    In a society where hopelessness is a trend, it's time for a change. The music and ministry of Gospel Music Association award winning vocalist/multi-instrumentalist Walt Wise is an expression of that change. Walt has worked with such national artists as Pat Moraz (Yes, Moody Blues), Mike Williams (P-Funk, James Brown), Whitecross, Bride, Sacred Warrior, Bo Diddly, John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band, The Daz Band, BeBe & CeCe Winans, Color Me Badd, Rocktron/Peavey guitar clinician Neil Zaza (Dweezil Zappa, Bobby Rock, Steve Smith), Chris Graffagnino (Michael W. Smith), Frank Romano (Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige), Mark Avsec (Wild Cherry, Donnie Iris), and many others. As the driving force and principal writer for the band Catalyst (which included former Bride drummer Stephan Rolland) Walt's music was internationally distributed by Spring Arbor and received extensive airplay domestically and abroad. After embarking on a solo career Walt received a coveted Gospel Music Association songwriting award, and became a World Vision Artist Associate.

Emerson H., Whitethrone Magazine/ "Jolly good!" - CCM Magazine/ "Maintains an aggressive edge while pulling off a clean, professional, and commercial sound.
