Redefining the worship of tomorrow

1499 is a mission-driven worship collective serving churches, youth gatherings, recovery spaces, festivals, and public venues—wherever people are hungry for hope.

The band is led by recording artist, Sam Gatto and was created to bring worship outside the walls of the church because YOU and I are the one (1) for (4) whom Jesus left the Ninety-Nine (99).

Luke 15:1-7
