Maverick City Music receives new artist of the year and album of the year awards at the 2021 Stellar Awards. | cr8agencyIn recent years, Maverick City Music has become a household name in Christian music. But aside from their worship anthems, including "Jireh" and “Promises," not much is known about the diverse group. The Christian Post caught up with Jonathan Jay, CEO of Tribl Records, who, along with Tony Brown, founded Maverick City Music to get a behind-the-scenes look at the beloved group. Maverick City Music was officially launched in 2018 after the duo spent several years hosting songwriting camps with people from across the United States. Over the years, Jay and his team brought together over 100 Christian artists and songwriters — and that effort birthed hundreds of songs.

The diverse group released their first EP, Maverick City, Vol. 1 in 2019. It debuted in the top 10 of Billboard's Top Gospel Albums.

That makes sense. We're a gathering place; we're a microphone, an amplifier for all the people who feel like they have the Maverick spirit and want part of that. We come from a community of people who have been writing songs and putting music out for so long, even before Maverick City. So I think the heart really of Tribl is to be an amplifier to the world of what worship sounds like, what it looks like, and to amplify really the voices that ought to be amplified in this space. I think, for a lot of people, that's maybe people that you haven't heard of before. I think maybe there are people that you know, but maybe you haven't heard them in this way. So I think we're sort of throwing up the bat signal and inviting people to be a part of it who feel like they identify with maybe some of the things that we all sort of identify with when it comes to worship. Tribl records and Tribl worship is literally just a welcoming signal, it's the bat signal [to] come and join and be a part of what we feel like God is doing, not just in Maverick, but in the world.CP: Racial division is seen within the gospel and contemporary Christian music genres, but those associated with Tribl consist of all people. Can you talk about that?Jay: It's pervasive, right? It's ubiquitous. It exists in the way that we talk about it. I think

So what we really found is that people sort of went to church with us during the pandemic. The messages and the encouragement that we would get from people like, "Hey, I haven't been to church in a long time, or I just needed this today, but I listened to a video or heard the song and it has gotten me through." I think for us, hearing that, experiencing that, seeing that was really just a reminder that God was doing something, even in the midst of a year where everyone says, "You're shutting down." We really felt like we took off in a sense. There's a few things, the multicultural-ness of it. I think seeing people that maybe don't all look the same, or people coming together to worship; there's something where people say, "Let me look into that." I think spontaneous worship. I think the moments where you feel like the song kind of ends, but there's still something that God's doing and the leader leans into that and that's captured, that's held on to. I feel like all those things make the Tribal, the Maverick expression stand out, and so beautifully.CP: Many people know Maverick City Music, but who is Tribl music and how is it different? Jay: Tribl is the bat signal to all of the Mavericks out there, if
