In 2000, Canadian recording artist Lamont Hiebert wrote, recorded and co-produced the album Much. Before releasing the album Lamont recruited Austin Morrison (drums) and Tommy Lee (bass) and formed the band Ten Shekel Shirt. The independent release of that album sparked the attention of Integrity Music who then signed Lamont Hiebert as an artist under the moniker / band name of Ten Shekel Shirt. The debut album ''Much'' sold 130,000 units, was nominated for a Dove Award, featured the #1 hit ''Ocean'' and the top ten song ''Meet With Me''.

While recording the 2nd Ten Shekel Shirt album ''Risk'', Lamont co-founded Justice for Children International. (JFCI is a public charity that works to abolish child slavery and restore survivors.) Although the album Risk received rave reviews after its release in 2003 Lamont was torn between his music career and the abolitionist organization he started. ''â€œUnfortunately there is only so much time in a day. I was the Executive Director for a growing international charity and a front man for a successful rock band. From 2003 â€“ 2006, I had to put my music career aside for the most part in order to focus on the organization,â€'' Lamont recalls.

In 2007 Lamont decided to re-launch his music career. He has finished recording his new album ''Jubilee'' and is set to release it in early 2008 (under the name ''Ten Shekel Shirt''.)
