He was awarded Male Vocalist at the [[Dove Awards of 2006|2006]] and [[GMA Dove Awards of 2007|2007]] Gospel Music Awards, and was named Artist of the Year in 2007.


TIME magazine heralded Chris Tomlin as the “most often sung artist in the world” <ref>{{cite web | url=https://time.com/archive/6596750/hip-hymns-are-him/ | title=Hip Hymns Are Him | date=November 19, 2006 }}</ref> as his music has inspired and uplifted an entire generation of believers.

Tomlin received his first guitar from his father, Connie, at the age of eleven after contracting a case of [[infectious mononucleosis|mono]]<ref> Tyler Paper [http://www.tylerpaper.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070602/RELIGION/706010337 Superstar's homecoming brings memories, praise] </ref>. Then, Tomlin wrote his first worship song at age fourteen. He entered college planning to study medicine, but he felt [[God]]'s calling to something else and did not pursue that career.
In the mid-1990's Tomlin spent time leading worship at the [[Dawson McAllister]] Youth Conferences, as well as at various camps around the state of [[Texas]].
Following college, at [[Texas A&M University]] Tomlin continued to play and write songs, and in 1997, [[Louie Giglio]] asked if he would be interested in working with the [[Passion Conferences]]. Tomlin agreed, and he has played a key role ever since. His first nationally released solo project, entitled ''The Noise We Make'', was released in 2001, which saw the emergence of songs "Forever" (his most famous song other than "How Great is our God"), "Be Glorified", and "Kindness", all of which made the top 200 in the CCLI 2005 top 500 worship songs<ref> [http://www.christomlin.com/Chris Tomlin's official Site]</ref>. Since then, he has released many more studio albums, most notably ''[[Arriving]]'', which is considered his breakout album, since it produced four number one hits ("Indescribable", "Holy is the Lord," "How Great is our God," and "The Way I Was Made"), and two other songs ("On Our Side" and "Mighty is the Power of the Cross", written with Shawn Craig of [[Phillips, Craig, and Dean]]) which landed in the 2005 top five hundred worship songs according to [[Christian Copyright Licensing International]]<ref> [http://www.christomlin.com/Chris Tomlin's official Site]</ref>. His last, ''See the Morning'', has been nominated for two [[Grammy Award]]s <ref> [http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/bio/index.jsp?pid=425053&cr=artist&or=ASCENDING&sf=length&kw=Chris%20Tomlin Chris Tomlin's Biography at Billboard.com] </ref> and has helped him win 6 [[Dove Award]]s in 2007, including a second consecutive "Artist of the Year" win<ref name="Dove"/>.


==Early life==
Although a solo artist, Tomlin travels around with a consistent band lineup. His band, in which he performs [[vocal]]s, [[Steel-string guitar|acoustic guitar]], and [[piano]], consists of Daniel Carson ([[electric guitar]], [[backing vocalist|backup vocals]]), Jesse Reeves ([[bass guitar]], [[harmonica]], backup vocals, co-songwriter), and Travis Nunn ([[drums]], [[music loop|loop]]s). The latter replaced Joey Parrish as drummer in 2004. Although not considered an "official" band member, Matt Gilder regularly plays the keys for Tomlin. Tomlin and the band developed while working with the Harvest Ministry at The Woodlands United Methodist Church in [[The Woodlands, Texas|The Woodlands]], [[Texas]] in the late 1990's. <ref> [http://www.christomlin.com/PDFs/CCM_10.06_TomlinFeature.pdf/ Article in CCM Magazine] </ref>

It is the name of his brand-new album, and the title track is one he considers the eternal, everlasting song. “Hebrews 13:8 says, ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever,’ and that's really the heart of this song. I love how it speaks to the miracles that we’ve read of Jesus when he walked this earth,” Tomlin says. “Our faith is not a faith that’s just 30 minutes old, or the faith of just our parents, but it’s generations before us and generations after us. It’s a long line of those who’ve run the race.”


The album's “Holy Forever” is the one that Tomlin considers the anchor of this anthology. “It’s a song that sounds like Heaven to me. It has this transcendence about it.” For him, worship music usually has two distinct lanes—song of transcendence, and songs of deliverance and rescue. “This one takes you into the spiritual realm. It takes you into a place of worship where your spirit’s connecting to something eternal.”
'''Song''' - [[Billboard magazine|Billboard]] (North America)


This time around, his featured guests on Always include [[Elevation Worship]], [[Brandon Lake (musician)|Brandon Lake]], and [[Steffany Gretzinger]]. And because many hands make light work, Tomlin brought in a team of producers for Always, including [[Ben Glover]], Bryan Fowler, [[Ed Cash]], Jeff Sojka, Jonathan Smith and [[Lady A]]’s [[Dave Haywood]].<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.christomlin.com/blogs/news/new-music-holy-forever-off-new-worship-project | title=NEW MUSIC: "Holy Forever" off New Worship Project &#124; News }}</ref>

Christopher Dwayne Tomlin (born May 4, 1972)[1] is an American contemporary Christian music singer, songwriter, and worship leader from Grand Saline, Texas.[2] He is signed to Universal's Capitol Christian Music Group. Some of his most well-known songs are "How Great Is Our God", "Our God", "Whom Shall I Fear (God of Angel Armies)" and "Holy Forever".

