IDentity is an award-winning male gospel group known for its mature sound and rich harmonies. Comprised of six men, the group has stepped into a season of ministry that many of them were called to years ago.
Originally known as The Bishops, the group began ministering as children in the 1980s. Through life’s transitions, they took a step back from the spotlight. Over the years, they have been blessed to share the stage with gospel legends such as Commissioned, Thomas Whitfield, Edwin Hawkins, The Winans, Spirit Song, Judah Band, Lisa McClendon and many others. Their performances have included various platforms throughout the country, such as outdoor events, prisons, and churches. As young men, they received two Gospel Music Excellence Awards.
In 2016, God transitioned the group from The Bishops to “Identity,” which was based upon II Corinthians 5:17, Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”
In 2020, IDentity partnered with award-winning producer Chip Dixson to release their second LP, In the Name of Jesus. The album’s title track won Song of the Year at the 2020 Kingdom Image Awards, and in 2023, the same song was nominated for Song of the Decade.
