Cross 4 Crowns was formed in
2003 by baritone singer Allen Leath. Starting as an all male
trio, the group traveled locally to regionally with a sound
typically compared to that of Greater Vision. After being
called into the minsitry full-time in September of 2005, the
Lord began opening doors all across the country. In January,
2006, C4C added a bass singer and has since become one of
the best new quartets in southern gospel music.
Growing up in Mascot, TN,
a little mining town east of Knoxville, baritone singer
Allen Leath began singing and playing music at the age of 7.
By the age of 13, Allen could fluently play the guitar,
piano, banjo and other instruments as well as sing. In 1986,
at the age of 21, Allen joined The Merrits, a family group
from Luttrell, TN, playing piano. Two years later, he
started singing and began writing music and songs for the
group. Allen still incorporates his live musical abilities
and songwriting for Cross 4 Crowns today.
Tenor Jonathan Kunkle
joined C4C in January, 2007. Jonathan has been singing
Southern Gospel Music regionally to nationally for some 20
years. A rich, traditional, high-range tenor makes Jonathan
an industry favorite. His biggest "claim to fame?"...he can
sound exactly like the beloved Vestel Goodman!! Jonathan
lives in Pigeon Forge, TN with wife Angela, son Austin and
daughter Ashlynn Rose.
Joining the group to
sing lead in August of 2007, Davis McCammon, Jr., or Davey
as we call him, is one of the finest lead singers in gospel
music. Singing in church most of his life as well, Davey
began to branch out his singing ministry around 1999.
Singing with "His Own", a Maryville, TN based quartet, Davey
shared the stage with some of Southern Gospels most
recognized groups. His smoothe, yet powerful voice is
winning over gospel music fans all across the country.
From Knoxville, TN, bass
singer Justin Terry joined Cross 4 Crowns in January, 2006.
At 23 years of age, Justin has already been turning heads in
southern gospel with a distinct bass sound that is way
beyond his years. Justin has often been compared to Richard
Sterbin of The Oak Ridge Boys, but Justin will be quick to
tell you that the only one he wants to emulate is Jeff
Chapman of The Kingdom Heirs. Daywind record producer Marty
Funderburk says "Justin is already one of the best bass
singers I've ever heard." Cross 4 Crowns is Justins first
professionsl singing opportunity. When you hear Justin,
you'll be hard-pressed to believe he's only been singing for
3 years. |
