Warren Barfield

Warren Harding Barfield Jr. (born May 4, 1979) is a Christian musician.

Musical career Barfield's first two albums (Beyond Me and My Heart Is Quiet) were independently produced. In 2003, he was signed to CCM label Creative Trust Workshop (CTW), which gave him more exposure. 'My Heart Goes Out' and 'Mistaken', songs from his third album 'Warren Barfield' project became Top 10 Christian radio hits. CTW folded soon thereafter, and Barfield's second studio album, "Reach", was released by Reunion Records in 2006.

Barfield's 2012 album, Redbird, was independently produced (with members of the production team including Wayne Kirkpatrick, Bryan White, and members of Needtobreathe) and featured a more acoustic sound compared to his earlier albums. Mark Rice of JesusFreakHideout has called the album less accessible than Barfield's previous work, likely to turn off the fans of his early overproduced pop-style music, but "a very rewarding listen" that showed that Barfield was "still a force to be reckoned with in Christian music."

In 2009, Barfield became a speaker and child sponsorship advocate.

In 2017, Barfield officially retired from his work in the Christian music industry.

Warren has been married since September 1, 2001 and has two children.
