Who is Don Moen?

Born June 29, 1950, Don Moen is an American singer-songwriter, worship leader, and producer of Christian worship music.

He finished high school in 1968. Then attended the University of Oklahoma where he earned a degree in music in 1972.

His music has total global sales of over five million units. He worked for Integrity Media for over 20 years, serving as Creative Director and President of Integrity Music, President of Integrity Label Group, and an Executive Producer of Integrity Music albums.

The singer left Integrity Media in 2007 to start a new initiative–The Don Moen Company. Moen received a Dove Award for his work on the musical, God With Us in addition to amassing nine nominations for his songs.

His first album for Hosanna! Music, Give Thanks, became the label’s bestseller. Produced by Tom Brooks, Give Thanks went on to be certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
