The Digital Age were a modern-rock Christian band composed of four[1] of the six musicians from the Grammy-nominated,[2] multiple Dove Award-winning[3][4] David Crowder Band. The Digital Age formed in January 2012,[5] following the final performance of the David Crowder * Band at the Passion 2012 conference in Atlanta, Georgia[6] They formed The Digital Age to continue their love of music and to continue their outreach to the youth of the world. In early 2012, the members of The Digital Age constructed a studio in their hometown of Waco, Texas called "Asterisk Sound".[7] On October 9, 2015 The Digital Age released their first Brazilian album in Portuguese.
