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.
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 has gained a huge following for his Christian pop/rock sound which has gained him huge success on the US Christian charts as well as appearing numerous times on the Billboard. With his gaining momentum, Jeremy has taken his live show from humble beginnings to large stages entertaining huge numbers of fans.
He still has a great manner in making the whole experience feel very personable. It is the combination of the traditional way in which he performs his songs and his natural, easygoing mannerisms with the crowd as he exchanges onstage chatter and jokes with a number of the audience and makes them all feel very included. His faith is very much at the centre of the show and he makes impassioned speeches about the influence of religion on songs before performing heartfelt versions of 'There Will Be a Day' and 'I Still Believe'. It is the sincerity overall though that really stands Jeremy above the crowds and proves he feels genuinely blessed to be onstage.

Toby McKeehan otherwise known as tobyMac is an innovator of sorts as he has successfully blended Christianity and hip-hop, two entities that one would not necessarily place together. Due to being one of the artists at the forefront of the combination, he naturally has amassed a large following globally which has allowed him to preach his message through his verse.
He has five albums to hand select his setlist from and of course he must include some work from the Grammy award winning album 'Eye On It'. A naturally warm performer, he interacts with his audience throughout and is genuinely pleased by the cheers for fan favourites 'Made To Love' and 'City On Our Knees'. Unusually for a hip-hop act, he performs part of the set acoustically but this is Toby's chance to allow his lyrics to shine and to be able to talk more with his audience about the influence of faith on his music. He is clearly passionate for both his religion and his music and by the finale you really feel as though Toby has given his all to the performance.
