RiZen, consisting of Adriann and Aundrea Lewis, Kanika Trigg, and Ashley Jones, released its self-titled with Light Records CD RiZen in 2003. The group won a Stellar Award in 2004 for Best New Artist.^[1]

RiZen's second CD, also with Light Records RiZen 2, (Jones-Griffith left the group for personal reasons)was released in 2005. According to Adriann, RiZen 2 is more of RiZen and has a lot to do with the girls' personal experiences. After the release of RiZen 2, Trigg stepped away from the group, leaving it a duo of the Lewis sisters. RiZen won a Stellar Award in 2006 for Best Traditional Group/Duo.^{[citation needed]}

RiZen's third CD, released in 2009 Free, under the Verity Label was produced by urban gospel label artist Fred Hammond, as well as by Aaron Lindsey, Daniel Weatherspoon and RiZen musical director, Ay’Ron Lewis.

RiZen is in the midst of their comeback. All four are back in the fold. They have secured many dates which they are calling The RiZen Reunion Tour! They have comeback with “He’ll Be There” which had very good radio and consumption response.
