I AM THEY

Formed in early 2011, I Am They has shared the stage with acclaimed recording artists such as: Matthew West, Chris August, Todd Agnew, Jason Castro, Bebo Norman, Brandon Heath and Big Daddy Weave, in addition to winning first place in the 2011 Partner and Play program at Spirit West Coast. Their debut album, The Prelude EP (2011), provides the listener with a collage of seven original songs, each displaying what the band's intent and goal is through their music: worship. At first glance - although the band's moniker merely appears to be an example of poor grammar - it was actually inspired by John 17 and created with the intent to adopt on a personal, individual level. As Jesus prays in this chapter, He consistently refers to His disciples as "they". It is important to each band member to be the "they" that Jesus referred to.
