Gospel music sensation Casey J made it to the first round of the Gospel Music Association's Dove Awards balloting process. The professional voting members of the 51-year old Christian music institution have until 5 p.m. CST on Tuesday, August 4th to cast their votes in this round that will decide the official nominees for the 46th annual Dove Awards ceremony taking place October 13, 2015 at Lipscomb University's Allen Arena in Nashville, TN. The nominees will be announced during an August 12th press conference at Lipscomb University.
Former Atlanta, GA elementary school teacher Casey J has taken the gospel world by storm with her acoustic soul approach to praise and worship music. Her debut single "Fill Me Up" spent 14 weeks at #1* on Billboard's Gospel Airplay chart and her sophomore radio single "I'm Yours' just cracked the Billboard Gospel Airplay Top 30 this week. Both tracks hail from Casey's #1 album "The Truth." Casey surfaces in these categories:
Gospel Artist of the Year - Casey J (Marquis Boone/Tyscot)
New Artist of the Year - Casey J (Marquis Boone/Tyscot)
Traditional Gospel Recorded Song of the Year - Fill Me Up (Marquis Boone/Tyscot)
Worship Song of the Year - Fill Me Up (Marquis Boone/Tyscot)
Traditional Gospel Recorded Album of the Year - The Truth (Marquis Boone/Tyscot)
Worship Album of the Year - The Truth (Marquis Boone/Tyscot)
Casey J's debut album "The Truth" debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top Gospel Albums chart last month, received a sterling review in the prestigious New York Times and continues to sell briskly. "When I grow up, I want to be like Chrisette Michelle or India Arie," she chuckles. "Although, they are not gospel artists, they have a similar style as me. People and worship are my heart. I want the environment of my performances to be about the worship and not so much about me personally or my artistic persona. I admire Israel Houghton because his music is for everybody."
