Born on 22 October 1964 in Fairfax, Virginia, TobyMac got his music start in 1987 when he formed a duo with Michael Tait called DC Talk, and together they released “Christian Rhymes to a Rhythm” in 1988. They then recruited Kevin Max Smith and the three of them released ”DC Talk” which reached gold status, followed shortly by “Free At Last.” The tour that followed was a huge success, eventually leading to worldwide success.
TobyMac then went on to pursue a solo career in 2001 with the release of “Momentum.” The record earned five Dove Awards and a Grammy Nomination. “Welcome To The Diverse City” followed the success of his first solo album in 2004, which peaked at number 54 on the Billboard 200 and sold over 20,000 copies. In 2007 he released “Portable Sounds” and it sold over 50,000 copies, followed by his first live album released in 2008 entitled “Alive and Transported.” TobyMac’s fourth studio album, “Tonight” released in 2010 was an equally huge success; specifically it earned him “Artist Of The Year” at the Dove Awards and a nomination for Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album” Grammy. His fifth studio album entitled “Eye On It” was released in August 2012 and debuted at Number 1 on the Christian album charts.
Jeremy Camp grew up surrounded by music. His father, Tom, was the pastor at Harvest Chapel, and taught him how to play guitar. After completing high school, Camp attended an Assemblies of God college in Southern California for two years and later earned an associate of theology degree from Calvary Chapel Bible College. He later played all over Southern California.
His career has been extremely successful to date, having scored 32 No.1 hits on Christian Radio across all formats. His album “Beyond Measure” contributed six back-to-back No. 1 hits, including his track “Let It Fade” which maintained the No. 1 spot for 10 weeks on AC Radio.
Camp landed top spots for “Take You Back” and “Lay Down My Pride”. He also was voted the Best Male Artists in the 2005 Reader’s Choice Music Awards in the Christianity Today Magazine. It was in 2005 that he won the ASCAP Songwriter of the Year and the Dove Award for Male Vocalist of the Year for the second consecutive year. His song “Open Up You Eyes” was featured on the original soundtrack of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
In 2007, the first single, “Tonight” from the album “Beyond Measure” was released in mid-August, and eventually made it to No. 1 on the Christian contemporary hit radio. “Give Me Jesus”, the third single released from the album made it into the top 5 on inspirational radio. It was this year that he released a two disc CD and DVD for his concert tour “Live Unplugged” recorded in Franklin, Tennessee.
His best selling album in his career so far has been “We Cry Out: The Worship Project” which was released on August 24th 2010. It made it to number 15 in the US charts and number 1 in the Christian charts.
Everyone loves a classic feel good song, especially TobyMac, who focuses on inserting moral and spiritual messages into his music and appealing to the whole of the Christian community. Although his songs are catchy and something you expect to hear at your local party, one has to look deeper into the lyrics to fully understand this remarkable performer. TobyMac is a versatile artist who is comfortable creating a plethora of songs from different genres, from dance to pop to rap to rock, but makes sure that his discography always contains a continuous theme of how his experience as a Christian makes him a better person. One of the most notable names in Christian music, TobyMac has recorded six solo albums since 2001 with most of his success coming in recent years, winning Top Christian Artist and Album at the Billboard Music Awards in 2013, along with a Grammy for the catchy single 'Speak Life' released this year. The 49-year-old has a dedicated following and has played to packed out arenas of over 10,000 people, including the WinterJam 2013 gig in South Califournia. TobyMac isn't afraid to have a good time on stage and can spring the occasional surprise to the hysterics of the audience. During a rendition of 'No Ordinary Love' he bought out a team of marching drummers to accompany him halfway through the song and also pranced around the stage with his band following the end performance of 'Me Without You' as confetti showered down from the ceiling. A truly manic and unforgettable performance.

Seeing Jeremy Camp two years ago at a local festival in Gilford NH at Soulfest was the best experience I had.
He is very passionate about his music and is a Christian singer. He plays at a lot of Christian music festivals throughout the year. One of his songs Overcome helps people to overcome a tragedy in their life whatever it might be. Jeremy Camp has released eleven albums. Now onto what soulfest is - soulfest used to be a four day Christian music festival, but this year has been moved to three days (I will still be there - that won't stop me!) It is an outdoor festival at gunstock mountain in Gilford NH at which over 100 Christian artists perform songs, Jeremy Camp two years ago being one of them. My favorite songs of his are Jesus Saves, Overcome and There will be a day, all of which he performed. There is so much to say about someone who is so passionate about their love for God and shows it every night. They are on fire, they have a light about them, and a joy about them. Which is something I hope to do one day.
