Salvador Official Site!
Two words fans don’t usually associate with contemporary Christian music. After all, artists are supposed to step on the stage and deliver a performance that is effortless, seamless, spontaneous – not to mention spiritually significant. But the truth is nothing good happens by accident. Good happens when talented musicians work hard. Great happens when that hard work is combined with dedication, determination, focused attention to detail, and a conscious decision to deflect the credit from themselves to their Creator.

Casting Crowns
In an unprecedented six-year span with nearly 4.5 million career album sales, a GRAMMY Award, an American Music Award, 23 Dove Awards and 8 chart-topping radio singles, Casting Crowns remains focused on discipleship through music. With lead singer and songwriter Mark Hall’s 18 years in youth ministry, the band’s message remains rooted in the student services he has led on a weekly basis since 2001, at Eagles Landing Baptist church near Atlanta. The songs start as messages for his 400 teenagers and their families. With boldly honest, hard-hitting lyrics, the band continues to challenge, strengthen and pour into the body of Christ, giving listeners a fresh, relevant perspective on loving God and loving people.

Amy Grant
Conventional wisdom has it that Amy Grant put Contemporary Christian music on the map. She surely did that, achieving such breakthroughs as being the first Contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit #1 pop and the first to perform at the Grammys. Yet perhaps her greatest accomplishment was to open the door for a flood of other artists in pop as well as rock to sing about faith and soul and family and still grasp stardom. With that, her legacy as one of the most influential artists of the past couple of decades is assured.

Need to Breathe
"We're from a small town in South Carolina called Possum Kingdom," NEEDTOBREATHE frontman Bear Rinehart explains when asked about the place he and his younger brother/co-writer Bo were raised. "Trust me - there was absolutely no music scene there."
And, though he makes light of it, the relative isolation that came with growing up in such an environment must have played some part in fostering the independent-minded approach the Rinehart boys would later bring to their band. In this way, it makes perfect sense that NEEDTOBREATHE's third album is called The Outsiders' and listening to the anthemic title track that opens the 14-song collection, it's clear that they embrace this label as both a badge of honor and a battle cry.

Avalon
“Our personal lives are meshing with our professional lives,” says Jody. “We bought a bus, and we bring the kids on the road. We want to keep doing this for as long as God will give us the grace. We felt that maybe it was just time for us to fold up and quit several years ago when we’d gone through some different circumstances, but God said, ‘No, I’m not done yet.’”

Delirious?
“We are in this age - 13 years into the band - where these are questions we all talk about when we get off stage. The footnotes of all the conversations are ‘We love what we do, but there’s gotta be more.’ We want to make a change,” answers frontman Martin Smith. “Surely, this whole God thing is not just for putting Christian records out. Surely God has called us to higher things. I think it’s using the thing that God has given us to make a difference, whether small or large.”

Jars of Clay
"I think there are more lyrics in that one song than there were on our entire last record," Haseltine says of Oh My God. "People all have their reasons for crying out to God. Some of those are really deep, deep doubts, and one of the questions in that third verse where it asks whether Jesus is real or not. Growing up in the church, I was scared to death to ask that question, because I didn't know whether the Gospel could stand up to the scrutiny. There are times when I wrestle with that even now, but it's a question that needs to be asked."

The Jonas Brothers
Ask the Jonas Brothers who they’re hoping to turn into fans with their new self-titled CD and they won’t say “everybody.” But that’s precisely what they’ll mean. “We’re aiming for people our age,” says 17-year-old Joe. “But we also wanna get kids younger than us,” adds 14-year-old Nick. “And older people, too,” 19-year-old Kevin pipes up.

MercyMe
“We ultimately said, ‘Let’s just make a record that comes out of our hearts,’” Millard says. “Among the six of us, we love all kinds of different music, but the more worshipful moments in any song always lead to our favorite moments on stage.”

Don Moen
Don has written over 100 worship songs. Some of his most well known songs are “God Will Make A Way,” “God is Good All the Time,” and “Blessed Be the Name of the Lord.” He’s also the only recording artist in the Christian community who is also the head of a major record label. “Balancing my different roles is probably the hardest thing I do. I couldn’t do this without a lot of talented people around me,” says Don. “I think I have a unique perspective because I am still writing songs and touring. It’s about getting everyone to use their best gifts, including me.”

Twila Paris
“When God calls us to do something, even if we enter a new season in our lives, He finds a way to enable us. Yes, it’s a challenge, but it’s clear what God is doing, where He’s leading and what He’s enabling me to do,” Twila says.

Petra
The term “legend” can be used in an array of circumstances, tagged to the world’s most notable places or associated with an illustrious list of people. When it comes to the history of Christian rock and roll, perhaps no band is more synonymous with the word than Petra. The band is one of the genre’s seminal starters, and it has left an indelible impact across multiple generations.

Randy Travis (Country)
By age 17, after winning a local talent contest, he became a regular act at the Charlotte, N.C. honky-tonk, County City USA. At age 22, he moved to Nashville and became a regular act at The Nashville Palace nightclub, where he also worked as a cook. After four more years of being turned-down by every label in Nashville, Randy was finally signed to Warner Bros. Records in 1985 and released his first major label album, Storms of Life in 1986. Today Randy has become one of the most successful recording and touring artists in the history of country music.

Zoro the Drummer
Zoro says, “I went to one of these vacation Bible school places and heard all the different sermons. They said, ‘Do you want to give your life to Jesus?’ Man, I just felt the presence of God, and I just went up there bawling and weeping.”
In high school Zoro saved up money to buy a used drum set. He threw himself into music and found his purpose.
“When I play the drums, I’m always grooving and I’m grooving for the Lord,” he says.
