Disciple

Disciple was formed in December 1992 by high school friends Kevin Young, Brad Noah, Adrian DiTommasi and Tim Barrett. The band played its first show in May 1993 at Topside Church of God in Louisville, TN and recorded its first three-song demo at Nightsong Studios with Producer Jesse Jones. Adrian DiTommasi left the band shortly after that for personal reasons, and Kevin Young would eventually take over the bass guitar duties.
To know the story of Disciple, you have to place yourself in Kevin Young's shoes. Like Kevin, Disciple's singer and bandleader, let's say you've recorded ten albums, played thousands of shows worldwide, headlined tours since the late 90's, and opened multiple times for the biggest artists in Christian music. You've sold hundreds of thousands of records and you've got fourteen #1 singles. Add to that the fact that you are done with your most recent recording contract and your band needs a lineup change. You've been on the road for twenty years, and you've seen more hotel rooms than a Gideon Bible. Most people would probably say, hey, I've done a lot and maybe it's time to walk away. Most people are not Kevin Young.
"Disciple started when I was 16," says Young, "so I'm somewhere between old and young. I know Disciple's been around for a long time, and sometimes, when I wake up, I can feel every mile, but I can't wait to see what's ahead. It honestly doesn't feel like it's been as long as it has, and in a lot of ways I feel like we're just getting started. The process, where I've been and the new stuff we're doing right now as a band, it's a gift. We chose to be who we are and embrace the new."
