Durand Gist, gist4God Music - A Day of Gospel & Inspirational Music with Family & Friends

Durand Gist is a genre-bending vocalist, songwriter, producer, and guitarist blending gospel roots with raw soul and contemporary R&B. A pastor’s kid raised in the church, his sound is both unapologetically faith-driven and undeniably modern—gritty, smooth, and emotionally charged. Cutting his teeth in the San Francisco Bay Area’s live music scene, Durand built a reputation for powerful performances before making his move to Los Angeles, where he gained industry experience working with Motown/MoJazz Records in Artist Relations. Now stepping fully into his artistry, Durand delivers bold, soul-stirring music that speaks to real life, real faith, and real growth—positioning him as a fresh, authentic voice in today’s music landscape.
