He's been releasing music since 1993 and has sold almost 30 million albums, but he isn't done yet -- It's Chris Tomlin


Born in Sydney, now living in Nashville, related to Rebecca St. James (sister) and Moriah Peters (Joel's wife), they only released their first album 3 years ago, and already are blessed with awards to their name -- It's For King and Country
