In 2007, Waller was signed to the Christian label Beach Street Records and has released his debut album The Blessing in March 2007.[2] He toured with Casting Crowns and Leeland on the spring leg of The Altar and the Door tour, which ended on May 31, 2008.

His single "While I'm Waiting" became an American Christian radio hit after appearing in the movie Fireproof.[3][4]

His third studio album, As for Me and My House, was released May 3, 2011 through City of Peace Records. It includes 11 tracks including the title track "As for Me and My House" and was produced by Jason Hoard.
