Coming in 2017
SPARK is excited for 2017 and all it will bring. We want to wish you a new year that is filled with love, peace, joy, health, prosperity, and everything good!
Coming soon are the "SINGERS of SPARK" blog posts (kind of like "Humans of New York" or "People of WalMart," just not as gritty). You'll get to learn about each member below-the-surface and find out what makes them tick. You might learn how they have grown into the person they are, what their dreams are, or maybe discover some hidden nuggets of wisdom that they've never shared publicly. Be watching!
New music videos are also in the works for the coming year. Our next video will involve some fun fan participation and details will be coming soon. In the meantime, we hope you'll continue to share our "Start a Fire" music video (released November 2016) so its message can travel far and wide. We love the truth in the lyrics and particularly in the bridge of the song: "You are the fire, You are the flame, You are the light on the darkest day. We have the hope, we bear Your name, we carry the news that You have come to save. Only You can save."

BEHIND THE SCENES
Want to know something crazy about the "Start a Fire" music video? Initially, we didn't set out to make a music video, we were just planning to do a publicity photo shoot in downtown Provo. Shortly before our shoot, we discovered the song "Start a Fire" and really liked the message and sound, so we decided to do a combined shoot. At first it felt pretty haphazard doing a photo shoot and video shoot simultaneously, but we ended up having a lot of fun. We recorded the vocals AFTER the filming of the video (which is why you don't see the group singing throughout the video). The director of photography for our video was our very own multi-talented SPARK member, Nick Sales. We were also incredibly lucky to have Cameron Gade as our camera operator and Kurtis Dallon as our photographer. All three men were extremely professional and good-natured (amidst the chaos of doing both shoots) and we ended up with a music video and photos that we are proud of. (We can't forget a shout out to Dan Williams for the editing the music video!)
