Early life

Waller was the lead singer for the late-1990s band According to John. After the band quit in 2001, he became a worship leader at South Link CPP (Free Methodist Church) in Colorado.[1]

Career

In 2007, Waller was signed to the Christian label Beach Street Records and has released his debut album The Blessing in March 2007.[2] He toured with Casting Crowns and Leeland on the spring leg of The Altar and the Door tour, which ended on May 31, 2008.

His single "While I'm Waiting" became an American Christian radio hit after appearing in the movie Fireproof.[3][4]

His third studio album, As for Me and My House, was released May 3, 2011 through City of Peace Records. It includes 11 tracks including the title track "As for Me and My House" and was produced by Jason Hoard.

His fifth studio album, Crazy Faith, was released on August 21, 2015, by City of Peace Media. The title track was featured in War Room.[5]
