More about nuo

Hi! I’m Nuo, the creator of CJ and Friends!

When I started CJ and Friends, I had no idea that the concept of combining my passions to serve the Lord would resonate with and inspire so many others worldwide! The creative arts have played a huge role in my personal life as they have helped me in my healing process from depression and strengthened my relationship with God. I am passionate about working with kids and have always found myself in positions of teaching the youth. While volunteering in youth ministry at my church, I found that there was a lack of fun, excitement, and movement in kids worship music and got inspired!

I knew that God was calling me to utilize my strengths and do something in this realm. I started by remixing some old popular youth worship music and then created my own choreography to be added to the songs. The video that really made my idea come to life was a dance-along video I made to the song “Every Move I Make” which now has over 36 million views on our YouTube channel! The positive reaction to this video inspired me to continue to create more content, which has led me to serve an amazing online community of millions around the world. My hope is that the songs and videos that we produce communicate God’s love to kids all around the world and that they know who they are in Jesus.

It warms my heart to be able to see the impact that CJ & Friends has had over the years. Every message of gratitude from parents or video shared of kids dancing and singing along to our videos inspires me and my team to continue to provide the highest quality, faith filled content possible. I am so grateful to all of the support that we have received so far and have a strong vision for the future of this ministry!

💙 Nuo
