Artist:Jeremy Camp
Song:Overcome
Album:I Still Believe: The Greatest Hits
Singer songwriter Jeremy Camp has had a string of CCM hits over the last 20 years. He is not to be confused with CCM artist Steve Camp and they are not related. Jeremy Camp was born Jan. 12, 1978 in Lafayette, In. His father was pastor at Harvest Chapel Church. While attending bible college in California, Camp got interested in music influenced by U2, Delirious? and Jars of Clay. He got involved with the school's music ministry and toured California. He met and married Melissa Lynn Henning. But soon after they were married, she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and she died on Feb. 5, 2001 at age 21. And that's when Camp got into music seriously. He wanted to use his grief to minister to others. Then he met and married former Benjamin's Gate lead singer Annette Liesching. They married in 2003 and Camp signed with BEC Recordings. Camp has been going strong ever since. He has won five Dove awards and has been Grammy nominated. Overcome is from the 2010 album We Cry Out: The Worship Project produced by Brown Bannister. The song reached #2 on the CCM Singles chart. Though Camp writes his own songs, Overcome was written by Jon Egan of the CCM group Desperation Band. When Camp started his own production company in 2015, he was moved to the Sparrow Records roster which is owned by EMI. BEC is distributed by EMI. There is a difference but Camp is still in the EMI family. Sparrow released this comp CD in 2020. It's a good intro to his music. His latest album The Worship Project recorded with his wife Adrienne was released Sept. 2020. Here's the video for Overcome by Jeremy Camp.
