Bio

A bold, genre-defying Christian band based in Detroit, fronted by sibling duo Zach and Maddy Schossau. Rising to recognition as the 2018 CFA Battle of the Bands champions, the group has since amassed over 30 million streams, driven by their breakout hit “Only Ever” (10M+ on Spotify) and placements on shows like Dude Perfect.

Blending pop, rock, soul, and worship, Alive City crafts music that’s both high-energy and deeply personal. Their DIY approach—writing, producing, recording, and mixing everything themselves—results in a fresh sound that pushes past the norms of Christian music. Their mantra: No limits, just Jesus.

From electrifying festival stages to intimate worship nights, Alive City’s versatility and church-rooted foundation allow them to create unforgettable worship experiences. As their impact grows, so does their mission—to reach a generation searching for hope with music that’s honest, fearless, and full of faith.
