Encomium

Rock/pop band that's all about expressing love, gratitude, and marvel towards God. With a mission to bring this generation into a deeper knowledge and connection with God.

It all began with one simple point: an immense amount of zeal for God. Like a domino-effect, pieces started to fuse one to another; the zeal mobilized a desire to serve. With this desire surfaced a hidden talent in music, which blossomed into leading a congregation to worship and song writing. Finally, a burden to impact a generation through music was revealed, a revelation that forever changed lives, and defined a divine calling to worship.

Vocalist/guitarist Devy Jamin, bassist Ivan Limongan, and drummer Andreas Sullivan are blending their zeal and talents together as ’Encomium’. The band's sole purpose is to bring a generation into a deeper knowledge and connection with God. They are compelled to inspire and encourage their generation to search for the truth and enlightenment in times of total manipulation, lies, and darkness.

Rewinding everything and returning to the origin:a zeal for God. If this one simple point is taken away... encomium would be... nonexistent.

Yes, we love playing live at our local church sunday service in Portland (Oregon City Blessing) and other churches, youth events around the Pacific Northwest.

Our influences are ranging from secular to Christian bands, from rock to alternative to brit pop to emo. Some of the band we love are U2, Delirious, Matt Redman, STP, Lifehouse, Copeland, Switchfoot. Our songs have that melody emo rock, brit-pop "feel" to them.
