About John Mays

John Mays, VP of A&R for Centricity Music, is one of Christian music’s most respected executives, having worked in A&R at Word, Sparrow, and Star Song Records before serving as president of Benson Records. Over his 35-year career, Mays discovered and signed Point Of Grace, Scott Krippayne, Cindy Morgan, Matt Redman, Nichole Nordeman, Warren Barfield, and the Passion worship recordings. Mays helped found Centricity Music in 2005 where he has signed and developed Downhere, Jason Gray, Aaron Shust and current new artists Unspoken and Lauren Daigle.

The Andrews, TX native has been married to Dianne for 37 years and continues to brag on their kids, Kelsey and John Austin. When asked about his life philosophy, John says, “There aren’t too many problems that can’t be helped by a Mac computer, some Mexican food, or a trip to Texas.
