Centurion Records was founded in the early 1980s, emerging as a notable label in the Christian music scene. Initially focused on contemporary Christian music (CCM), Centurion quickly gained recognition for its commitment to high-quality production and diverse musical styles. The label played a significant role in the careers of artists such as Michael W. Smith and Amy Grant, who were pivotal in popularizing CCM during the 1980s and 1990s. Throughout its history, Centurion expanded its catalog to include various genres, including gospel, rock, and pop, reflecting the evolving tastes of its audience. The label's innovative marketing strategies helped it thrive in a competitive industry.
