christian rock group casting crowns began as a student worship band in daytona beach, florida, in 1999. led by singer, songwriter, and youth pastor mark hall, the group initially included guitarists juan devevo and hector cervantes, violinist melodee devevo, and drummer rob cervantes (a.k.a. chavez). the group relocated to stockbridge, georgia, in 2001, adding chris huffman on bass, megan garrett on keyboards and accordion, and drummer andy williams. this augmented version of casting crowns released two independent albums on cd, both of which were well received in the atlanta area. both independent albums were efforts on the part of mark hall and the rest of the group as outreach projects for youth in the area. the group won the gma regional songwriters competition at palm beach atlantic university, west palm beach, florida, in both the "best song" and the "best artist" categories in 2004. although the group was not searching for a record label, one of the group's albums found its way into the hands of mark miller, lead singer for country group sawyer brown, who was struck by casting crowns' driving pop/rock style and hall's vocal delivery of his hard-hitting but devout songs. miller signed casting crowns to his fledgling beach street records, a division of reunion records with distribution by the provident label group, making casting crowns the first artist signed to beach street records.
