Planetshakers isn't just a pop and rock band. It is a youth movement in itself. Founded by the Paradise Community Church in Adelaide, Australia, Planetshakers sprung to life in 1979 performing for Paradise Community students.
It's main driving force, is key member Henry Seeley who is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and the producer of the Planetshakers.

As well as Henry, there is Sam Evans, Michael Guglielmucci, Rudy Nikkerud, Matt Garner, drummer Mike Webber and Jonathon Hunt who is a guitarist and keyboard player.
'Saviour of the World' is the title of their 2007 phenomenal album that has had rave reviews. Along with the album they give a bonus DVD featuring live worship songs.
The Planetshakers intend to empower their listeners in-order to lead them towards the teachings of Jesus Christ. They combine their energetic musical talents with their zeal for God and all that is Christian by preaching and instructing their fans, as well as playing them music.
Their unique ability to empathize and connect with the needs of young people has led them to receive a huge following that is steadily spreading out across the globe. This combined with the bands enthusiasm and energy has helped to increase the annual attendance of the Paradise Community event to over 20,000.
The goal of the Planetshakers is to build more ministries and churches that young people can relate to, and if their past performances are anything to go by they might just achieve it.
