Performing songs/hymns with uplifting messages is not longer the job of good looking people with a good voice. There are increasingly high number of religious figures who perform songs. no one is more popular than Sheikh Mishari Rashid al-Afasy, the Saudi national who is a fixture of religious themed shows and music.
Sheikh Mashary has a large library of songs to his name and in Ramadan he is busy with various songs and TV shows. He does have a great voice and he has recited the holy Qur'an, it's only natural for him to use his voice for a good cause which performing songs with positive messages.
Not much literature is published about Sheik in English, but I know he is a BIG household name in the Arab and the Muslim world. He uses all tools to get his message out. Islam is in the 21 century. If it takes videos to get his message out so be it. Here is one of his many songs talking about good manners and the prophet of Islam.
