About TWP Records
Real stories. Real faith. Real music.
TWP Records is an independent Christian record label based in Texas, founded by songwriter and producer Forrest Tooley. It is the label within Texas Worship Project, bringing together distinct artist identities around a shared purpose: music that glorifies God and speaks honestly about real life.
The mission behind Texas Worship Project
Texas Worship Project exists to point people toward Christ through music rooted in faith, struggle, redemption, and hope. Its mission places ministry before the music business: creating songs that can encourage people, give voice to difficult questions, and remind listeners of grace in the middle of unfinished stories.
The role of TWP Records
TWP Records is the record-label side of that mission. Texas Worship Project is both the wider project and the name of its contemporary country Christian artist. The label brings that artist together with Mercy Hollow and Shattered Thorn, giving each a distinct musical identity within the same family.
Three artists. Distinct voices.
Texas Worship Project creates contemporary country Christian music. Mercy Hollow draws on traditional country storytelling and faith-driven themes. Shattered Thorn brings driving guitars, gritty vocals, and melodic Christian hard rock to songs about spiritual struggle, endurance, and grace. The sounds differ; faith and honest storytelling connect them.
The songwriter and producer
Forrest Tooley founded Texas Worship Project and TWP Records. He is the songwriter and producer behind the project’s music, including the Texas Worship Project and Mercy Hollow artist identities. His work centers on real struggles, real questions, faith, and hope.
Message and integrity
The vision for the label is to connect Christian artists through music that glorifies God without sacrificing their message or integrity. Relationships, collaboration, and encouragement are central to that purpose. The music makes room for doubt, pain, and unanswered questions while continuing to point toward Christ.
Part of a wider purpose
The record label is one expression of the overall Texas Worship Project mission. Music, the artist family, and TWP Radio provide ways to share songs of faith and encouragement. The purpose running through them is the same: to reach people through honest music and keep Christ at the center.
