From Cancer Survivor to Billboard No. 1: Kaleb Carson Steps into the Spotlight with Solo Debut “I Know a Name”

Rising artist Kaleb Carson has stepped into a new chapter with the release of his debut solo single, a soul-filled rendition of the Elevation Worship anthem “I Know A Name.” The powerful declaration of faith follows Carson’s breakout collaboration with Anthony Evans, “You’re Not Finished,” which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Gospel chart and introduced Carson as a compelling new voice in the genre. For Carson, the message behind “I Know A Name” is deeply personal. A cancer survivor, he was diagnosed with leukemia at just two years old and given only a 10 percent chance of survival. Following complications from a life-saving procedure, doctors told his family he would likely never speak. Today, the singer—once told he might never have a voice—uses it to point others toward the hope that has carried him throughout his life.

“I recorded ‘I Know A Name’ because I wanted to remind people that no matter what life looks like or what you may be facing, there is still power, hope, and peace in the name of Jesus,” Carson shares. “This song feels personal to me because I’ve seen God carry me through so many different seasons of my own life. My hope is that when people hear it, they’re reminded that they don’t have to have all the answers; they just have to know the One that does.” The single arrives during a breakout season for Carson. In addition to earning his first No. 1 as a recording artist alongside Evans, he has toured with Priscilla Shirer, Anthony Evans, and Chandler Moore, bringing his music and testimony to audiences across the country. That momentum will continue through the remainder of 2026 as Carson joins multi-Platinum R&B icon Babyface on tour as a background singer. From surviving cancer as a child to achieving his first Billboard No. 1, Carson’s story has been marked by the very message at the heart of “I Know A Name”: hope in the midst of circumstances that can seem impossible. With his first solo release, Carson introduces audiences to his artistry, testimony, and sound, and what promises to be a defining new chapter in his career.
