Childhood and youth
Salter was raised in a Christian home, the second of four children (a sister Taira and brothers Titus and Trey). He became more spiritually active at age 16 while attending The Basement, a youth-oriented church in Birmingham.
At Auburn University, he led worship for Chi Alpha Campus Ministries's weekly prayer night. His family and friends encouraged him to learn popular praise songs and to eventually write his own. He began his full-time music career by releasing his first single, "Bring Me Back".
