dc Talk formed at Liberty University, a school with a reputation for funneling student-musicians into the Contemporary Christian Music scene. One of the these students is Hector Cervantes who was one of the founding members of and lead guitarist for Casting Crowns. Other members included founder, lead singer, and songwriter Mark Hall, guitarist Juan DeVevo, and violinist Melodee DeVevo. The band started as a youth worship band in Daytona Beach then moved to Stockbridge, Georgia where Mark Hall and the rest of the band members took roles as youth pastors with the band central to their outreach. Chris Huffman (bass), Megan Garrett (piano, backing vocals), and Andy Williams (drums) joined the group after the move. As part of church discipleship and youth outreach, Casting Crowns recorded independent albums as simply a tool of evangelism with no intention of seeking record labels, money, or fame. The first of these albums was the eponymous Casting Crowns released in 2001.
Here is the discography surrounding Casting Crowns's debut album:
