Byron Louis Cage (born December 15, 1962) is an American gospel recording artist.
Inspired by the singing of the late Rev. Donald Vails and Thomas Whitfield, Cage began singing gospel music as a teenager. Cage went on to attend Morehouse College in Atlanta, GA, where he was a member of the Morehouse College Glee Club. He also joined New Birth Cathedral in Atlanta. He also served as music director for Greater Grace Temple (PAW), in Detroit, Michigan.
While signed to Atlanta International, Byron Cage & Purpose released two live recordings: Dwell Among Us in 1995, which featured "Dwell Among Us", "The Blood" and "The Glory Song" & Transparent in Your Presence in 1996, featuring "Forever I'll Worship", "He's There", and "God's Word". On both albums, Cage served as co-producer. Cage has also made a guest appearance with the Full Gospel Baptist Fellowship Church Choir and Bishop Paul S. Morton. He appeared on the albums "New Thing: Experience the Fullness" in 1996 and "Bow Down & Worship Him" in 1998.
For his first recording with Gospocentric Records, and after having parted ways with Purpose, Byron Cage released his first solo LP Live at New Birth Cathedral with an accompanying DVD. His most celebrated work to date, Live showcases the production abilities of his labelmate Kurt Carr, as well as the writing ability of famed gospel vocalist Donnie McClurkin, on a track entitled "It Is To You" (which was actually written by UK songwriter Duke Kerr). The album's success garnered Cage five Stellar Award wins in 2004.
On Byron's second release from Gospocentric, An Invitation to Worship he enlists the production of PAJAM, as evident on the track entitled "We Love You", which features J Moss, a prominent member of the production trio. On the CD/DVD set, Cage has found tremendous comfort in his role as a renowned worship leader on church favorites: "I Will Bless the Lord", "He Reigns", and "Lift Him Up". An Invitation to Worship was nominated for three Stellar Awards and a Grammy in 2007.
