Bobby Tinsley

Bobby is an amazing talent. It's not often that you hear about a person that sings, writes, produces, and performs their own music. Still, even more impossible to conceive, is the fact that Bobby is only 22 years old. As a Christian artist Bobby feels he has the responsibility to write songs that encourage people and bring them up, not tear them down. Bobby grew up listening to Boyz II Men and Brian Mcknight wishing that there were more singers in their style that praised God in the pop arena. Bobby is quoted in saying, "Young people are dealing with the same relationship struggles and temptations regardless if they are Christians or not. It's important that they have music that talks about those things, yet still shows Christ's love as the most important ingredient throughout, and hopefully for someone who doesn't believe in Jesus, points them that way." Bobby was signed to a label mid 2004, but much to his shock and surprise things never got off the ground. "Many of the things that the record company told me at the time I was signed were just not true. It's sad that people do that, and that I had to go through that whole mess, but it's in times like those that you have to trust God, know that ultimately it's in His timing, and believe that He will open the right doors." What looked like a closed door actually became a blessing in disguise. Bobby formed his own music production company (More Than Hype Records) and by touring on his own and doing several radio station interviews, he was able to catch the attention of Dave and Mia Richards (MD Records).
