TobyMac

With more than 16 million units in career sales and a whopping seven GRAMMY Awards, TobyMac’s career continues on the fast track.

Each of his six studio solo projects have achieved Gold certification, a first for any artist in the history of his label, Capitol Christian Music Group. Among those is 2012’s EYE ON IT, which debuted atop the Billboard 200, only the third Christian album ever to do so. THE ELEMENTS, his latest GRAMMY-nominated, full collection of music, boasted “Everything,” “Scars,” “Edge of My Seat,” “See The Light” and more alongside the chart-topper, RIAA Gold Certified “I just need U.” His most recent singles, “21 Years,” “Help Is On the Way (Maybe Midnight),” “Promised Land,” “The Goodness (feat. Blessing Offor),” “Everything About You (feat. Marlee)” and “Show Up Choose Love (feat. Jon Reddick),” are available wherever you stream music, along with his GRAMMY nominated seventh studio project, LIFE AFTER DEATH.

Mac Powell

Mac Powell, originally from Alabama, moved to Atlanta, GA as a sophomore in high school where he would soon co-found the Christian rock band Third Day. Throughout their nearly three-decade career, the band sold over 10 million albums, earned four Grammy Awards, one American Music Award, 24 Dove Awards, and was inducted into the Georgia Music Hall

of Fame. Since Third Day’s farewell tour in 2018 Mac released his debut solo Christian album NEW CREATION on October 15^th, 2021 which landed at NO.1 on the Top Christian & Gospel album chart. “River of Life,” the debut single from NEW CREATION became a Top 10 hit at Christian radio followed by the multi-week title track, “New Creation,” which spent 7 weeks at NO. 2 and 19 weeks inside the top 10.

Terrian

Gotee Records’ powerhouse vocalist Terrian recently announced her debut full-length album, GIVE IT TIME.

“Waiting is something we are all familiar with,” shares Terrian about her new song and title track. “Waiting brings our lack of trust in God, our insecurities, pride, fears and worries all to the surface.  Sometimes, we don’t realize all of that is hiding in us. Yet, the Lord uses it to show us that while we’re waiting, it’s not just the outcome He’s concerned with, it’s seeing us whole. Seeing us fully surrendered to Him. Seeing us lay down sins we’ve held on to for too long.  Let the Holy Spirit transform you while you wait. Give it time, friends, He sees. He most certainly knows.”

The title track of her new album received elite placement on digital playlists release week including Spotify’s New Music Friday list along with their New Music Friday Christian and Top Christian & Gospel lists.  At Pandora, Terrian graced the cover art of the Coffeehouse Christian list and featured on the New Christian Music Now list.  Amazon gave her the No. 1 spot on Amazon Music’s Fresh Christian playlist as well as the cover of the Fresh Christian list.

Her new album will also feature Terrian’s latest radio single, “Big God,” a Top 25 Christian AC single receiving airplay from more than 40 AC stations including the K-LOVE network and SiriusXM’s The Message.

Named as Pandora’s Artist to Watch in 2021, Terrian has been building to this album debut. Receiving her first No. 1 single for “Light It Up” in 2021 when she released her debut EP, Genesis of Terrian, Terrian has developed her own unique style.  She is currently on tour with TobyMac and the Diverse City band this month with MercyMe and Zach Williams. She will also be part of the 2024 “TobyMac Hits Deep Tour” with Cory Asbury, Mac Powell, Tasha Layton, and Gotee Records label-mate Jon Reddick.
