After graduating from high school, Campbell pursued studies in several different areas in search of a vocationbefore feeling a call to the music ministry as his God-appointed career. He studied music at the Jordan Music College at Butler University in Indianapolis before founding his first group in the late 1980’s, known then as Lamar Campbell & Praise. That ensemble released a major-label album two years later that performed moderately well nationally, yielding a major hit titled, “This Debt of Love I Owe.”
