Biography

Haseltine attended Greenville College, where he was noticed by fellow student Charlie Lowell while wearing a Toad the Wet Sprocket T-shirt at a local concert. The two became friends and began Jars of Clay with guitarist Stephen Mason. Later, they enlisted guitarist Matt Bronleewe, who was with the group for a short while but decided to complete his studies when the rest of the group left in 1995 before graduation. He was replaced by Matthew Odmark from Rochester, New York.

In 2001, Haseltine and the rest of Jars of Clay were awarded honorary graduations from Greenville College due to their demonstrated understanding of their craft. Haseltine has collaborated with other artists and authors in books such as "The Revolution: A Field Manual for Changing Your World" (2006) and "I.Am.Relevant: A Generation Impacting Their World With Faith" (2002).

In 2007, Haseltine released his first children's book entitled, "The One, the Only Magnificent Me". The book features artwork by illustrator Joel Schoon Tanis and will be published by Mackinac Island Press, Inc. The book was named a CMSpin bestseller on 2007-09-12. Haseltine was featured on the 2011 Plumb song "Drifting". The song peaked at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot Christian Songs chart.

In 2012, Haseltine released an EP called His + Hers along with Jeremy Bose and Matt Bronleewe as The Hawk in Paris. A full-length album was expected to be released in 2013.

In 2019, Haseltine and Matthew S. Nelson composed the soundtrack for The Chosen, including the theme song "Walk on the Water" (featuring Ruby Amanfu).
