Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Jimi Cravity (born Maurice Eugene Willis) is a Christian singer/songwriter and worship leader whose wide-ranging style fuses elements of CCM, rock, R&B, pop, and hip-hop. Working initially in secular music, Cravity signed a publishing deal with Bu Vision/Universal Music Publishing Group in his early twenties, writing and demoing songs that would make their way to artists like Usher and Ludacris. By 2012, he'd begun his own career as a recording artist with a hopeful Christian message. Following his debut EP, Maverick, Cravity tragically lost his two-year-old son to cancer and became involved at Atlanta's Passion City Church, where he eventually began to lead worship. After appearing at the church's annual Passion Conferences, one of his songs was included on the church's popular 2016 studio release, Salvation's Tide Is Rising. He signed with Capitol Christian Group's sixstepsrecords and released his follow-up EP, Heaven, a year later, reaching number 15 on Billboard's Christian chart. ~ Timothy Monger, Rovi
