Kutless Biography
The Christian rock band Kutless released its self-titled debut on BEC recordings in 2002. The members, who had all gone to church together in Portland, Oregon, had been together since 1999. The road they've traveled in the eight years since has been long, but it's been pretty impressive too.

Kutless played 220 shows their first year to almost 200,000 people, showing the world that they were serious about getting God's music on stage. Being the "Best selling new artist of 2002" was a direct result of that, while being a huge feat because they did it in just six months since their debut album was a mid-year record release. Having three number one R&R Rock singles is another pretty big deal. One top 5 CHR single that unexpectedly became the longest charting song in the history of the R&R CHR chart.

Eight years later the band is more seasoned, but still as passionate as ever. In the time that we've known and loved Kutless, they've released four studio albums and one live album. They've played hundreds of shows in several countries to over 1.6 million fans. Not bad for a band who started out on the national scene with no track record at all!

Christian Artist Profile: Carman
Carman was born in New Jersey to a loving Italian family. As a boy, he played the drums and the guitar, and he began singing in his teenage years. As his career developed, Carman played clubs then went on to Las Vegas. It was after seeing an Andrae Crouch concert that Carman gave his life to Jesus Christ. After five years of preparation and prayer, he moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he began to build his ministry headquarters for a worldwide outreach.

Carman established "Carman Ministries," a non-profit organization that touches the lives of millions of people all over the world.

Todd Agnew Bio:
From the first time you meet Todd Agnew, you'll realize that he's a T-shirt and jeans kind of guy - no bells, no whistles, no trying to be something that you're not. He's humble and he doesn't make any bones about why he sings and writes music: for Jesus.

Born in March 1971, Todd's adoption, as well as his obvious American Indian heritage, has been well documented. He grew up in a Christian home with parents who supported his desire to share God through music.

Todd didn't set out to be a "star." In fact, his signing with Ardent didn't come the "normal" way. He just wanted to use their studio but Dana Key had other plans after hearing Todd's voice. "Walking by where Todd was recording, I found myself stopping and listening to his music," says Dana. "It wasn't long before I wanted to get involved. Similarly, whenever I play some of Todd's music for people, it has the same effect of stopping them in their tracks. His music is definitely not background material-it's music that demands attention."
Three albums later, Todd hasn't changed. He's still wearing t-shirts, jeans and avoiding shoes when ever possible and he's still in it for one reason: Jesus.

Chris Rice Biography:
Chris Rice grew up in Maryland as the second of four sons to bookstore owners. As a teen he took three years of piano lessons, but his dream wasn't to go into a career in music. While earning a a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology and Communication, he started leading retreats and youth camps in his church youth group. It was such a natural fit that he found himself moving in that direction on a more permanent basis.
In 1996 Chris was signed to Rocketown Records due to his skill as a lyricist, but his musical abilities soon came to light and in '97 he released his debut project, Deep Enough to Dream. Chris released seven more albums under the Rocketwon umbrella before leaving in 2005. '05 saw him move to Eb+Flo / INO Records, where he released Amusing later that year.

One Quick And Easy Way To Create Your Own Product
Internet marketing is based on someone selling a product. Unless you are an affiliate marketer selling other marketer's products, you must sell a product yourself. If you want to sell your own product, the problem becomes how to create your own product.

Creating your own product seems like a tremendous task. Product creation is what holds some would be online marketers back from getting started. Product creation can actually be much easier than you think. Here, I am going to outline a very simple way to create your own product.

A very easy way to create a product is to do some interviews. Not only is this easy, but it also underlines the fact that you don't have to be an expert in the field you are creating a product for, you just need to be able to find the experts.

Giving My Best
Giving My Best, known as GMB, is a Christian Indonesian Band, consisting of six people. Their first album released at the 1996 titled Kub’ri Yang Terbaik. The newest album released 2007 is Life Is Calling.

taken from myspace

In 1996, a group of young musicians and singers gathered for a project tentatively called ..Youth Ministry... The project was to make a live recording concert for the youth of Indonesia. During that period, there were no youth ministry events happening in Indonesia and this group of young people felt the hunger and need to give their best to the Lord through their talents.

In April 1996, with the then ..unknown.. worship leader, Sidney Mohede, Keyboardist Pongky Prasetyo, Joseph Djafar, Darana, bassist Rensis Wenas, drummer Amos Cahyadi, percussionist Adi Prasodjo, other top musicians and no less than 18 (!!) backing vocals (including Jeffry S. Tjandra, Viona Paays, Sammy Mandik and Farah Pattisalamauw who are some of the best worshippers in Indonesia) joined together for a historical live recording concert at the Red Top Hotel in Jakarta, entitled ..Giving My Best.. (Kuberi Yang Terbaik). And as writers often said,.... and the rest is history... Their first album become one of the best selling praise and worship album in Indonesia..s history.

Though they never had a name other than calling themselves ..a youth ministry.. at the time, fans of the album began calling these group of young people ..GMB or ..Giving My Best.. (taken from the name of the album), an after a while the name stuck, and so GMB .. Giving My Best .. was born.

Over the years, what started as a young people..s music movement took a different direction as God began to filter the personnel of GMB. One by bone, some of the original musicians began to pursue other ministries and become some of today..s top music producers and arrangers. Sidney, Pongky, Amos dan Adi remained faithful to GMB..s vision and mission and began recruiting talented musicians such as Daniel Sigarlaki (guitar) and Jeffry Hermanto (bass). GMB also collaborated with some of the nation..s inspiring musicians such as Dewa Budjana (Gigi) Hendry Lamiri (violinist) and DJ. Tius (Saint Loco).

In 2006, GMB will be celebrating their 10th Year together as a band, with seven albums (and more in 2005 and 2006). In the last 10 years, their ministry and music have taken them to lead worshippers in Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States to worship God with passion and power. Just as the title of their album declare, truly ..Nothing is Ever Impossible.. through God who is living in GMB..s heart, music and ministry, the best is yet to come!!
