In 1996, John Ellis & Daryl Swart, both feeling the need to do something different with their lives, played at a music festival in Durban after only practicing together for 6 hours. They had 5 songs & no name, but the crowd went wild. The four, along with mate, "Scoop," who played bass guitar, continued to have jam sessions for fun & play for live audiences in to 1997. The response contiunded to grow, & the group began to realize that they had something special. In April of 1997, the group independently released their first album, Overflow, which was produced by their nice mate Martin Engle. They chose the name "Tree" because it was short & to-the-point, yet full of imagery. , christian music hillsong, top christian music bands, hillsong christian music

Revelation 22:2 sums up the group's reason for exisistance. The band went through some difficult times after this & even broke up for a while. (tree"jesus, tree christian, king tree63)When they reconvened, they began working on their next project, 63, which was released in July of 1999. 63 was used as the title because Psalm 63 was the inspiration behind the lyrics that John wrote for the song "Earnestly." Early in 2000, Tree63 went to the United States for the first time to meet with InPop Records, a US label based out of Nashville. A deal was established, but the group could not use "Tree" as their name because another group was already using it that had it tattooed all over their bodies. society,, christian music hillsong, top christian music bands, hillsong christian music
