The choir was founded by award-winning conductor, Karen Gibson MBE. The group of singers from in and around London draw from various Christian traditions and are dedicated to creating a sound that demonstrates the community they share through their warm energy and enthusiastic performance. Prior to performing in front of nearly 2 billion people at Harry and Meghan's wedding, the largest audience The Kingdom Choir had performed to was just 200 people. Following their show-stopping performance of 'Stand By Me' at the Royal Wedding on 19 May 2018, The Kingdom Choir signed a major record deal with Sony Music UK. They released their debut album 'Stand By Me' on 26th October 2018. The album included the choir’s much-loved rendition of ‘Stand By Me’, which went straight in at Number 1 on the Billboard Gospel Songs Chart, and showcased the pure joy and spiritual essence that runs through all of their performances. Since then, their arrangement of ‘Stand By Me’ has become a viral internet sensation. This year, the Choir celebrate 30 years together.
