Rate Artist:: 9 to 10 on my scale Bill Spielman Comments = I knew Tom back from the mid 80's back in Las Vegas. He and his band would perform and it was God inspiring. He sang at my wedding and his song, "Don't Harden Your Heart" has always stuck with me all through my life since. A profound encouragement that was and still is today. All in all, I like his music and testimony. He to us represents authentic Christianity. Keep on praising Jesus and knocking them out of the park...

Bio
Tom Lovato has been leading worship for nearly 23 years and for the last 6 years has been the Worship Leader for Lakewood Church in Branson West, MO. A singer/songwriter/guitarist with an amazing testimony of God’s Redeeming Power. Raised in the town that goes by the name of “sin city” (Las Vegas, NV), Tom got an early start in drug use when as a 5th grader he was introduced to marijuana by his older brother. By 6th grade Tom had taken his first hit of speed. It was easy to see early on that this story was not going to have a happy ending. At 16 years old, Tom spent $54.00 at a pawn shop and bought his first guitar with money he had earned as a dishwasher for a JB’s Big Boy Restaurant. Not long after teaching himself to play, he traded in his used guitar for a brand new one. Life would never be the same now that he had another outlet to vent his teenage frustrations. But the mix of drugs and rock music just fed into the vacuum of emptiness Tom would feel for many years until his true longing was met. Still, that was many years down the road. Later, after some world travels oversea as a US NAVY sailor, Tom was kicked out on an “Other Than Honorable Discharge” due to his continued drug use. Not long after this, Tom was arrested in the State of Indiana on two counts of armed robbery. While in jail, Tom gave his heart to the Lord after an amazing encounter with Him and though his sin issue was dealt with, his consequences for his reckless lifestyle still had to play out. Thus Tom ended up serving several years in prison. While serving his time, Tom’s heart was drawn to prayer and the Word of God therefore he studied earnestly to show himself approved unto God. Fortunately, Tom also had access to the music dept and as such began to write new songs reflecting his change of heart.After serving his sentence and while living in a community halfway house, believing God was calling him to share and live out this new found faith in God with his family, Tom requested his parole be relocated so he could be closer to his immediate family. And as a result several family members turned to Jesus and found that Salvation was a free gift that was being extended to them as well. Being very focused on ministering to the needs of others Tom began to visit places to share the Gospel, his Personal Testimony and to sing songs of hope and faith that he had written while in prison or was currently composing. Child Haven, Juvenile Hall, Teen Challenge, C-Star, The Boys & Girls State Home as well as returning to prison to minister God’s Grace are just a few of the many places Tom has gone to. In 1992 Tom co-founded the Christian Rock Band, “under grace” and released the CD “Living On Faith” in 1996. Just before Christmas of 2010 Tom was offered a Solo Record Deal through the Tate Music Group (TMG) out of Oklahoma. Tate Music Group is a major music label dedicated to working with aspiring artists and giving their music the best chance in the marketplace. If you’ve ever thought about producing an album, you should visit www.tatemusicgroup.com. Tom is available as a speaker and performer with this word of encouragement: “that your past need not determine your future when you surrender it to Jesus”. Through the gift of music, Tom writes and sings songs from his personal journey of faith with all its trials and tribulations as well as it triumphs.Thank you for your consideration to invite Tom Lovato to your service or event.
