"This is an incredible honor! Wow, an American Music Award; this is voted on by our fans so it's very special to us. We're both humbled and honored to represent Christian music and its fans tonight," noted Mark Hall, lead singer and youth pastor.

Juan, Chris, Hector, and Mark take on the red carpet before the show.

The award show, which aired live on ABC, was hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and for the first time in American Music Awards history, winners were determined by online fan voting at ama.abc.com. A BIG thanks to everyone who voted!

We had a chance to talk to some of the guys before they headed out to L.A.
