For the past three decades, Grammy® Award-winning choir director Hezekiah Walker has become the face of the black Gospel choir with his classic hits, “Souled Out,” “Grateful,” and “I Need You To Survive.” In 2014 he set Billboard history with the longest running #1 song on Billboard’s Gospel charts, “Every Praise.” Walker’s first 13 albums have all also been featured on Billboard’s Top Gospel Chart, four of which have earned him 10 Stellar Awards. His 14th forthcoming album, “Azusa The Next Generation,” was released in 2013. Over his almost three decade career, Walker has collaborated with Mariah Carey, Jon Bon Jovi, Justin Timberlake, Whitney Houston and P. Diddy.
Known for challenging the ears of contemporary gospel listeners, Tye Tribbett has helped redefine gospel music with two #1 albums, which earned him two Stellar Awards and three Grammy® nominations. Founder of G.A. (also known as Greater Anointing), he has shared the stage with artists including Gloria Estefan, LeAnn Rimes, Elton John, Luther Vandross and Stevie Wonder. Other musical collaborations and features include artists such as Faith Hill, F.O.C.U.S., Mary Mary, Jessica Simpson, Justin Timberlake, Sting, The Roots, John Mellencamp, Mary J. Blige, and others. In addition to his first four records with G.A., fans worldwide are currently raving over his independent 2013 release of Greater Than, which debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Chart, #9 on Billboard’s Top 200, and #4 on iTunes.
Award-winning singer, songwriter and producer, VaShawn Mitchell, released an all new EP this August, titled ‘GOD MY GOD.’ The extended play release includes Mitchell’s rising new radio single, “God My God,” along with three additional songs, ”Amaze Me,” featuring Anthony Brown, ”This Is To You,” and “Your Name...The Moment.” The songs are part of an epic, two-part live recording in Chicago and Atlanta. The full-length live recording album, UNSTOPPABLE, will be released this fall.
