The story kind of began with the lead singer Leeland. Rising up to the challenge of keeping worship original, dynamic, and most importantly, genuine, is Leeland Mooring. A fervent young singer/songwriter/worship leader, Leeland experienced the calling for his life at the tender age of 11; when he wrote his first song, Shine. Leeland grew up in Baytown, TX in a musical family that traveled in full time ministry. At a very young age he was singing with his brothers and sisters, which helped to prepare him for his current ministry.

When his family moved back home to pastor a church, they entered Leeland in a talent search offered by Embassy Music in Nashville, where he was a finalist in both the songwriting and artist division. Leelands promising songwriting ability led Embassy to bring him back to Nashville for a workshop where he met with EMI/CMP representative, Kent Coley. Since that time, EMI/CMP has backed him up as a songwriter and Kent Coley came on board as manager.

As a natural extension of his songwriting a band began to form. Made up of his brother Jack Mooring (keyboards/vox), cousin Jake Holtz (bass), and friends Jeremiah Wood (lead guitar) and Mike Smith (drums). After the formation of one cohesive unit, the band began to write new songs. Attracting labels in Nashville and eventually materializing into a full recording contract.

Now just in the embrionic stage of their career, the band Leeland is honored and humbled to step up to be a light to their peers and lead them into a worship experience that is not only new and refreshing but that will edify and uplift them. The sounds of Brit-rock bands such as Coldplay, Delirious, Elbow and U2 are favorites of the band because of the emotional layers involved in their music. Leelands music exemplifies the exciting elements of alternative rock as he seeks to dive in and match heart changing lyrics with soaring anthems of majestic melodies. Now in the studio recording their debut full-length album, no tour dates are currently scheduled. Please stay tuned for more news.
