“We feel like we're just getting started”, says Kevin Young, lead singer of Disciple. Yeah, right. Just getting started. Disciple has been together for over 10 years – since the band was in high school - having played over 1,200 concerts to hundreds of thousands of hard-core, devoted fans. They released 6 albums, their last one selling 35,000 independent units, garnered 6 number one rock hits and received 4 Dove nominations for Best Hard Rock Song and Album of the Year. They managed and booked themselves. Their email database goes on for days, and they have thousands of fans post to their message board every week. In their free time they head for Europe to headline tours. These are the kind of statistics that many major label artists would be proud of, but Disciple is that rare band that has done it on their own with little help from the machine called the music business.

Drummer Tim Barrett and vocalist Kevin Young started playing music together in their early teens. The pair met guitarist Brad Noah in December 1992 and assembled Disciple as a three-piece band. In October 2003, the trio added bassist Joey Fife to the ensemble, rounding out the current Disciple roster. “We are brothers in the truest sense of the word. We have loved each other, argued, fought, made up and done it all over again to the point where we know each other so well. We have sharpened each other over the years, and we can't wait to see what the future holds for us.”

Disciple is seeking to spread their message and music to as many new faces as possible. “We want to play for more people than we have ever played for,” says Young. “We have never been in this thing for money and I hope we never will be, but at the same time we want to reach as many people as we can with our music. We feel that our songs are more than just music – we've seen them have a positive impact on people's lives. As a band, we feel like we have had the opportunity to do more and be a part of more than we ever dreamed. We are thankful for that. But we feel like we have so much more to give. Things have fallen into place for us. We've got the right team around us for the first time in our careers and we think we've made the right music. Again, I feel like we are just getting started.”

If this is “just getting started,” then Disciple's future could be quite a ride.
