Band Biographies

ADAM: The forefront of the band lead vocalist and guitarist, Adam Dalton, 22 years old.

I have been playing guitar since I was 15 and have been singing since I could talk. I never really dreamed of being in a band but God had other plans for my life. I started playing guitar on a little silvertone from Sears my brother-in-law left at my house, then graduated on to an acoustic. I finally got my electric and thought I was the coolest thing until I heard some other people then I realized I needed to practice. I have taught myself how to play guitar through books and watching other people. I really don't have a clue of how to put it to terms what I am doing on the guitar but neither did Jimi Hendrix. I was influenced by my brother on style of music falling asleep to Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and other heavy metal groups. My father was a pastor, so it kept my thoughts on the right paths. My goal as a band member is to bring Jesus to people through music that people can relate to. I know there is not a whole lot of heavy Christian bands out but I hope that our music will sustain with the rest. I don't want to be labeled a Christian band but I want to be labeled a vessel for Jesus, because without him I am nothing.

TRAVIS: Backup vocalist and rhythm guitarist Travis Bishop, 21 years old.

I am currently living in Floyd, Virginia. Influenced by my father, I started playing the guitar when I was eight years old. Later in life I felt a deep calling to play for God, in a way that would reach young people. When 24seven was formed I felt like this was what I was supposed to do, something I believe in something that pleases God.

PHILLIP: The beat behind the crunching melodies, Phillip Tingler, 20 years old, specializing in driving rhythms and pounding double bass attack.

Residing in Vinton, Virginia, I've been playing drums going on almost 10 years now. My interest with drums though, started way before that. My father was in a band in the 80's called Praise Hymn, he played the drums. Ever since I was 3 or 4 years old, I remember sitting and listening to him play, I was hooked. I would go around with whatever I could find stick or TV remote, and play drums on things around the house (coffee tables, sofas, chairs, etc.). Finally, at the age of 11 my father let me start on his drum kit that was previously owned by Buddy Rich. I started playing and developing with (believe it or not) country music, then graduated to modern rock and finally went all the way, playing and practicing to Metallica. But I never would have been here without the help of God, being born premature, weighing just a pound, 15 ounces and having cerebral palsy on the right side of my body, God has healed me and given me the talent and ability to play for his glory.

JOHN: The bass man, John Ousley, 23 years old.

I've been playing the bass since I was about 9 years old. God gave me a wonderful gift, a gift lot of people wish they had. Sometimes I take it for granted. Sometimes I'm even lazy with it, but God is now giving me the strength to develop my playing abilities more. I'm taking all He gave me and using it for His will. No less. God deserves more than that. I can't give Him all He deserves, no one can. But I will give Him my best. Love and peace out.
