Kainos spent two years crafting their highly-anticipated debut CD Alive.
"The title is a reminder of where I am and where I've been," says Ben, who spent his youth in southern Brazil where his parents were missionaries. But after moving to the Ukraine as a teen, Ben rebelled. "I really was into experimenting with all kinds of things, including drugs. I was questioning everything, but I wasn't coming up with the right answers. Even after my family moved back to the United States, I was still lost. It was the worst possible scenario anybody could find themselves in-and every parents' nightmare."
After being robbed at gunpoint and spun out on drugs, Ben found something unexpected. "I had no foundation because it had all been stripped away and it wasn't until I surrendered to Christ that I was able to have stability in my life." He soon met Hannah, whose remarkable voice had just gotten her a slot touring the country with the Continental Singers. A friendship and a shared musical and spiritual passion began to take form.
"We had a good bit in common," says Hannah. "Especially our love for music, and our desire to get others to start thinking about their own beliefs-to get to the core."
With Hannah's powerhouse voice and Ben's extraordinary gifts as a writer and guitar player, the couple began to create music that spoke to the urgent needs of their generation. "Our heart is to challenge this generation not to be bound to traditions set by the church or the world," explains Ben. "We want to wake them up, tell them it's great that they are going to church, but don't sleepwalk through it. Don't show up just because it's what you've done all your life. Dig in there. Find out what it's all about."