TIME magazine heralded Chris Tomlin as the “most often sung artist in the world” [3] as his music has inspired and uplifted an entire generation of believers. Along the way, Chris has scored 21 number-one radio singles, 30 top-ten hits (more than any other Christian artist), and spent a total of 158+ weeks at number-one during his career. He's sold more than 12 million albums with more than 7 Billion career global streams, won a Grammy, three Billboard Music Awards, 31 GMA Dove Awards, became a two-time BMI Songwriter of the Year honoree and an ASCAP Songwriter of the Year. In 2016, he was named one of only four artists ever to receive the Sound Exchange Digital Radio Award for over 1 billion digital radio streams, alongside Justin Timberlake, Pitbull, and Garth Brooks. Chris is also the first Christian artist to reach the billion streams threshold on Pandora and was presented with their BILLIONAIRE award. As one of the most successful Christian touring artists today, Chris has sold-out venues everywhere including New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, Denver's Red Rocks Amphitheatre, and LA’s Banc of California Stadium. His “Good Friday Nashville” concerts continue to sell out year after year and the event holds the record as the longest running annual charity related concert at Bridgestone Arena.[4]

Early life

At the age of 13, he began singing at the Main Street Baptist church in Grand Saline.[5] Tomlin wrote his first worship song at age fourteen. During high school, he learned to lead worship in his youth group.[6] After graduating from Grand Saline High School in 1990, he entered Tyler Junior College (TJC) planning for a medical or physical therapy career.[7] Tomlin graduated in 1992[8] and enrolled in Texas A&M University to study medicine.[9] He grew active in a campus Christian group called Breakaway, where he became the worship leader.[9] In 1994, Tomlin graduated from Texas A&M with a bachelor's degree in psychology.[8][10] After college Tomlin participated as a worship leader at various camps in Texas, including Dawson McAllister Youth Conferences.[11] While at Breakaway, Tomlin participated in a Bible study led by Choice Ministries founder Louie Giglio.[9] In 1997, Tomlin partnered with Giglio to found Passion Conferences.[12][13]

Career

[edit]

In 1995, Tomlin released Inside Your Love, which was released independently.[14] In 1998, he released Authentic on Sparrow Records.[15]

In 2000, Tomlin signed onto newly founded sixstepsrecords, a subsidiary of Passion Conferences.[16] His first nationally released solo project, titled The Noise We Make, was released in 2001, featuring the song "Forever". He released the live EP 545 and his second studio album Not to Us in 2002.[17]

Since his signing onto sixstepsrecords, Tomlin has released nine full-length studio albums. 2004's Arriving was the first to chart on Billboard's Hot Christian Albums chart and the Billboard 200. Tomlin has topped the Hot Christian Albums chart six times, and his 2013 album Burning Lights topped the Billboard 200, making the album only the fourth contemporary Christian album to do so.

Tomlin has also released one live album, recorded in Austin Music Hall, and two Christmas albums (2009, 2015),[18] both of which topped the Holiday albums chart on Billboard.[19]

Tomlin has toured with many contemporary Christian artists, such as Delirious?, Steven Curtis Chapman, Michael W. Smith, and MercyMe.[20][21] Tomlin has headlined several tours, and has also joined Passion Conferences for national and global tours and events.[22] Tomlin has also participated in various other conferences festivals including Grand Saline's annual Salt Festival in Texas,[23] Hillsong's 2007 conference,[24] and the SoCal Harvest in Anaheim.[25]

On June 14, 2007, Tomlin's version of the song "Indescribable" was used as the official wake-up call for Mission Specialist Patrick Forrester on Space Shuttle mission STS-117.[26] Chris Tomlin left Sixstepsrecords in 2015 and quickly signed to Capitol Records CMG and River Music Holdings in 2016[27]

Always (2022)

[edit]

It is the name of his brand-new album, and the title track is one he considers the eternal, everlasting song. “Hebrews 13:8 says, ‘Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever,’ and that's really the heart of this song. I love how it speaks to the miracles that we’ve read of Jesus when he walked this earth,” Tomlin says. “Our faith is not a faith that’s just 30 minutes old, or the faith of just our parents, but it’s generations before us and generations after us. It’s a long line of those who’ve run the race.”

The album's “Holy Forever” is the one that Tomlin considers the anchor of this anthology. “It’s a song that sounds like Heaven to me. It has this transcendence about it.” For him, worship music usually has two distinct lanes—song of transcendence, and songs of deliverance and rescue. “This one takes you into the spiritual realm. It takes you into a place of worship where your spirit’s connecting to something eternal.”

This time around, his featured guests on Always include Elevation Worship, Brandon Lake, and Steffany Gretzinger. And because many hands make light work, Tomlin brought in a team of producers for Always, including Ben Glover, Bryan Fowler, Ed Cash, Jeff Sojka, Jonathan Smith and Lady A’s Dave Haywood.[34]
