Steven Curtis Chapman

Steven Curtis Chapman (born November 21, 1962 in Paducah, Kentucky, U.S.) is a Singer, Songwriter, Record Producer, and Actor. After starting his career in the late 1980s as a songwriter, Chapman has turned into one of the most prolific singers in the genre, releasing more than 20 albums to this date. Chapman has also won five Grammy awards and 56 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards, more than any other artist in history. His seven "Artist of the Year" Dove Awards, his latest in 2009, are also an industry record. As of 2007, Chapman has sold more than 10 million albums and has 9 RIAA-certified Gold or Platinum albums.

Upon finishing high school, Chapman enrolled as a pre-med student at Georgetown College in Kentucky. After a couple of semesters he transferred to Anderson College in Indiana. However, he soon dropped out and went to Nashville to pursue a career in music. While in Nashville he briefly attended Belmont University. He began working a music show at Opryland USA while dedicating time to songwriting.

In the 1980s, Chapman wrote a song called "Built to Last," which was recorded by prominent gospel group, The Imperials. The strength of the song prompted him to be signed to a songwriting deal with Sparrow Records, where he rose to prominence. As of 2007, artists like Sandi Patty, Billy Dean, Glen Campbell, and Roger Whittaker have recorded Chapman's songs.

Chapman is also a vocal advocate for adoption, along with his wife Mary Beth. Together, they have started a charity organization called Show Hope (formerly called Shaohannah's Hope), that mobilizes individuals and communities to care for orphans through its international orphan care work as well as adoption aid grants to help put more orphans from overseas and the U.S. in loving, forever families. In 2009, Show Hope finished building Maria's Big House of Hope, a medical care center in China that provides holistic care to orphans with special needs. He is also a contributor to Compassionart, a charity founded by Martin Smith of British rock band Delirious?.

Chapman was recognized in the Fall 2010 (Volume 65) issue of Wood & Steel discussing the new Taylor 714 Signature Series guitar in honor of Maria. The guitar features the flower from Maria's picture and the word "SEE" on the 12th fret (in Maria's Handwriting). He is best friends with fellow Christian Singer Geoff Moore. In 2003 Steven Curtis Chapman starred in Christmas Child and he played the role of Reverend Michael Curtis.

Steven Curtis Chapman garners 47th No. 1 hit with "Christmas Time Again"
December 14, 2012

Nashville, Tenn. - Steven Curtis Chapman has garnered his 47th career No. 1 radio single with “Christmas Time Again,” an original song from his fourth and latest Christmas project, JOY. The track is an upbeat and fun, original piece, on an album that showcases several new songs by Steven as well as new recordings of traditional favorites. The song received further attention this week, airing on SiriusXM Radio’s The Message “Eye to Eye” Christmas special. In addition, Steven’s performance of the song will be featured on the Christian Broadcasting Network’s “The 700 Club,” Christmas day.

“Christmas Time Again” now tops the Billboard AC Monitored chart, a high honor given the yearly influx of new Christmas singles at Christian radio. Further, it is the first Christmas song to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Christian AC Monitored chart in two years, no doubt due to its vintage charm and resonant message.

“I'm really, really grateful to radio for their continued support of me. It's truly humbling. And it’s so much fun to see this song go No. 1,” says Chapman. “Caleb Chapman had a key idea for the song in a silly and fun video he did for his now wife Julia. One clever little line grew into the musical party that "Christmas Time Again" became. It's fun to have fun with music again! God has been merciful and gracious to us, and the Chapmans are wishing you a Merry Christmas.”

“‘Christmas Time Again’ puts the fun back in Christmas. A natural fit for the season,” states Keith Stevens (Program Director KTIS/Minneapolis).

“Christmas Time Again” aired this afternoon on SiriusXM Radio’s The Message “Eye to Eye” Christmas special and will re-air through Christmas. Hosted by friend and labelmate Michael W. Smith, the hour-long program features an interview with Chapman as well as an in-studio performance of “Christmas Time Again,” among other songs from JOY. Visit https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=4582908447536 for a sneak preview of the event recorded last month in front of a live audience.

Also, fans can tune in to CBN on Dec. 20 to watch Chapman play “Christmas Time Again” on “The 700 Club.” His performance will re-air the following week on the program’s Christmas day show. Check www.cbn.com for local air times and listings.

February 17, 2012

With 46 No. 1 singles, including "Do Everything," which topped charts last month; 56 GMA Dove Awards; five GRAMMY awards; and more than 200 songs recorded on 17 original albums spread across an illustrious 25-year career, Steven Curtis Chapman has already amassed a collection of songs worth celebrating.

Since his first national recording, First Hand, Chapman has become one of the most beloved artists in all of popular music. This year on his website, StevenCurtisChapman.com, he revisits some of his favorite tracks with a video series called Twenty Five, featuring acoustic performances of some of Chapman’s most popular songs and the stories behind them. Every other Thursday in 2012, a new acoustic, one-take, raw performance of one of Chapman’s songs will be debuted, each one only available to view for only 25 days. To check out Twenty Five, visit stevencurtischapman.com/scc25.

In addition, Sparrow Records is releasing a new Chapman greatest-hits package, #1’s Vol. 1. Available on April 3, the album features 13 of his biggest songs, each of which charted at No. 1, and features the career-defining songs “Dive,” “The Great Adventure,” “I Will Be Here” and more. Would you believe more than 15 years have gone by since his previous greatest-hits album released? Many of Chapman’s biggest songs and albums have never been represented on a greatest-hits collection.

In November, Chapman wrapped his first "Songs & Stories" tour with friends Andrew Peterson and Josh Wilson. After performing in front of sold-out crowds across the country, the Show HOPE-sponsored tour continued to be in high demand and, as a result, Chapman announced a spring leg of the intimate tour.

The spring leg of the “Songs & Stories” tour launches on Feb. 2 in Broken Arrow, Okla., with Peterson and Wilson supporting. After visiting markets including Cleveland, Nashville and Tampa, among others, the tour will wrap on Mar. 11 in Ocala, Fla. During this uniquely formatted writer’s night, 47 instruments are integrated into the show, and true collaboration dominates the night with Peterson, Wilson and Chapman all playing and singing on each other's songs. Chapman performs songs from his latest album re:creation and more, including his most recent No. 1, “Do Everything,” for which he collected his 16th career GRAMMY nomination. Chapman also opens up about the stories that inspired him to write the songs that have impacted lives around the world.
