ABOUT TOBYMAC
With more than 16 million career units sold, over four billion global streams and an impressive seven GRAMMY® Awards, TobyMac’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down. His 2022 album LIFE AFTER DEATH debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Christian Albums chart, earned TobyMac his 17th GRAMMY® nomination and has accumulated more than 548 million global streams. The album was also named Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year at the 54th Annual GMA Dove Awards.
LIFE AFTER DEATH produced an extraordinary five No. 1 singles: “The Goodness (feat. Blessing Offor),” whose music video won the Dove Award for Short Form Music Video of the Year; “Help Is On The Way (Maybe Midnight),” which reached No. 1 across five charts; “Promised Land”; “Cornerstone (feat. Zach Williams)” and “Faithfully,” with the latter two holding the top position for ten consecutive weeks. The project followed his 2015 RIAA Certified Gold studio album THIS IS NOT A TEST, which earned a GRAMMY® Award and a Billboard Music Award nomination and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. Each of TobyMac’s six solo studio albums has achieved RIAA Gold certification — a first for any artist in the history of his label, Capitol Christian Music Group. Among those releases is 2012’s EYE ON IT, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, becoming only the third Christian album ever to accomplish that feat. His 2019 GRAMMY-nominated album THE ELEMENTS featured fan favorites including “Everything,” “Scars,” “Edge of My Seat” and “See The Light,” along with the chart-topping, RIAA Gold-certified single “I just need U.”
In 2025, TobyMac returned with brand-new music on his ninth studio album, HEAVEN ON MY MIND. The project produced two more No. 1 hits with “Nothin’ Sweeter” and its title track, marking eight consecutive No. 1 singles in a row.
ABOUT JEREMY CAMP
Between 2002 and 2025, Jeremy has released 12 albums, five of them RIAA-certified as Gold. He has sold over six million albums with 45 No. 1 singles across all formats. His music has earned him numerous awards and nominations across the Christian and secular music industries, including five GMA Dove Awards, Grammy nomination, three American Music Award nominations and four ASCAP Songwriter of the Year Awards. Camp was named Billboard’s No. 2 Christian artist of the decade as well. Outside of music, in 2020 Jeremy had an international theatrical movie release called “I Still Believe” which hit No. 1 in the box office opening weekend. The film depicted his life story of love and loss of his first wife after a battle with cancer. Camp has always written songs about his experiences and continues to write from the deep places of his heart.
ABOUT SEPH SCHLUETER
Seph Schlueter (pronounced “shleeter”) is a breakout voice in Christian music driven by a passion to awaken hearts, lead others into an encounter with Jesus, and give language to a relationship with God through his songs. Before signing with Provident Entertainment in 2023, he built a grassroots following through independent releases, opening for artists like Brandon Lake and Phil Wickham, and founding Damascus Worship to serve a growing movement of worship within the Catholic Church. His debut project, Counting My Blessings, introduced his signature blend of organic pop and worship, led by the title track that has become a global anthem, generating over 1.2 billion short-form video views, five million creations, more than 329.91 million global streams and contributing to over 730.15 million total career streams, while also topping all four Christian radio charts. In a historic start, Seph became the first artist in decades to earn three consecutive No. 1 singles at Christian radio, earning him multiple Dove Award nominations, a Billboard Music Award nomination, Christian Music Broadcasters’ Breakout Artist of the Year honors and a K-LOVE Fan Award for Breakout Single of the Year, solidifying his place as one of the genre’s fastest-rising artists.
ABOUT KATY NICHOLE
RIAA Platinum®-selling, Dove Award-winning Katy Nichole sings straight from her heart, holding nothing back. Her thoughts and emotions flow freely without filter on her acclaimed, Centricity Music sophomore album Honest Conversations as she fearlessly grapples with her insecurities, stares down anxiety and shares her dreams out loud. This honesty has consistently struck a chord with music fans worldwide, cementing her as a phenomenon with hundreds of millions of streams, major awards, No. 1 radio hits and wide critical praise. Nichole launched into the international music scene with her debut album in 2023, Jesus Changed My Life, which featured the No. 1 radio hits RIAA Platinum® “In Jesus Name (God of Possible),” Recording Academy-highlighted “Hold On” and “God Is In This Story.” She also received an American Music Award nomination, was named the Gospel Music Association’s New Artist of the Year (2023) and received a K-LOVE Fan Award. She was further named a Billboard Chartbreaker and performed twice on the Grand Ole Opry. Nichole’s remarkable journey continues following the release of her acclaimed sophomore album, Honest Conversations, which sparked this artist’s prayerful song of surrender and fourth No. 1 at radio, “Have Your Way” and her Top 5 hit, “When I Fall.” Undergoing intensive back surgery twice in her teens while simultaneously battling with the mental health implications, Nichole leans on music and faith through it all. Ultimately, her message is a reminder that everything is going to be alright:
“This is my life experience. Until I die, I’ll constantly be healing. However, I’m going to find so much beauty in this life through that.”
