Randy Seedorff & Soul Purpose is a Kansas City-based Christian rock band formed in 2010 out of a calling to use music as ministry. Music can be a powerful force and it has a unique ability to bring a message to the heart of a person that words often can't deliver. Music has been a great influence in the life of band leader and founder Randy Seedorff. He feels strongly in bringing that same healing and restoration through music to others who suffer from the struggles of life.

Solid Ground Band is based out of KC and consists of 4 members all of whom had played in secular bands in the past. We came together 4 years ago with a common interest to write christian based music with a rock sound. We pray that God will open doors for a music genre not currently heard on christian radio that will help further the Kingdom of God.

It's my hearts desire to see as many reach with The Gospel as possible. In particular the next few generations coming up- not withstanding my own generation. I feel like the nature of my testimony and the way Christ has chosen to use that to the advancement of His Kingdom is crucial in the present landscape of the world. Music has very graciously been the way Christ has allowed me to convey His message of Salvation in my life.

We want to encourage people in the love of Jesus! We are four guys who are followers of Jesus first, husbands and fathers second and musicians last. Our songs revolve around the central theme of Gods overwhelming, unrelenting love for us!
