I Am They is an American contemporary Christian music band from Carson City, Nevada, formed in 2011. The band consists of six members and are signed to Essential Records. Their self-titled debut album was released in 2015.

Background

I Am They is a Christian band from Carson City, Nevada.[1][2]

The band was initially formed as a worship ministry called "Solomon's Porch" for what was intended to be a single night worship gathering on October 31, 2008, hosted at Calvary Chapel Carson City. After a positive reception from the local church community, the band continued holding bi-monthly worship gatherings.

After receiving an offer from a local Christian concert promoter to open for CCM artist Matthew West in January 2009, the band began to write original material and formally changed their name to I Am They in order to differentiate it from the bi-monthly worship ministry they hosted.

The band signed to Provident Label Group in the summer of 2013 and went in to the studio in January 2014 to record their self-titled debut at Yackland Studios in Nashville, TN with Producer Jonathan Smith and Executive Producer Jason Ingram.

In winter and spring of 2015, the band was a part of the national touring "Rock & Worship Roadshow" alongside MercyMe, Crowder, and Group 1 Crew, followed by a tour with Matt Maher on the spring leg of the Saints & Sinners tour.[3]

In August 2015, I Am They received a Dove Award nomination for New Artist of the Year.
