He gained wider recognition through songs such as “This Is a Move,” “Graves Into Gardens,” “Gratitude,” “Praise,” “Too Good to Not Believe,” “Fear Is Not My Future” and “Hard Fought Hallelujah.” Lake has won multiple Grammy and GMA Dove Awards and, in 2026, won the Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song for “Hard Fought Hallelujah” with Jelly Roll. He is married to Brittany Lake and they have three sons. His latest major release is KING OF HEARTS – IN THE ROOM!, a 23-song live album released in June 2026.
Brandon Lake is one of the most prominent contemporary Christian worship artists and songwriters of his generation.
Born Michael Brandon Lake, he came to national prominence through a combination of songwriting, worship leadership and collaborations with major Christian music movements and artists. His career has included associations with Bethel Music, Maverick City Music, Elevation Worship and Seacoast Church.
His music has increasingly crossed conventional genre boundaries. While his foundation is contemporary Christian worship, Lake has incorporated rock, gospel, folk and country influences into his work. His collaborations with artists including Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Bailey Zimmerman and Nick Jonas have further expanded his musical reach.
The Recording Academy currently credits Lake with six Grammy wins and 15 nominations. His latest Grammy victory came in 2026, when “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” performed with Jelly Roll, won Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song.
Beyond recording, Lake remains a worship pastor and songwriter associated with Seacoast Church in Charleston, South Carolina.
⸻
Brandon Lake’s Age, Birth and Early Life
When Was Brandon Lake Born?
Brandon Lake was born June 21, 1990.
As of August 2026, he is 36 years old.
His full name is Michael Brandon Lake, and music databases identify his birthplace as Dallas, Texas. He was raised primarily in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, and later became closely connected to the Charleston area.
There is an important distinction between his birthplace and his upbringing: Dallas, Texas is identified as his birthplace in major music-reference sources, while Myrtle Beach/Charleston, South Carolina is where his upbringing and ministry story are generally located.
Growing Up in South Carolina
Lake grew up in a Christian family in South Carolina.
His father, Mac Lake, was a pastor and played an important role in his early exposure to ministry and music. Lake learned some of his first guitar chords from his father and later taught himself additional guitar skills through YouTube.
During his teenage years, he began participating in church worship.
His musical development was therefore closely connected to the church rather than beginning as a conventional commercial music career.
Apple Music describes Lake as having been raised in a religious family and learning guitar from his father, who was a former worship leader.
⸻
Brandon Lake’s Education
Detailed information about Lake’s formal higher education is not as extensively documented in authoritative public sources as his music and ministry career.
A contemporary 2011 engagement announcement published by The Citizen states that Lake was a 2008 graduate of Wando High School in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, and a 2009 graduate of Ocean Edge School of Worship. At that point, he was already working as a worship leader at Seacoast Church.
Education Timeline
Institution Qualification/Role Source-supported detail
Wando High School High school Graduated 2008
Ocean Edge School of Worship Worship training Graduated 2009
Seacoast Church Ministry/worship leadership Began serving as worship leader
The available evidence does not justify inventing a university degree or field of study for Lake.
⸻
Brandon Lake and Seacoast Church
Seacoast Church became one of the most important environments in Lake’s early ministry development.
As a teenager and young adult, Lake participated in worship and eventually became a worship leader at Seacoast.
A 2011 contemporary report identified him as a worship leader at Seacoast Church in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
Lake’s connection to Seacoast has remained significant even as his recording career expanded internationally.
Contemporary profiles continue to identify him with Seacoast Church, while his own public materials have emphasized Charleston as his home base.
⸻
Brandon Lake’s First Album: Closer
Before signing with a major Christian music organization, Lake took an unusually independent route to releasing his first album.
In 2015, he launched a crowdfunding campaign to finance his debut project.
The campaign sought approximately $23,000 and successfully raised the necessary funds, allowing Lake to release Closer independently in 2016.
The story later became one of the more unusual anecdotes associated with his rise to prominence.
Lake offered contributors an unusual incentive: he would tattoo their surnames on his thigh if they helped finance the project.
According to Lake’s own later retelling, the campaign ultimately resulted in 23 names being tattooed on his leg. The story was revisited in a 2026 People report based on his appearance on CBS Mornings.
What began as an independently financed worship project eventually became the foundation of a career that would lead to Grammy Awards and sold-out arenas.
⸻
Brandon Lake Joins Bethel Music
A major turning point came in 2019, when Lake joined the Bethel Music artist collective.
He released his version of Tasha Cobbs Leonard’s “This Is a Move,” which he co-wrote with Cobbs Leonard.
The song became his first significant charting single and helped establish him nationally within contemporary Christian music.
