In 1997, Matthew Barnett and the Dream Center joined forces with David Hanley to develop a new and exciting vision for music. This vision was to change lives with a positive and relevant voice. Press Play was established from the local community and across the nation, brought together by a common passion for music and to see lives transformed, including their own.

As the Dream Center has grown into a major social catalyst for change, Press Play has exploded into a multimedia experience onstage, and off stage has become a collection of creativity. In 1998, Dream Center Studios, a state-of-the-art recording studio and full production media department, was launched. As a functioning outreach of the Dream Center, the studio has completed eight projects for Press Play including live recordings, DVDs, and several full-length albums. Musicians worldwide have come to contribute to this ever-expanding wealth of innovation that has become Press Play.
