By Jenny Bennett for GospelMusicChannel.com

Above the Golden State’s self-titled debut released in late July. The music video for the first single, “Sound of Your Name,” world premiered on Gospel Music Channel last week. Lead singer Michael Watson chatted with GospelMusicChannel.com by phone from New York City about the making of the video.

There are quite a few people in the video. Who are they?

They are all friends of mine and people I know who go to my church, Solid Rock Church in Portland, Oregon. The best thing about [the video] is it’s all just friends. Even though it looks like complete strangers, I know everyone. The guy with the beard is a homeless guy we know. There are a lot of awesome people in the video. They are all just friends of mine. I’m not dating any of the girls. Everyone always asks that.