The recording also earned Lake his first Grammy nomination, for Best Gospel Performance/Song at the 2020 Grammy Awards.
At the 2019 GMA Dove Awards, “This Is a Move” won Gospel Worship Recorded Song of the Year.
The success demonstrated that Lake’s strongest asset was not simply his voice. His songwriting ability was becoming equally important to his career.
⸻
“This Is a Move” and the First Major Breakthrough
“This Is a Move” became a defining early song for Lake.
His collaboration with Tasha Cobbs Leonard connected contemporary worship with the broader gospel music audience and established him as a songwriter capable of working across Christian musical traditions.
The song received Grammy recognition and a Dove Award, making it an important milestone in Lake’s career.
It also opened the door for further collaborations with major Christian artists and worship collectives.
⸻
House of Miracles
In 2020, Lake released House of Miracles, his second studio album.
The album was released through Bethel Music and included songs such as:
* “I Need a Ghost”
* “Just Like Heaven”
* “Gratitude”
The album reached No. 6 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart.
“Gratitude” subsequently became one of the most recognizable songs of Lake’s career.
⸻
“Gratitude”: The Song That Changed Brandon Lake’s Career
“Gratitude” became a defining song for Brandon Lake.
The song’s success extended far beyond the album on which it first appeared and helped establish Lake as a leading worship songwriter.
It eventually became a major live worship anthem and one of the songs most closely associated with his name.
Lake’s songwriting and vocal performance on “Gratitude” also contributed to his growing recognition at the GMA Dove Awards and K-LOVE Fan Awards.
In 2023, “Gratitude” won Song of the Year at the K-LOVE Fan Awards. K-LOVE later noted that Lake became the first artist to win Song of the Year with a label debut selection.
⸻
Brandon Lake and Elevation Worship
Lake also became a major collaborator with Elevation Worship.
One of the most important collaborations was “Graves Into Gardens,” the title track of Elevation Worship’s album of the same name.
Lake co-wrote and performed on the song.
The collaboration became a major Christian music success and earned Lake further recognition as a songwriter.
He also appeared on other Elevation Worship projects, helping establish a creative relationship between the Charleston-based worship leader and the Charlotte-based worship collective.
⸻
“Too Good to Not Believe”
Lake’s songwriting relationship with Bethel Music continued with “Too Good to Not Believe.”
The song became another significant worship anthem and was performed by Lake and Bethel Music.
It reinforced a recurring characteristic of his songwriting: combining personal testimony and biblical faith with large-scale congregational worship.
⸻
Brandon Lake and Maverick City Music
Lake’s career also intersected significantly with Maverick City Music.
He became associated with the collective and collaborated on several major recordings.
Among them was “Fear Is Not My Future,” featuring Lake alongside Maverick City Music, Kirk Franklin and Chandler Moore.
The song became another major award-winning collaboration.
The Recording Academy lists Lake among the songwriters and performers associated with the recording, which won the 2023 Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song.
The project also formed part of the wider creative relationship between Lake and Maverick City Music.
⸻
HELP!
In 2022, Lake released **_HELP! **, an unusually personal project dealing with emotional vulnerability and mental health.
The album was born from a difficult period in Lake’s life.
He later spoke publicly about experiencing depression, anxiety and the physical and emotional consequences of the intense pace of his rising career.
Rather than presenting worship as an expression of uninterrupted strength, HELP! allowed Lake to explore doubt, exhaustion, dependence and the need for God in difficult seasons.
The album therefore became an important part of his public story—not simply as a music release, but as an expression of vulnerability.
⸻
Brandon Lake’s Struggle With Depression
In 2024, Lake spoke publicly about his experience with depression and what he described as the effects of an intense period of career growth.
His openness helped broaden conversations within Christian music about mental health, burnout and the pressures associated with ministry and touring.
His experience should not be reduced to a promotional storyline. Lake has described the period as genuinely difficult, and his later comments have emphasized the importance of health, family, rest and sustainable ministry.
His official press material says the experience contributed to the themes of HELP! and subsequently influenced how he structures his touring schedule.
⸻
Coat of Many Colors
In 2023, Lake released Coat of Many Colors, his fourth studio album.
The project was released on October 20, 2023, through Provident Label Group.
The 16-track album included:
* “Coat of Many Colors”
* “Praise You Anywhere”
* “Count ’Em”
* “Miracle Child”
* “Tear Off the Roof”
The album debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Christian Albums chart and became Lake’s first No. 1 on that chart.
“Praise You Anywhere” also reached No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Christian Songs chart.
The album received a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards.
⸻
“Praise You Anywhere”
“Praise You Anywhere” became one of the biggest songs associated with Coat of Many Colors.
The song’s success contributed significantly to the album’s commercial performance and to Lake’s increasing profile outside the traditional worship-music audience.
The album also earned recognition at the GMA Dove Awards.
⸻

