Few Christian artists ever reach a level of success that affords them the opportunity to appear on television in front of over 25 million music lovers weekly, or tour arenas nationwide in front of throngs of screaming fans. But thanks to the wildly successful American Idol TV program on FOX, those dreams became reality for RJ Helton even before he signed a deal with B-Rite Music earlier this year. After finishing in the Top 5 on AI's first season (along with the now-platinum Kelly Clarkson), RJ relishes the chance to flex his pop panache on Real Life. Demonstrating a command of urban/pop/Latin vocal stylings only hinted at on American Idol, Helton moves effortlessly through the funky beats of "Why Don't We Pray?" to the smooth licks of "Love Song" and the soulful "My Devotion."

Filled with pop, urban/hip-hop grooves, searing, scorching ballads, and Latin strings, this impressive album will give the world a glimpse into RJ the songwriter and artist. Real Life is sure to please RJ's scores of fans while at the same time winning over new ones everywhere!
