Blending styles of rock, EDM, Christian pop, and traditional worship, Elevation Worship has become one of the most beloved groups of their kind in contemporary music. Based in 2007 out of Elevation Church in Charlotte, North Carolina, the band leads worship in church on weekends and also plays concerts across the U.S. Prior to having a deal in place, Elevation Worship released four albums including their 2010 breakthrough ‘Kingdom Come,' which would reach No. 5 on the U.S. Heatseekers Albums and No. 17 on the U.S. Christian Albums charts. After the levee of recognition broke, the group signed to Essential Records and released live album ‘For the Honor' in 2011, which received acclaim from Christian music reviewers. Elevation Worship showcased not only that their anthemic tunes soared, but that the live setting is a natural habitat, showcasing true ability to command a crowd with memorable melodies and shimmering guitars. ‘For the Honor' also became their first album to chart on the U.S. Billboard 200, reaching No. 193., and reaching No. 1 on U.S. Heatseekers.

‘Nothing Is Wasted,' another live record from 2013, would become the band's first No. 1 album on the U.S. Christian Albums chart, and would reach No. 41 on the U.S. Billboard 200, the band's highest ranking to date. As it turned out, their live albums — often recorded in front of crowds upwards of 16,000 people — were Elevation Worship's sweet spot. With their 2016 massive hit single "O Come to the Altar," the band made it to No. 2 on both the U.S. Christian and Christian Airplay singles charts on Billboard. The following year, Elevation Worship's ‘There Is a Cloud' was nominated for the Gospel Music Association's Dove Award in the Worship Album of the Year and Long Form Video of the Year categories. It was also nominated for Top Christian Album at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards.
