Bio:
Steven J. Camp (born April 13, 1955) is an American contemporary Christian music artist and pastor. In the tradition of Martin Luther's Ninety-five Theses, Camp sent out his own 107 theses on Reformation Day (October 31), 1998, calling for a reformation in contemporary Christian music: calling Christian musicians to make direct, uncompromising music that confronts the world with the message of the scriptures.Born in Wheaton, Illinois, Camp was raised by Christian parents, and by five years of age he had confessed faith in Jesus. He went on to desire to serve God through his teenage years. As a young Christian, he created a close bond with legendary Christian singer/songwriter Larry Norman, who gave him advice concerning Camp's own singing and songwriting. In addition, he met the late Keith Green, who encouraged him to make a stronger commitment to Jesus and the ministry of music. Camp was divorced from his first wife prior to 2002.He remarried on June 19, 2009. He is unrelated to Jeremy Camp, a fellow Christian rock musician.Camp is now the senior pastor of The Cross Church in Palm City, Florida.Camp attended Roosevelt University, where he majored in musical composition and theory. He studied under Ralph Dodds. He also studied business law/music at the College of DuPage. In the late 1970s, he began a longtime relationship with a then-unknown Rob Frazier, a one-time Petra member, who co-wrote songs for Camp's own albums. Camp was reunited with Frazier on Frazier's 1992 compilation Retrospect, on which Frazier and Camp sang duet vocals for the song "Why, Why Why?" He had a long-term friendship with Scott Wesley Brown, and he played acoustic guitar and sang backups on Brown's 1977 album, I'm Not Religious, I Just Love The Lord, one year before he went on his own. Five of Camp's albums Sayin' It with Love (1978), Start Believin' (1980), For Every Man (1981), Only the Very Best (1983), and It's a Dying World (1984) have never been released on CD.Prior to becoming a conference speaker and lecturer, Camp was a popular contemporary Christian music singer-songwriter. In 1977, he signed a recording contract with Myrrh Records, releasing several songs as a solo artist. In 1983, Camp signed a contract with Sparrow Records, with whom he released nine successful albums. On his first album, Fire and Ice, Camp paired up with Michele Pillar to sing "Love's Not A Feeling". In 1989, Camp released his 10th studio album, Justice, on which he recorded a duet with BeBe Winans, entitled "Do You Feel Their Pain?" After Camp's contract with Sparrow ended in 1992, he signed with Warner Alliance, with whom he released 2 albums. On his 1993 release Taking Heaven By Storm, Camp teamed up with veteran keyboardist and songwriter Michael Omartian, and together they produced a series of No. 1 hits in a single year (1994), including a contemporary remake of "The Lord's Prayer". Later that same year, he released a worship-themed project titled Mercy in the Wilderness.In the mid-1990s, Camp was a frequent guest on radio stations all across the country. Between 1995 and 1997, he also hosted his own radio talk show, No Compromise with Steve Camp. He also made guest appearances on The Bible Answer Man with Hank Hanegraaff, The Janet Parshall Show, The Dick Staub Show, Prime Time America with Jim Warren, Iron Sharpens Iron, and many more. He is also a well-known writer for the AudienceONE Ministries website.
Album:
For the first time in decades, Steve Camp Fire and Ice returns in stunning remastered audio in Collectors Edition packaging, preserving the energy and conviction that made it a fan favorite. This special Collectors Edition comes with a Collectors Sleeve, a Limited Edition Collector Trading Card #42—a must-have for collectors. It also includes a 12-page booklet with lyrics, photos, and liner notes, making this the a must have for collectors. Originally released in 1983 on Sparrow Records, this landmark album marked a significant shift in Camp’s musical direction—delivering a harder, rock-driven sound compared. It's bold, it's passionate and one of Camp’s most celebrated works, earning a spot on CCM Magazine’s The 100 Greatest Albums. We sparred no expense including giving this the coveted Girder treatment and even communicated with the artist for their input. But there is only 500 of these made. So if you want one you best be first in-line at midnight.The album features hits like Upon This Rock, Fire and Ice, What Would the Devil Say, Light Your Candle, addressing themes of faith, conviction, and the struggles of Christian life, Fire and Ice remains one of the most impactful albums in Christian rock history.What many fans may not realize is the incredible talent behind Fire and Ice. Rob Frazier, the vocalist from **Petra’s **Washes Whiter Than album and a respected solo artist, co-wrote many of the songs on this record. His songwriting helped shape the album’s powerful message and musical intensity.Additionally, Dann Huff, legendary guitarist for White Heart and later the hard rock band GIANT, played guitar on this album. Known for his jaw-dropping skill and ability to bring an electrifying energy to any song, Huff’s contributions are a major reason why Fire and Ice rocks as hard as it does. With Huff’s searing guitar work and Frazier’s compelling songwriting, Fire and Ice was destined to be a classic.But the real mastermind behind Fire and Ice was none other than Steve Camp himself. Without his undying passion for Christ and commitment to musical excellence, this album would not have left the lasting impact that it did. His fearless approach to faith-driven rock set a new standard, and we, as fans, owe Steve a big thank you for creating such a powerful and timeless record.
