History

Royal Tailor was started by Tauren Wells, DJ Cox and Blake Hubbard while they were attending Indiana Bible College. Jarrod Ingram later joined.

After hearing Royal Tailor's music, Leeland and Jack Mooring passed along the band's EP to Jason McArthur, Vice President of A&R of Provident Music Group, who signed them to a record deal. Producers Aaron Lindsey, Chuck Butler and Daniel Kinner produced their debut album, Black & White, which was released on June 7, 2011. It received a nomination for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album for the 54th Grammy Awards.[2]

In 2013, they released their self-titled album that included "Ready Set Go" (featuring Capital Kings) as its single. The album made it to No. 95 on the Billboard 200,[3] No. 3 US Christian Albums,[4] and No. 17 US Independent Album.[5]