⸻
Brandon Lake and Jelly Roll
One of the biggest developments in Lake’s career was his collaboration with country/hip-hop artist Jelly Roll.
The result was “Hard Fought Hallelujah.”
Rather than treating faith as a polished or distant concept, the song drew heavily on the idea of worship emerging from struggle.
Lake told K-LOVE that he wanted to work with someone who had a compelling and difficult story and identified Jelly Roll as the person who came immediately to mind.
The collaboration became a major crossover success.
It ultimately won the 2026 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song.
⸻
King of Hearts
Lake released his fifth studio album, King of Hearts, on June 13, 2025.
The 16-track album was released through Provident Label Group/Sony Music Entertainment.

The album received a 2026 Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album.
⸻
“Hard Fought Hallelujah”
“Hard Fought Hallelujah” became one of Lake’s most significant career records.
The song was co-written by Brandon Lake, Chris Brown, Steven Furtick and Benjamin Hastings, with Jelly Roll joining Lake on the recording.
The song’s central idea is worship that emerges from hardship rather than comfort.
Its success was particularly significant because it connected Lake’s established Christian audience with Jelly Roll’s much broader mainstream audience.
The recording won the 2026 Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song.
⸻
Brandon Lake’s Expansion Into Country Music
Beginning particularly strongly in 2025 and 2026, Lake increasingly collaborated with mainstream country artists.
His musical relationships have included:
* Jelly Roll
* Cody Johnson
* Bailey Zimmerman
* Lainey Wilson
This has created a new lane in Lake’s career: Christian music that retains explicit faith themes while borrowing from country songwriting and Americana traditions.
The development has been significant enough that Lake has spoken about Christian music’s growing presence in spaces traditionally dominated by secular music.
⸻
“When a Cowboy Prays”
Lake released “When a Cowboy Prays” in September 2025 and later released a version featuring country singer Cody Johnson in January 2026.
The song combines country imagery with Christian themes and became another example of Lake’s expanding musical vocabulary.
The Cody Johnson version was released on January 9, 2026.
⸻
Brandon Lake and Bailey Zimmerman
In March 2026, Lake collaborated with country artist Bailey Zimmerman on “Just Believe.”
The single was released on March 13, 2026.
The collaboration further demonstrated Lake’s movement into country-oriented Christian music while maintaining his identity as a worship artist.
⸻
Brandon Lake and Lainey Wilson
Lake also collaborated with Lainey Wilson on “The Jesus I Know Now.”
The song was released on April 3, 2026, through Provident Label Group/Sony Music.
The recording combines Lake’s contemporary Christian worship background with Wilson’s country style.
⸻
Brandon Lake and Nick Jonas
In May 2026, Lake released “The Author” with Nick Jonas.
The song was released on May 1, 2026 through Provident Label Group and Sony Music.

Brandon Lake’s Wife
Who Is Brandon Lake’s Wife?
Brandon Lake is happily married to his heartthrob, Brittany Ann Schneider Lake, commonly known publicly as Brittany Lake. The couple got married on 5th February, 2011, at Seacoast Church in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.
Their relationship began before Lake’s national music career took off, making Brittany a part of his journey from local worship leader to internationally recognized recording artist.
Brandon and Brittany Lake have three sons - Blaise, Beau, and Banner.
Lake has spoken about the importance of family and has deliberately structured aspects of his touring life around maintaining time at home.
A 2025 profile on his official website described the family living outside Charleston and noted that Lake designed his touring schedule with family and personal health in mind.
Brandon Lake’s Family
Lake’s family has been an important part of his public testimony.
His father, Mac Lake, was a pastor and influenced his early exposure to Christian ministry and guitar.
His own marriage and fatherhood have subsequently become recurring themes in his public conversations.
The 2011 wedding report identifies Mac Lake as Brandon’s father and records that the family had roots in Georgia and South Carolina.
Interestingly, Mac Lake also appears with Brandon on the 2026 live project, where they perform an acoustic version of “Daddy’s DNA.”
⸻
Brandon Lake’s Ministry
Although Brandon Lake is widely known as a recording artist, worship ministry remains central to his identity.
He began leading worship while young, served at Seacoast Church and later became associated with Bethel Music, Maverick City Music and Elevation Worship.
His songs are often written with congregational worship in mind.
This is one reason songs such as “Gratitude,” “Praise,” “Graves Into Gardens,” “Too Good to Not Believe” and “Hard Fought Hallelujah” have travelled beyond Lake’s own recordings.
His public comments repeatedly frame music as a means of helping people encounter God rather than simply as entertainment.
⸻
Brandon Lake and Sons of Sunday
Lake is also a member of Sons of Sunday, a Christian worship collective featuring:
* Steven Furtick
* Brandon Lake
* Chandler Moore
* Chris Brown
* Leeland Mooring
* Pat Barrett
The group formed in late 2024 and subsequently released its self-titled project through Elevation Worship Records and Provident Label Group.
The collective represents another dimension of Lake’s career: collaborative songwriting and worship outside the traditional solo-artist model.
⸻

