Paul McCoy is an American singer-songwriter best known as the lead vocalist of the rock band 12 Stones, formed in 2000. The band gained significant recognition with their self-titled debut album in 2002, featuring the hit single "Broken," which showcased McCoy's powerful vocals and emotional delivery. The band's sound blends post-grunge and alternative rock, often infused with Christian themes, reflecting McCoy's faith. His collaboration with Evanescence on the song "Bring Me to Life" in 2003 further elevated his profile, as the track became a global hit, winning a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. McCoy's contributions to the music scene extend beyond his work with 12 Stones; he has also collaborated with various artists across genres, lending his voice to numerous projects.

His ability to blend spiritual themes with mainstream rock has helped to broaden the audience for Christian rock music.
