Nate Martin & S.I.G.N. (Singing In God’s Name) was founded in 2016 in the “Birthplace of Gospel Music”, Chicago, IL. SIGN quickly became loved in the city of Chicago for their youthfulness, energy, and passion for God. In 2017, they released their first single entitled “Nothing Too Hard” when Nate was only 16 years old. In 2018, they held their first live album recording at The Powerhouse Chicago, and the next year their debut album “SIGN Language” was released. In the fall of 2019, the group led praise and worship for Fellowship Chicago’s midweek services under Grammy nominated and Stellar award winning Pastor Charles Jenkins.
In 2020, SIGN received an Eddy Award for “Album of the Year” and in 2021 they received a Gospel Music Choice Award for “Group of the Year”. The group has traveled all across the U.S. spreading the gospel through song.
