Hawk Nelson is a Canadian Christian band formed in 2000 by former lead singer Jason Dunn. Jason Dunn left the band to pursue a solo project entitled Abandon Progress in 2012. During that time the band talked about who was going to take over the role as lead singer and it was decided that guitarist Jon Steingard would fill the role.

Since then, their sound and lineup have changed, with original members Jon Steingard and Daniel Biro being joined by Micah Kupier and David Niacaris.

As of 2018, they have released eight studio albums.
