Leeland’s debut album, Sound of Melodies, was Grammy-nominated for "Best Pop/Contemporary Gospel Album" in 2006. Though lead singer Leeland Mooring was only 17 during the recording of their debut album, the band's music has been widely acclaimed. Their melodic-driven sound has drawn comparison with Coldplay and Keane. Notably, the band has worked closely with Christian music legend Michael W. Smith. The five band members - Leeland Dayton Mooring (lead vocals, guitar), Jack Anthony Mooring (backing vocals, keyboard), Matt Campbell (lead guitar), Jake Holtz (bass) and Mike Smith (drums) – have produced two full-length albums, but it is clear that they are just getting started.
