A Christian rock artist and spiritual activist, Jake Hamilton helped install several ministries in his hometown of Rancho Cucamonga, California, while also touring in support of his music. He made his debut with 2010’s Marked by Heaven, which combined the heavy guitars and guttural vocals of post-grunge with the devout themes of worship music. Recorded live during the Jesus Culture conference, it was followed one year later by a proper studio album, Freedom Calling. ~ Andrew Leahey
