Robby Heck was born in Orange Park, Florida, but grew up in a small rural community in North Central Florida (Bell/High Springs) near Gainesville. Raised by two God-fearing parents along with his two older and one younger brother, they always enjoyed living out in the sticks. His parents, passionate about the Word of God, instilled strong faith in him from a young age. Robby remembers his mother waking up early to read a daily devotional and pray with the children before school. His father would discuss God's Word deeply with him, his brothers, and their friends, allowing him to soak in wisdom. They attended a small country church 10 minutes from their home, led by Pastor Ralph Rodriguez and Youth Minister Al Paulson, both great men of faith. At the age of 5, during one of Pastor Ralph's sermons, Robby felt a call to accept Jesus as his Savior but was too afraid to come forward during the altar call. After the service, he asked his parents how he could accept Jesus. Robby remembers being in his bedroom on his knees praying with his dad, which is when he accepted Jesus into his life. Robby always had a strong desire to sing. One Sunday, Al Paulson performed "Thief" by Third Day, and Robby, even as a young child, wanted to sing with the same power and passion. The combination of the piano's sound filling the church, along with Al's voice and the message of God being preached through music, had an amazing impact on Robby and inspired him to pursue music.
