitar, and drum lessons. After joining the youth worship team in sixth grade, a music mentor came into his life who emphasized the importance of seeking God through the Bible outside of a worship setting. This understanding placed Cade on a deeper course of encountering the love of the Father and seeking His presence more intently. In these early teen years, Cade knew God was calling him into music ministry and giving him opportunities to grow in that calling.
God has continued to reveal Cade’s heart, resulting in a strong connection to his generation sonically and lyrically. Shortly after finishing high school, Cade moved to Nashville, Tennessee. Cade signed a record deal with Red Street Records, an independent Christian label founded by Rascal Flatts member Jay DeMarcus.
