Bryson Price is one of the main Christian electronic music figures.[1] Other artists have entered the genre too, such as Transform DJs, Re5a, Matthew Parker, Oiwolf, Tony Foxx, DJ Flubbel [2] and more.

Christian electronic artists such as Capital Kings, Owl City and Kye Kye have more of a pop sound. A significant number of artists from this genre tend not to take kindly to the Christian music label,[3][4] similar to notable rappers Andy Mineo and Lecrae.

Lead Pastor Greg Dumas of The Crossing Church started a Facebook group called Christians Against Dubstep and called dubstep "the demonic orchestra" and called CEDM in particular "evil devil music". However, commenters say the group is a troll page.[5] Matt Shea of Noisey also made a sarcastic blog post, saying "Nay, the Lord has spoken, and he has done so through womps...Hallelujah!"[6]
