Carman - Profile of a Christian Artist

Carman was born Dominic Licciardello in New Jersey to a loving Italian family. As a boy, he played the drums and the guitar, and he began singing in his teenage years. As his career developed, Carman played clubs then went on to Las Vegas. It was after seeing an Andrae Crouch concert that Carman gave his life to Jesus Christ. After five years of preparation and prayer, he moved to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he began to build his ministry headquarters for a worldwide outreach.

During the next twenty years Carman changed the face of Christian music and evolved contemporary evangelism into what it is today. Carman established "Carman Ministries," a non-profit organization that touches the lives of millions of people all over the world. Billboard Magazine named him "Contemporary Christian Artist of the Year" in 1990. He has received several gold and platinum albums and videos.
