Christian vocalist Natalie Grant launched her career as a member of the Truth before moving to Nashville, TN in pursuit of a solo career. She signed with Benson Records in 1997 and began working on her self-titled debut, which was released in 1999. By the following year, though, Grant had left the label and struck up a relationship with Pamplin Music, who released her 2001 sophomore album, Stronger. When that label folded, she began a multi-year partnership with Curb Records, who helped her become one of the Christian community's most popular gospel vocalists.
Deeper Life was released in 2003. Grant wrote many of the album's tracks, including "Live for Today," which was nominated for a Dove Award. "No Sign of It" also received some mainstream attention after finding its way onto the movie soundtrack for View from the Top, starring Gwyneth Paltrow. March 2005 saw the release of her next album, Awaken, which was followed up that fall with the Christmas album Believe. Both releases helped Grant win the 2006 Dove Award for Female Vocalist of the Year. She took home the same award in 2007, 2008, and 2009; meanwhile, she continued releasing well-received contemporary Christian albums, including 2008's Relentless and 2010's Love Revolution. ~ Ashleigh Kittle & Andrew Leahey, Rovi
