A Movement, Not Just a Music Group

Founded in 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia by Jonathan Jay and Tony Brown, Maverick City Music isn’t your typical band. It began through a series of songwriting camps that brought together more than 100 songwriters and artists who felt overlooked by the traditional Christian music industry. From these camps emerged a collective that values authentic community, creative freedom, and heartfelt worship above all else.

What sets Maverick City apart is its collective model—featuring many worship leaders and creative voices rotating through recordings and live performances, rather than a fixed lineup. This approach has helped them craft a catalogue of music that feels deeply communal and sincerely powerful.

Career Highlights

• Debut releases Maverick City, Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 dropped in 2019 and quickly put the group on the gospel map.

• Their early live work including Maverick City Vol. 3 Part 1 and Pt. 2 featured worship favorites like “Man of Your Word” and “Promises.” 

• The collective has earned multiple Grammy Awards, GMA Dove Awards, Billboard chart success, and global streaming acclaim for its boundary-breaking music.

• In 2025, Maverick City continued its creative momentum with projects like Love Made a Way (a collaborative EP with Dante Bowe), which charted high on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums.