6 Grammy wins and 15 nominations.
His Grammy-winning credits include work associated with:
* Breathe with Maverick City Music
* “Kingdom”
* “Fear Is Not My Future”

His early major victory came for “This Is a Move”, while later awards recognized his songwriting and worship recordings.

⸻
Brandon Lake’s Musical Style
Lake’s music is rooted in contemporary Christian worship, but his sound increasingly draws from several genres. His musical influences and styles include:
* Contemporary worship
* Christian pop
* Gospel
* Christian rock
* Folk
* Country
* Southern gospel
This genre flexibility has become particularly visible since 2025, when Lake began collaborating more frequently with country artists.
Rather than abandoning contemporary worship, he has used country and other genres to communicate Christian themes to audiences who might not ordinarily listen to worship music.
⸻
Brandon Lake’s Influence on Contemporary Christian Music
Lake’s influence comes from more than his vocal performances.
He has become a prolific collaborative songwriter.
His catalogue connects some of the most influential worship movements and artists of the past decade:
Bethel Music → Elevation Worship → Maverick City Music → Passion → Seacoast Church → Sons of Sunday
He has also collaborated with artists from different parts of the Christian and mainstream music industries.
That ability to move between musical communities is arguably one of the defining characteristics of his career.
⸻
Brandon Lake’s Approach to Worship
Lake’s public ministry philosophy places strong emphasis on authenticity.
His HELP! era demonstrated that worship music can address emotional pain rather than only triumph.
His later work, particularly King of Hearts and “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” continued this theme by presenting faith as something that can emerge through suffering, uncertainty and personal struggle.
In a 2025 interview with the Recording Academy, Lake said his goal was not simply celebrity but to lead and shepherd people’s hearts.
That emphasis helps explain why his songs frequently combine highly personal language with congregational worship structures.

Editorial Notes
1.
⸻
4. His Bethel/Maverick City status needs careful wording
Older biographies frequently say:
“Brandon Lake is a member of Bethel Music and Maverick City Music.”
That wording can become stale.
Current sources describe him as a former member of Maverick City Music, while his Bethel association is likewise best treated historically rather than assuming it is his current exclusive affiliation.
He remains strongly connected to Seacoast Church and continues extensive collaboration across the Christian worship ecosystem.
⸻
5. The Grammy number is current and should be updated
The Recording Academy currently lists:
6 wins — 15 nominations.
This is substantially more current than older biographies that describe Lake merely as “Grammy-nominated.”
The 2026 Grammy for “Hard Fought Hallelujah” should therefore be prominent in the biography.
⸻
6. 2026 is an important part of the biography
Many existing Brandon Lake biographies stop around Coat of Many Colors or King of Hearts.
That would make them substantially outdated.
This article incorporates the major 2026 developments:
* Grammy win for “Hard Fought Hallelujah”
* K-LOVE Artist of the Year
* K-LOVE Male Artist of the Year
* “When a Cowboy Prays” with Cody Johnson
* “Just Believe” with Bailey Zimmerman
* “The Jesus I Know Now” with Lainey Wilson
* “The Author” with Nick Jonas
* KING OF HEARTS – IN THE ROOM! live album
* continuing King of Hearts touring
This is one of the strongest opportunities for New Man to outperform older biography pages.
⸻
7. Family
8. Mental-health
The information is relevant because Lake himself has connected that period to his songwriting and later approach to touring and health.
