About Me
1.3 Million record sold Universal Republic recording artist #1 Alternative Radio hit “Feel Good Drag” Stephen Christian is best known as the charismatic lead vocalist of the alternative rock band Anberlin. Throughout his career, Christian has not only established himself as a talented musician and songwriter but also as an entrepreneur, author, and advocate for various social causes. Stephen Christian grew up in a family where music and creativity were part of everyday life. His early exposure to music paved the way for his future career, though initially, he was more inclined towards athletics. However, after moving to Winter Haven, Florida, during his teenage years, Christian's passion for music took a definitive shape. It was during this period that he met Deon Rexroat, with whom he would eventually form Anberlin. Before Anberlin's inception, Christian and Rexroat played together in a punk band called SaGoh 24/7. They formed Anberlin in 2002, alongside Joseph Milligan, Nathan Young, and Joey Bruce, who was later replaced by Christian McAlhaney. Anberlin signed with Tooth & Nail Records and released their debut album, "Blueprints for the Black Market," in 2003. The album was a modest success, but it was their follow-up, "Never Take Friendship Personal" (2005), that truly put Anberlin on the map. The album's mix of energetic rock and introspective lyrics resonated with a broad audience, cementing the band's place in the alternative rock scene. Anberlin's music often explored themes of faith, love, and betrayal, elements deeply rooted in Christian's personal experiences and his Christian faith. However, the band was careful not to be pigeonholed as a "Christian band," aiming instead to reach a universal audience with their message. The band's third album, "Cities" (2007), received critical acclaim and included some of Anberlin's most beloved tracks, such as "Godspeed" and "The Unwinding Cable Car." With each release, Anberlin's sound evolved, showcasing a growth in complexity and depth both in their music and lyrics. Anberlin signed with major label Universal Republic in 2007, releasing "New Surrender" in 2008. The album featured the single "Feel Good Drag," which became a breakout hit, reaching number one on the Alternative Songs chart. This track helped propel Anberlin into mainstream recognition, leading to extensive touring schedules and increased album sales. In addition to his work with Anberlin, Stephen Christian has pursued other musical projects, including his solo endeavor under the name Anchor & Braille. This project allowed him to explore different musical styles and themes, focusing more on softer, more introspective acoustic and electronic music. His solo albums have been well-received, adding another layer to his musical accomplishments. Beyond music, Christian has been involved in various philanthropic efforts. He has worked with nonprofit organizations like Faceless Internat
