Caleb & John

New CCM duo Caleb & John are writing their own definition of brotherhood. Two men who came to music in completely different ways, Caleb & John have created their own distinctive sound with joy-fueled, high-energy vocals paired with vibrant musicality all pointing to Jesus. In short, their music is hopeful and fun, just like Caleb & John themselves.

Forming a duo wasn’t the obvious choice in the beginning. Caleb, a pastor’s kid from the northeast, grew up on a steady stream of Christian music while John, the only brother to five sisters, came to love it as a young adult. John taught himself to play guitar and piano through videos on YouTube where Caleb is a classically trained musician. John’s personal style leans toward the gritty, rootsy side and Caleb’s sweet spot is in pop melodies. While both playing for other artists like Sam Hunt, Katy Nichole, CAIN and Anne Wilson, Caleb and John met through a mutual friend who believed they might work well together. “When we met it was an interesting difference,” John says. “We hit off immediately, but it took a minute for us to find the right sound together.” “We didn’t find our sound right away,” Caleb says. “I thought John was so awesome, but I wasn’t sure if we’d be a musical fit. But once we decided to just jam for a while, both of us hopping instrument to instrument, that’s when we found the magic.”

Caleb & John’s individual life experiences and approaches to music are what fuel their collaborative songwriting as well as their personal connection. “John’s an intuitive creative and I’m an analytical creative,” Caleb says. “John will come up with these ideas I would never think of and I’ll help shape them and mold them. We’re able to talk to each other and lean on each other. We complement each other very well.” “Doing this with Caleb is so much better than going it alone,” John says. “I love being able to just hang out with someone and go through this whole thing together. We can bounce ideas off each other.” Caleb adds, “When you’re in a duo, you both have strengths and weaknesses that help you balance each other out. You get the best of both.”

Their debut single, “Hallelujah Feeling,” wasn’t just a hit with fans – it soared to #3 on the charts, solidifying their place in the CCM scene. They recently received a nomination for the K- Love Fan Award’s “Breakout Single of the Year,” further cementing their arrival.

Now, they’re back with their latest single, “Somebody Like Me,” featuring the well-known CCM sibling trio CAIN. This infectious track continues their signature style, offering a message of hope and encouragement. With its powerful vocals and vibrant musicality, “Somebody Like Me” is sure to become another anthem for their ever-growing fanbase.

Two unique people with two unique backgrounds, the duo’s unified joy is contagious, their lyrics overflowing with the goodness of God. With a genuine heart for others and a bond formed through their love for God, Caleb & John are eager to share their music with the world. “The message we want to communicate is hope,” John says. “There is hope for you. If God can change somebody like me, He can change somebody like you.”
