Ken Tamplin (born December 11, 1963) is an American vocal coach, YouTuber, and former Christian rock musician.

Early years

Tamplin began playing guitar at age six and singing at age nine. Despite being raised in a Christian home, he was not openly Christian until some time before he began his musical career.[1]

Career

Tamplin is one of the founding members of the group Shout, along with Chuck King. He is also the winner of four GMA Dove Awards, including Hard Music Album of the Year at the 25th GMA Dove Awards in 1994, for his album Tamplin; and received 12 nominations.[2][3]

In 2001, Tamplin produced the album Make Me Your Voice, featuring gospel singer Andraé Crouch, to help raise funds for Christian groups working in Sudan.[3]

Personal life

Tamplin is married and has two children.[2][4] He also has a brother, Lance, who is a pastor; and with whom he started Living Stones Fellowship in 2001,[4] which was based at the La Tierra Elementary school in Mission Viejo—where he served as a worship director.[5]

He is a cousin to former Van Halen frontman Sammy Hagar.[6] Hagar said of Tamplin in an interview: "I've only met him once. But you know, he sends me his records and all that stuff."[6]

Tamplin was a resident of Costa Mesa, California;[3] and co-owned Music Painter Studios with Robert Hart, located at the nearby Santa Ana Heights.[7] He currently lives with his wife in Flagstaff, Arizona.[2] His Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy and studio are based in Sedona.[8]
