Dove Award-Winning Christian Rock Band

Skillet is a Christian rock band that formed in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1996. The band currently consists of husband John (lead vocals, bass) and wife Korey Cooper (rhythm guitar, keyboards, backing vocals) along with Jen Ledger (drums, vocals) and Seth Morrison (lead guitar).

Two of Skillet's albums, 2003's Collide and 2006's Comatose, received Grammy nominations. In 2019, Skillet released their tenth studio album, Victorious. They have received a number of the Gospel Music Association's Dove Awards.

Skillet was recognized on February 1, 2016, as having recorded the biggest digital single in the history of Christian music since their song "Monster" had garnered over 2.6 million sales. It was certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA, was the number one streaming Christian song of 2015, and was the number eight streaming rock song of 2015.

Skillet went through several line-up changes early in their career, leaving founder John Cooper as the only original member remaining in the band. They are known for a relentless touring schedule, which garnered them a top-five ranking in the Hardest Working Bands of 2010 by Songkick.com.
