Ricky Dillard Earns Two Nominations for 2025 GRAMMY Awards
Congratulations to Ricky Dillard, who has earned two 2025 GRAMMY nominations for Best Gospel Album for his latest Choirmaster II and Best Gospel Performance/Song for "Hold On (Live)" from the album. This marks Dillard's seventh career nomination.
Released in January via Motown Gospel, Choirmaster II showcases his unwavering commitment to delivering soul-stirring music that transcends boundaries and connects with listeners on a profound level. The LP is a powerful testament to Dillard's musical prowess and spiritual depth that has captivated audiences for over three-decades
"We are beyond thrilled for Ricky and these well-deserved GRAMMY nominations," says Walter Thomas, Vice President, Artist Development of Motown Gospel/TAMLA. "Ricky's artistry and passion for gospel music shine through in everything he creates, and these nominations are a testament to his incredible talent and dedication. We are so proud to have him as part of the Motown Gospel family and can't wait to see how his music continues to impact lives and elevate the gospel genre."
Earlier this year, Dillard served as the gospel music arranger for the new film/musical adaption of The Color Purple starring Fantasia, Taraji P. Henson, Danielle Brooks, and more -- to which he brought a wealth of experience and musical expertise to. His unparalleled expertise in the genre, coupled with his profound understanding of the emotional and spiritual depth embedded in gospel music, made him the ideal collaborator for this iconic production.
As a visionary in his own right, Dillard's involvement elevated the musical experience of The Color Purple, marrying thought-provoking narrative with uplifting resonance -- creating an unforgettable cinematic and musical journey for audiences worldwide.
