AMP has carved a unique sound in the Christian music landscape combining pop, urban, dance, rap and more reminiscent of the early days of dc talk. The band takes passion in building relationships with their fans, and those within the industry, setting a solid foundation for relational based music-ministry, a cornerstone of any successful artist or group. - Kevin McNease, Founder of New Release Tuesday

"AMP is back and not leaving anytime soon. With Glory Songs, it only validates and reiterates their unique and one-of-a-kind style. This album can easily serve as worshipful church songs, yet also it can appeal to a younger generation. I think if they continue on this path, they will be unstoppable." - New Release Tuesdays

"All in all the album is uplifting, offers something to those who want to listen to music with a message and embraces and sustains the dynamics of Hip Hop all at the same time! We love it all that much, that we made it our album of the month too!" - Milk and Honey

"I've always been a fan of AMP since I heard of them through Harvard AACF. At first I started out as a fan of their music but after meeting them, I admired how their hearts constantly sought out God through their music and careers. I can't wait for the upcoming album to come out!"

Bio
AMP is a collective that seeks to engage their culture through hip-hop with lyrical influences that are rooted in deep Christian tradition.
CL, J. Han, and Sam Ock met each other in 2009 to collaborate on two songs Never Change and See You in Heaven. With the success of Never Change hitting 1 million views on Youtube, they decided to unite in similar callings to reach people through music, thus forming AMP.
Once formed, AMP saw a speedy release of their freshman self-titled album in the summer of 2010. With welcomed response, AMP began touring across the United States garnering a fervent grassroots following. This new-found support encouraged AMP to write a sophomore album, Glory Songs, which released in the summer of 2012.
AMP started to gain more recognition by winning the 2012 KingsFest Talent Competition and the CreationFest Indie East Stage Competition, both major Christian summer festivals on the East Coast. They have opened for major recording artists, such as Trip Lee, Jimmy Needham and Starfield. Also, their songs can be found in heavy rotation with major Christian Hip-Hop stations in Canada and the United States.
The trio run their creative enterprise working out of the basement of their Maryland homes where they compose, produce and distribute original music under their own record label, Anointed Music Productions (A.M.P.).
AMP stands for amplify, and that is what the guys want to do: Enlarge the volume of life, music and the gracious giver of both, Jesus Christ.
