Casting Crowns is a very successful CCM band. Who Am I was their first CCM #1 hit in 2004 and they are still going strong today. Who Am I is probably their signature song. Casting Crowns was formed in 1999 at First Baptist Church in Daytona Beach, FL by youth pastor Mark Hall. He is the lead singer and main songwriter. Other members were Juan DeVevo and Hector Cervantes on guitar and DeVevo's wife Melodee DeVevo on violin. They moved to Stockbridge, GA and added Chris Huffman on bass, Megan Garrett on keyboards and Andy Williams on drums. After releasing two independent albums, they signed with a new label Beach Street Records owned by Sawyer Brown lead singer Mark Miller with distribution by the CCM label Reunion. Miller brought in Steven Curtis Chapman to help him produce the 2003 debut album Casting Crowns. Who Am I topped the CCM charts. The album was certified 2XPlatinum. It's their best selling album to date. Though Casting Crowns have slowed down in recent years, they were very successful for several years winning several Dove awards. This comp has all their hits. Williams was replaced by Brian Scoggin in 2009. Cervantes was replaced by Josh Mix in 2013. Casting Crowns' latest album Only Jesus was released in 2018.
