Tree63

Tree63 is a South African rock band formed in Durban in 1996. Originally named "Tree," the group changed its name to "Tree63" in 2000 due to a naming conflict. The number in their name is a reference to Psalm 63. The band is led by singer-songwriter John Ellis and is known for its blend of rock and worship music. The group gained significant recognition in the contemporary Christian music market in the early 2000s. Their self-titled album *Tree63* won the GMA Dove Award for Rock Album of the Year in 2001. The band is also known for the song "Blessed Be Your Name," which peaked at number 2 on the US Billboard Christian Songs chart. Other songs in their catalog include "Treasure," "Look What You've Done," and "A Million Lights." Tree63 has released several albums, including *The Answer to the Question*, *Sunday!*, and *Land*. The band experienced a period of inactivity between 2009 and 2014 before returning to music in 2024.
