Maverick City Music - Salem

Maverick City Music is a groundbreaking worship collective that has redefined the sound and culture of contemporary Christian music. Founded in 2018, the collective emerged with a mission to break down barriers in the worship music industry, championing diversity and authentic expression.

Known for their raw, spontaneous worship and genre-blending sound, Maverick City Music has created anthems that resonate across churches and cultures. Their music fuses gospel, CCM, R&B, and Latin influences, giving voice to a new generation of worshippers. With chart-topping albums like Maverick City Vol. 3, Jubilee, and the Grammy-winning Kingdom Book One (with Kirk Franklin), the collective has become a global phenomenon.

Maverick City Music has earned widespread recognition, securing 5 Grammy Awards, 4 GMA Dove Awards, 3 Billboard Music Awards, and 1 Soul Train Music Award. Their Grammy wins include Best Contemporary Christian Music Album (Old Church Basement with Elevation Worship) and multiple honors for their collaborations with Kirk Franklin, such as Kingdom Book One and the hit single Fear Is Not My Future.

Beyond music, Maverick City Music is committed to social impact, partnering with organizations to support justice initiatives, prison reform, and underserved communities.

At its core, Maverick City Music remains a movement—one that continues to challenge the norm, inspire transformation, and invite people into an authentic encounter with Jesus through the power of worship.
