Joakim & Therése Sandström
In the summer of 2018, God began to show Joakim and Therése Sandström His heart for the music industry in both Sweden and the rest of the world. Shortly thereafter a question began to rise within their hearts: "How would our society, culture and even our country look like if the love of God saturated the music bussiness?" The question moved Joakim and Therése deeply, whom have insight in the industry through many years of experience in music production and songwriting.
Joakim is a producer and Therése a singer/songwriter who loves Jesus and wants to make their whole lives about Him.
Joakim comes from Gothenburg, and Therése from Örebro, Sweden. They met at the Songwriters Academy of Sweden in Örnsköldsvik the year of 2010, and have ever since partnered up in love, marriage, faith and the calling upon their lives to write music.
The couple started their own artistproject HOPE in 2017, now streaming all over the world.
- It is really on Gods heart that the music industry encounters his love. So many of the songs on the charts today are filled with darkness, depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, drugs, etc. But we want to show people something else, says Therése.
Joakim and Therése goal is that Light & Salt Records would be a record label where the principles of God's kingdom is the foundation on where they build their company. Joakim further emphasizes the importance of new music.
- Sweden is one of the world's largest exporters of successful music. We have an incredible heritage to be proud of and many talented artists, producers and songwriters. In the time being we believe that God will raise up new artists that wants to carry out joy, peace, hope, love and purpose through their music. And we want to be the springboard for that.
