ABOUT MARK SCHULTZ
During the past decade, turning real life experiences into heartfelt anthems of hope and redemption has made Mark Schultz one of the Christian community’s most acclaimed singer/songwriters. Originally hailing from Colby, Kansas, Schultz moved to Nashville to realize his musical ambitions and found inspiration while working as a youth pastor. Schultz booked the city’s famed Ryman Auditorium, and with the overwhelming support of friends and family, his show there was a sell-out. This virtually unheard-of feat for a new artist landed Schultz a record deal where he went on to sell over 1.3 million albums and garner 13 No. 1 singles to date. He has landed the top spot on Billboard magazine’s Christian Adult Contemporary Songwriter list and has been featured on 48 Hours, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, CNN and more. His album Mark Schultz Live: A Night of Stories & Songs was certified Platinum by the R.I.A.A. and earned Schultz his first GMA Dove Award.
