Praise Panda

Jesus. EDM. Panda. New music every Friday in 2026. Under the Praise Panda alias, Gary Vestal brings his love for electronic music and worship together with one purpose: to make dance music that points people to Jesus Christ. Based out of Sacramento, California, Gary has been immersed in music since his early teens, beginning on drums through marching band and later serving on multiple worship teams. Praise Panda began in mid-2025 as a calling from God to create dance music that praises Jesus and offers a Christ-centered alternative to secular EDM. Together with his wife, Anamaria Vestal, Gary creates music that blends deep house with sounds from across the electronic music spectrum, combining chill grooves, melodic production, and worship centered unmistakably on Jesus. Influenced by artists such as Nofsky, Rave Jesus and Alex Baker, Praise Panda explores different sides of EDM while keeping the message at the heart of every song. Whether through deep house, melodic electronic sounds, or something entirely different, the purpose remains the same: to glorify God, proclaim Jesus, and create a place where electronic music becomes worship.
