Biography Campbell was born Millard Lamar Campbell, on February 13, 1964, in Indianapolis, Indiana. His parents reared him in the Haughville Seventh Day Adventist Church, where he played the piano for the church choir at an early age.

His music career began in 1987, with the release of Ready by Tyscot Records on April 16, 1989, yet this did not chart. After the group disbanded and Spirits of Praise were formed in 1995, Campbell's success in the music industry started to improve. The self-titled album, Lamar Campbell & Spirit of Praise, was released on May 19, 1998, by EMI Gospel. This was his breakthrough release on the Billboard magazine Gospel Albums chart, which he would get five more albums to chart on that particular chart. He has released albums with five labels, Tyscot Records, EMI Gospel, Alliant Records, NuSpring Records, and Soul Stride Records.

His 2000 album, When I Think About You, produced his most popular song, the Rick Robinson-penned "More Than Anything". It has since been covered by the Sunday Service Choir on their 2019 album Jesus Is Born.
