"This award is just another way that God has shown an incredible amount of favor to Building429 in a year that has been amazing to say the least," says Roy. "It was a privilege to share the stage with Stephen Curtis Chapman and Brandon Heath to perform at the ceremony for a room full of prolific hit writers, and a memory we will not soon forget. We also count it an honor to carry the banner of BMI Song of the Year as we continue to expect even greater things as our new record, We Won't Be Shaken, begins to take flight. Thank you to BMI and all the incredible staffers, writers, artists, and publishers represented last night."

Building 429 has just wrapped up a five-week promo tour in support of its latest project, We Won't Be Shaken, which debuted last week at No. 1 on Billboard's Christian Albums Chart. The title track is the new single and is already No. 6 on the Billboard NCA chart, No. 3 AC Indicator chart, and No. 2 Hot AC/CHR chart after only three months of radio airplay. We Won't Be Shaken is still garnering strong media support with Billboard Magazine saying, Mixing thoughtful ballads like "Set A Fire" with raucous uptempos like "Revolution," the band delivers a powerfully inspiring collection. Fans will be able to hear these inspirational songs on an upcoming SiriusXM appearance, while Building 429 is the cover feature this month for CCM Magazine and will be the cover story for iBelieve Magazine next month. Other upcoming press coverage includes a Christian Post interview and Parenting Teens story in the September issue.

Building 429 will have a busy touring season throughout the rest of the year with several upcoming festival dates that include, Creation Northeast, Spirit West Coast, LifeLight Festival, and Night of Joy at Disney World in September.

The title track hit No. 1 on the CHR chart and Top 5 on Billboard's National Christian Audience Chart. Follow up single "Made For You" reached Top 5 on the Christian CHR charts, while the project's third single, "Where I Belong," set precedent as the longest-running No. 1 song on the Billboard Christian Audience chart at 15 consecutive weeks. "Where I Belong" was Billboard's 2012 Christian Song of the Year, Christian AC Song of the Year Christian Songs Artist of the Year and Christian AC Songs Artist of the Year.
