In 2020, during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, Michael Smejkal established Higher Power ENT. Known as ‘God’s Label,’ this independent Christian music label quickly became a guiding light of faith and hope in the music industry. Driven by a shared passion for spreading God’s word, it is founded on the commitment to nurture a tight-knit community of artists united by their faith and their music.
Based in Colorado Springs, Higher Power ENT has quickly made a name for itself in the music ministry world. The label operates on a principle of providing services at low to no cost, making sure financial hurdles don’t block the spread of their message. This inclusive approach has drawn a diverse group of talented artists to the label, whose music spans gospel, southern rock, hip-hop, and dance.
Michael Smejkal, the visionary behind Higher Power ENT, saw it as more than just a music label. He dreamed of creating a ministry that would extend a hand to the “lost and broken,” offering comfort and encouragement through the power of music. The label’s mission shines through its outreach efforts and partnerships with organizations that share its vision, all focused on making a real difference in communities through events and musical collaborations.
In a major move in 2024, Higher Power ENT teamed up with Sony/The Orchard, a partnership that marks a significant milestone and is set to broaden its impact in the Christian music scene. This exciting collaboration will debut with the release of two tracks that are expected to deeply connect with both new and long-time fans. This partnership sets the stage for Higher Power ENT’s talented roster to reach even wider audiences. The label prides itself on a diverse lineup of artists who not only embody the label’s ethos but also enrich the musical tapestry with their unique sounds and messages.
In showcasing its dedication to diversity and quality, Higher Power ENT features a vibrant array of artists, including Rusty Drake, whose rock melodies offer peace, and Debbie Fisher, who carries Southern Gospel messages of hope. J King blends gospel and hip-hop to inspire unity, while international artists like Lizzykin from Nigeria and PinkShark from Australia add a global flavor. The label’s richness continues with DJtuneZ76’s uplifting soundscapes, Electra Olga’s powerful ballads, and Poetic Da Missionary’s heartfelt gospel messages. Jay Weezy from Nigeria, Daniel Curtis from Nashville, and New York’s Pusha Persona each bring unique styles that inspire and connect with audiences worldwide. KOT Flame and Jonah Nathan (Solomonic Journey) round out this eclectic group with their distinct musical contributions that reinforce the label’s mission.
Higher Power ENT places a strong emphasis on community and spiritual nourishment, which it fosters through its music and ministry activities. By centering on healing and spiritual rest, the label becomes a pillar of support for many who are seeking comfort, both within and beyond the Christian community.
Michael Smejkal continues to lead Higher Power ENT with a deep passion for music and a steadfast commitment to his faith. His leadership is key in steering the label toward its mission of uplifting spirits and nurturing a sense of community among its artists and audiences.
