Go Fish
Go Fish has enjoyed a long creative partnership with producer and mix engineer Darren Rust at Skyland Studios, dating back to 2001. Darren first worked with the group as a mix engineer on their Christmas release More Than a Story, and soon after remixed their earlier album Part of the Proof to modernize its sound.
Not long afterward, Go Fish signed with Inpop Records, where Darren produced the group’s title track and their first No. 1 hit single, “Savior”. Following that chapter, the band shifted creative direction and partnered again with Darren to develop a new concept: high-energy, faith-based music designed specifically for kids.
That collaboration began with the breakout project Splash, which helped establish Go Fish as a leading voice in Christian children’s music. Darren went on to produce a long series of releases with the group, including Superstar, Snooze, Snazzy, Party Like a Preschooler, Kickin' It Old School, Christmas with a Capital C, Praise, and Kids Music.
During this time, Darren also collaborated as a co-writer with band leader, Jamie Statema on select material. The group’s growing catalog eventually expanded beyond recordings, forming the foundation for the highly successful Vacation Bible School curriculum developed through Go Fish Resources.
