Once in awhile an artist comes along that doesn’t quite fit the mold. Not just another artist shaped from the cookie cutter that the music industry tries to use in shaping musicians to all sound alike so that their music is written to please the record company’s idea of what will sell. Even the Christian record companies have fallen into the trap that an artist has to have a certain look or style of music to be what they consider to successful.
What is success anyway? Is it being able to sell millions of albums or is it being able to stand before God on judgement day knowing you did your best to serve Him with the talent and gifts He has given you.
Something tells me that a lot of musicians will stand before the Lord on judgement day that have sold millions of albums and God will look at them and say, depart from me, I never knew you.
Success in God’s eyes is simply did you do your best to honor Him with the talent He has given you?
Have you shared the gospel message and spoken the truth in your music without compromise or fear of what the world will think of you? Were you true to His calling or did you sell out to the music industry machine that says? Walk this way talk this way, sound this way, and you’ll be a success!
Yes once in awhile an artist comes along who is not afraid to speak the truth of God in his music.
The un-compromised word of God and the un-apologized worship and praise of the risen Lord Jesus Christ.
Don Tipton is one of those artists who lays it all on the line in the lyrics of his songs. Why?
It is simple because Don Tipton is out to please God and honor Him, and not man, or the music industry machine.
Don Tipton may never sell millions of albums but when He stands before God on judgement day he will know he has done his best to be a faithful servant of Jesus Christ who is the author and finisher of his faith.
Born in southern Ohio where he learned to play guitar from his Uncle Howard who taught him a few chords. Don was brought up in a musical family that would gather on Saturday nights to play country music on an old front porch.
In high school he was introduced to rock music and started a band with his best friend Al. They were called “The American Destiny”. They mostly played at high school dances.
After graduation Don, and Al started a band called “Magic Mountain”. They played in bars and nightclubs around southern Ohio.
In 1976 Don and his new wife and child moved to Detroit Mi. Where they spent the next twenty years raising four daughters, and Don being active in their church worship band.
During this time Don played in several Christian bands. They played at coffee houses youth meetings, churches, and even opened a few times for some big name Christian acts.
Don’s bands played all original material mostly written by Don himself.
In 1996 Don decided to go solo and get back to playing acoustic guitar driven songs as that was where is heart is. So he packed up his stuff and along with his wife and youngest daughter ( who was a senior in high school) moved to Nashville, TN.
Now thanks to the modern day internet Don Tipton songs are being heard all over the world.
In October of 2005 Don released his first solo album called “Holy Fire!” which is available at www.cdbaby.com/tipton or if you prefer digital MP3 downloads go to www.soundclick.com/dontipton or www.broadjam.com/dontipton
This album is full of his passionate love for Christ.
Acoustic guitar driven songs that are filled with the word of God and truly anointed by God’s Spirit.
Prepare to be taken into the presence of God thru the music of Don Tipton.
Once in awhile a rare gem comes along in the music industry.
Don Tipton is one of those jewels.
