What Joyful Noise, Inc. does

Joyful Noise, Inc. is a privately held Catholic music publishing and ministry company operated by recording artist and author Amanda Vernon. The company produces and distributes a catalog of eight studio albums, singles, and sheet music — including the 2017 Life Teen Theme Song 'Heart of God' and the 2018 Spanish-language album Secretos Navideños — through a direct-to-consumer website storefront, CDBaby, and major streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple Music).

Its service offerings center on live event bookings: concerts, keynote talks, workshop sessions, and multi-night parish missions delivered at Catholic parishes, dioceses, youth ministry conventions, and faith-based conferences across the U.S. and internationally (including World Youth Days in Australia and Spain, and performances in France). Complementary media products include the self-published memoir 'When God Wrecks Your Romance' (co-authored with Fr. Matt Fase, CSC) and the 'We Should Pray' podcast. Recurring revenue is supported by a monthly patron subscription program offering exclusive content.

The business model is a hybrid of professional services (live performance and speaking fees), unit-priced digital/physical sales (singles at $0.99, sheet music at $10), and a subscription tier. Marketing runs on content — a weekly blog, YouTube, podcast, Instagram, Facebook, and an email newsletter via MailerLite. Customer concentration sits in the Catholic institutional segment (Life Teen, dioceses, Theology of the Body Institute), and the entire enterprise is structurally tied to a single key-person talent, with no external funding, no parent company, and operations running on a 1–10 person footprint out of Phoenix, AZ.

Broad incumbents

Casting Crowns: Major contemporary Christian music group with broad catalog and large-scale touring. Operates in the same faith-based music space but at significantly larger scale, representing a broader incumbent rather than a direct niche competitor.
