Anthem Lights

Anthem Lights originated in 2007, formed by Chad Graham and Alan Powell in Nashville, Tennessee. Initially known as Yellow Cavalier, the group released an independent EP in 2009. They later changed their name to Anthem Lights, signifying their mission to bring light and hope through their music. In 2011, they signed with Reunion Records and released their self-titled debut album, which reached No. 15 on Billboard’s Christian Albums chart. Early singles like “Can’t Shut Up” achieved chart success, peaking at No. 42 on the Christian Songs chart and No. 27 on CHR radio charts. The group’s initial lineup included Chad Graham, Alan Powell, Caleb Grimm, and Kyle Kupecky.

Over the years, Anthem Lights has experienced member changes and career progression. In 2012, Kyle Kupecky departed and Joseph “Joey” Stamper joined, bringing his skills as a vocalist, pianist, and guitarist. The band continued to release albums such as ‘You Have My Heart’ in 2014, which peaked at No. 17 on the Christian Albums chart and No. 2 on the Heatseekers chart, and ‘Escape’ in the same year. Alan Powell left the group in 2016 to pursue acting, and Spencer Kane became the newest member. The group has broadened its musical scope, releasing ‘Hymns’ in 2017, which charted at No. 20 on Christian Albums, and ‘Hymns Vol. II’ in 2018. Their work is characterized by intricate harmonies and a consistent message of faith.

Anthem Lights has cultivated a significant online presence, garnering millions of YouTube views through popular covers and mashups of contemporary and Christian songs. Their digital success has made them a notable voice in Christian pop music. In 2023, while they were dropped by Reunion Records, the group has continued to independently release music, including singles like “Greatest Gift” (2023) and “Golden” (2025). They consistently engage with their fanbase through live performances and social media, maintaining their commitment to creating uplifting music.
