Biography

Shust was born in Chicago, Illinois and grew up near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He studied music theory at Toccoa Falls College in Georgia. While there, he studied Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Johann Sebastian Bach. He also became influenced by U2 and Bob Marley.[2] He began performing at churches and coffeehouses while attending college.

Shust began leading worship at Perimeter Church, Duluth, Georgia in 2000 until 2005, and recorded his album, Anything Worth Saying, in 2004 with producer, Dan Hannon, who delivered the album along with a stack of others to Brash Music for consideration. [3] Brash Music signed Shust shortly thereafter.

The song "My Savior My God" peaked at No. 1 on six charts simultaneously by April 17: Radio and Records (R&R) Christian adult contemporary (AC) radio chart as played on the Weekend Top 20,[4] R&R Christian AC monitor chart, CRW's AC radio chart, Billboard Hot Christian songs radio chart and Billboard Hot Christian AC chart.

The song was awarded Song of the Year at the 2007 Annual GMA Dove Awards in Nashville.
