Plus ONE's Biography |
|
Plus ONE took shape after a word-of-mouth audition held by Atlantic Records brought them together. By sheer coincidence, Nate and Gabe came from the same music circle, growing up in Northern California, while the rest have never met before. Their name, Plus ONE came about from their knowledge that they're never alone. "We have each other, we have God. He's always with us," they say, a testament to their strong Christian faith. |

Here is part of an article that K-Love did on Plus ONE:
The girls in the audience were hysterical. Plus ONE had just finished a short, four-song set at Sam's Club in Nashville, Tenn. |

Gabe, Jeremy, Jason, Nathan, and Nate in Sacramento, Ca, May 4, 01. |
| Let's give my friend, Nicole, a hand for drawing the background. She drew it off of the back of her CD cover, and no she did not just trace it!! | As they
exited, two girls, junior-high aged, climbed onstage for a talent
show. Blushing and giggling uncontrollably, the girls held up a
homemade sign scribbled with a message: "WE LOVE YOU PLUS
ONE!" A bewildered Gary Chapman, who was hosting the event,
turned to the audience and said, "Never in my entire career has
this happened to me." The boy-band phenomenon has definitely
hit Christian music.
During a promotional tour throughout the Untied States this year, thousands of screaming girls swarmed local malls to see Plus ONE's Nate Cole, Gabe Combs, Nathan Walters, Jason Perry, and Jeremy Mhire. In June, 10,000 people flocked to a Lakeland, Fla. church to see Plus ONE perform. They were the only act on the bill. Plus ONE's debut album, The Promise, sold more than 19,000 units in its first week, setting an all-time sales record for a new artist. "Written on My Heart" reached No. 1 on both the Christian Adult Contemporary and Christian Hit Radio charts. The sudden success hasn't changed the five members of Plus ONE. They seem little different than kids in your typical youth group. Before a recent concert, they quoted movie lines, made jokes about each other's hygiene practices and desperately tried to get their hair to look properly unkempt. They also talked honestly about the screaming girls, their sudden success and the ways in which God has blessed them. |
