In the world of spiritual music, there might not be a bigger name than Chris Tomlin. Few Christian singers can match what he’s done in terms of selling millions of albums and his music being played in countless churches across the country. The guy has even won a Grammy award and is one of the few contemporary Christian music musicians to have an album debut at the top of the Billboard 200 charts. However, no matter how many times you hear his songs in a spiritual place, there’s nothing quite like seeing Tomlin perform live. In fact, every place that Tomlin performs turns into a spiritual place, making his concerts an experience that all lovers of Christian music should experience at some point.

Born for This

From a young age, it was obvious that Tomlin was meant to be a spiritual singer and a spiritual leader. He started playing guitar at a young age while listening to Willie Nelson and started writing Christian songs when he was just 14. Soon after that, Tomlin also started to serve as a worship leader, a path he continued to follow throughout high school and college. At the same time, music was also a big part of Tomlin. After getting out of college, he released a few independent albums before finally catching his big break. That got Tomlin started on his path of selling millions of albums and headlining tours.

The Dove King

In addition to a couple of Billboard Music Awards and winning a Grammy in 2012 for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album, Tomlin has become a fixture at the Dove Awards that honor the Christian music industry every year. He won the Dove Award for Praise & Worship Album of the Year in 2005. Ever since, there has rarely been a year in which Tomlin wasn’t at least nominated for a Dove Award. His huge repertoire of songs and his collaboration with other artists have made him a prominent figure in the Christian music world and a performer that all fans of the genre should see perform in person.
