Music history

In 2011, Royal Tailor released its freshman album, Black & White, which received a nomination at the 54th Grammy Awards for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. The album peaked at No. 190 on the Billboard 200, No. 6 on US Christian Albums and No. 13 on US Independent Albums.[citation needed] In 2013, they released their self-titled album that included "Ready Set Go" (featuring Capital Kings) as its single.[citation needed] The album reached No. 95 on the Billboard 200, No. 3 US Christian Albums and No. 17 US Independent Album.[citation needed] The group disbanded in 2015 when Wells started his solo career.[citation needed]

In 2016 Wells signed to Provident Label Group - Reunion Records as a solo artist,[3] Wells released his first solo single, "Undefeated", on July 1, 2016.[citation needed] It marked a distinct shift from the glossy pop rock sound of Royal Tailor to one that relied more heavily on electronic influences.[citation needed] It also featured Reach Record's rapper KB and served as the soundtrack for Dude Perfect's "World Records Edition" video on YouTube.[citation needed] Wells released his second solo single, "Love Is Action", in August 2016,[4]and his first solo EP, Undefeated EP, on September 12, 2016.[5] "Love Is Action" was No. 1 on Christian Hot AC/CHR Radio for nine weeks.
