About I Am Radio
I AM Radio is a Christian non-profit non-denominational commercial-free radio station located in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. We believe that music is a social medium that reaches out to believers and non-believers alike. We want to give people an alternative to the other pop-rock and contemporary media out there which promotes hopelessness, despair, anger, and lust. Instead we want to provide a message of hope and encouragement. There are many talented and committed Christian artists creating Christian Music and we hope to promote them and their message about Jesus Christ as a part of our ministry to the world..
- I AM Radio was originally "THE WORD" Radio from 2000 to 2007 when we renamed it "University Community Radio" (UCR) as part of the University Community Church.
- We renamed the station "I AM Radio" in early 2010.
- In October of 2012 we split our format into 2 separate streams known as "I AM Christian Rock" and "I AM Christian Contemporary"
- In October of 2019 we dicontinued the Christian Rock stream.

- Good music. This also is very subjective but some sense of rhythm and musicality is a plus.
- Good production. It is well worth it to have your music professionally produced(mixed). This can make or break your bands success. That being said, we have had bands that produced their own music that was phenomenal
Just because we didn't accept your first music submission doesn't mean you should give up. We can provide you with constructive criticism if you ask for it.

Passion Music
There's Nothing That Our God Can't Do
This song has been an anthem for us. We don't know about you, but we need this reminder everyday: there's nothing that our God can't do. We hope that this prayer sinks in deep and becomes a song of faith for you. No matter what you are walking through, Our God is always working for your good and His Glory.’
Hannah Kerr
Ordinary
It comes down to the fact that there is no mundane. Even though it might feel like we're just going through the motions or we're stuck in the same place, God makes every moment new. His mercies are new every morning and He makes the ordinary extraordinary!
Nathan Sheridan
Again
'Again', penned solely by Sheridan, depicts chapters in the artist’s own story. Sheridan vulnerably remembers the loss of his sister and the important role his grandparents played in raising him.
"I think the story is relatable for everyone. We’ve all lost someone we love somewhere along the way and can identify with that theme.”
Jason Biddle
Amazing Grace(Saved My Soul)
"I knew I wanted to to do a remake of an old hymn and the song 'Amazing Grace' kept coming to my mind. I knew it had to be different, and head bobbin with ripping guitars and southern gospel church harmonies. Yet... simply explain how His grace is so powerful. By Him giving me something I dont deserve, I can be free. His Grace is seen and shown on the Cross. Its our choice to accept that truth or not."
Beauty from the Ashes
Suzanne Hodson
In Isaiah 61 it talks about preaching good tidings, binding up the brokenhearted, proclaiming liberty to the captives and opening the prison to those that are bound. God can do that for us. He promises beauty for ashes and joy for mourning.
We all go through some tough things in life. God can help us learn from these experiences and even find beauty. I hope you'll find peace in this song, and in the challenges you are facing today.
Jason Gray
Remind Me You're Here
As difficult things happen in the world and in our own lives, the answer God gives us all through the Bible isn’t a step by step “how to” guide for every situation… His presence IS the answer. This is a song that puts that incredibly powerful and encouraging principal into a 3 and a half-minute Christian song.
As suicide and depression rates grow, especially this time of year, and loneliness and isolation run rampant in today’s world, Jason offers this reminder that even in the hardest times of our lives, we are not alone, and that there’s hope.
Cochren & Co.
One Day
None of us are strangers to the brokenness of this life," Cochren shares about the new song. "We've all experienced firsthand the pain of loss, illness, and injustice. As we look around this world it's easy to feel hopeless, but thank God we are promised more than this world. We are promised heaven. That's the hope I'm clinging to, the hope of healing for all creation.
O My Soul
Now and Forever
As a band, “Now and Forever” is a very important song to us. As it was being crafted, we wanted to convey a few simple reminders to our listeners. First, God is Worthy of our Praise; Always! Second, He is with Us; No matter What! And Finally; It’s in His Presence that we find Hope for Today and Hope for all Eternity! We pray this song will be a blessing to you!
Mark Tedder
We Call You Jesus
There comes a time in every persons life when desperation kicks in. Maybe you need just a word of hope, that everything's gonna be ok. Perhaps you got the cancer scare, and you need a healer. Maybe you've hit the wall, and you just need to know 'it's not over'. Or you've experienced something in your life that is beyond your control - you need an answer, now!
I pray that 'We Call You Jesus' is that song that brings comfort in the doctors office, a knowing that there's a refuge in the storm, peace in the night hours, a hope that it's gonna get better, and that certainty that He’s forever faithful.
Peter Wamono
What A Friend
I wrote "What A Friend" in a tough season of transition in my life where I found He was the most consistent and present and reliable person. This song helped me keep my focus in the right place. Jesus is the same no matter what we face in life, and He will take us to spend eternity with Him in the end. In a fickle world competing for our attention, I hope the song encourages many to fix their eyes on Christ's unfailing love.
Manafest
Plan for Me
Christopher Greenwood (of Manafest) hopes that this song will "bring awareness to the truth about abortion ... and make an impact on pro-life and people not making decisions just on what they see."
Greenwood says he and his wife were impacted by the movies "Unplanned" and "Hush" and that advocating for those who can not speak for themselves was really on his heart.
"I've been praying all year about how God can use my platform in music to kind of speak out in music like this in a really loving way ... and that is when I started to write the lyrics to 'Plan For Me.'"
