True Vibe was an American CCM group founded by former 98 Degrees member Jonathan Lippmann.

Biography

Lippmann left 98 Degrees just before they signed a recording contract; he had already signed on to several roles as an actor, but also found himself somewhat uncomfortable with his understanding of religion. [ [http://wm11.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:fnfoxq9kldde~T1 Biography] , Allmusic.com] After performing in "Sweet Valley High" and doing commercials for Burger King, Lippmann formed True Vibe in Nashville, Tennessee, and signed with Essential Records. The group released two albums on Essential.

The second album (See The Light) was Grammy-nominated for Best Pop/Contemporary Christian Album. Sometime in 2003, the group parted ways. Jonathan Lippmann told a Christian magazine that he thought about replacing the other three guys but decided against it.Fact|date=December 2007

They may be best known to mainstream audiences for appearing on the title track to 'N Sync members' Lance Bass and Joey Fatone's movie, "On the Line."

True Vibe performed on the David Letterman Show and are featured on the soundtrack.
