Critical Mass was founded by David Wang in 1996. The first album, Faith Looks Up, won awards for Best Modern Rock/Alternative Album from the United Catholic Music and Video Association and led the band to producer Andrew Horrocks, who helped bring Critical Mass' music to a new level of professionalism and polish on their sophomore album, Completely, in 2000. This album garnered Best Rock Album from the Canadian Gospel Music Association and caught the attention of the organizers of World Youth Day 2002.

The members were very honoured to have been chosen to provide the musical accompaniment for the Papal Welcoming Ceremony and the Papal Vigil, which drew crowds of nearly 380,000 and 600,000 respectively. Numerous personnel occured after this historic event and David Wang returned to the studio in 2003 to create a project which continues the musical journey for the first two studio albums. A new band has been formed and looks forward to more extensive touring in the future.
