Jeremy Camp is an American Christian rock singer born in 1978 in Lafayette, Indiana. An ordained minister, he wrote "I Still Believe" after the death of his first wife Melissa, who died of cancer in 2001. He has since sold more than seven million albums and placed 32 songs at number one on American Christian charts.
Jeremy Camp grew up in Indiana, where his pastor father taught him guitar. He went on to study theology at Calvary Chapel Bible College in California and joined a worship team that toured the southern part of the state. His life changed in 2000 when he married Melissa Lynn Henning, a young woman in remission from ovarian cancer, who passed away a few months later, in February 2001. Two weeks after her death, he wrote "I Still Believe," a song that would become the foundation of his first major album, "Stay" (2003).
Jeremy Camp remarried in 2003 to Adrienne Liesching Camp, with whom he has three children. Since then, he has released thirteen albums, five of them certified gold by the RIAA, for more than seven million copies sold and 32 number one songs on Christian radio. Winner of five GMA Dove Awards and a Grammy nominee, he has been embracing a deliberate return to a harder rock sound since 2026, with the singles "Revival" and "Reflector."
