“The purpose of The Maverick Way Reimagined album is to embrace all the music genres that reflect what our diverse group of listeners gravitate towards,” says Co-Founders of Maverick City Music and TRIBL Records Jonathan Jay and Norman Gyamfi. “We wanted to give our fans of worship the chance to listen to the songs in a brand new way, while also enjoying the original records that made the last album so popular. There will be many more projects in the works with a few of the featured artists.”

The group was founded in 2018 in Atlanta, Georgia, with the aim of breaking down racial and denominational barriers in Christian music. In 2021, Maverick City Music received a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for their album “Old Church Basement.”

In 2023, the group received four Grammys for Best Gospel Performance/Song (“Kingdom” feat. Naomi Raine & Chandler Moore), Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance (“Fear is Not My Future” feat. Brandon Lake & Chandler Moore), Best Contemporary Christian Music Album (“Breathe”) and Best Gospel Album (“Kingdom Book One” Deluxe). In addition to five Grammy awards, the group also won four GMA Dove Awards, one Billboard Music Award, and one Soul Train Award.
