Ka*Pop (pronounced kuh-pop) is a Christian pop act based in Nashville, Tennessee. The band is made up of lead singer David Gallagher, guitarist/vocalist Tyra Elliott and guitarist/vocalist Neal Hager. The three members founded the group in late 2009 after years of developing original songs, video clips, sketches and games aimed at an older elementary school-aged audience.

With the goal of performing for family audiences, Ka*Pop began booking shows in early 2010. They played primarily for churches, youth camps and Christian schools. Concerts were designed to be interactive and included dance pop songs, choreography, video elements, games and live sketch comedy. The members formed Sharp Seventh Productions in the spring of 2010 in order to utilize their songwriting, audio production, screenwriting and video production endeavors. Ka*Pop's first studio album, It's Time To Fly, was released on June 4, 2010 via Sharp Seventh Productions and band member Tyra Elliott's Fields of Gold Publishing.

The band has become known for its central message of "reminding kids that they are icons of Christ - made in God's image." And with the tag line "3 Dads on a Mission," Ka*Pop has begun to broaden that message to include an anti-bullying stance via the "Knock 'Em Down With Love" campaign.
