TRIBL MUSIC GROUP CELEBRATES 22 NOMINATIONS
ATLANTA, GA) – July 30, 2025 — TRIBL Music Group, a trailblazing force in Christian and Gospel music, is proud to celebrate a remarkable 22 nominations for the upcoming 56th Annual GMA Dove Awards! The nominations, which span seven diverse categories, reflect TRIBL’s continued commitment to uniting the tribes together through live, moment-driven worship. The 2025 GMA Dove Awards, honoring top Christian and Gospel music artists, will be held Oct. 7 in Nashville.
Leading the nominations is Maverick City Music, the globally renowned collective, which earned three nods this year—further solidifying their position as one of the most influential voices in Christian & Gospel music.
Earning their first nomination is JWLKRS Worship for Here I Am (EP) in the Worship Album of the Year category. Their bold, spirit-led approach to worship music, coupled with a massive support base across social media networks, has made JWLKRS Worship an emerging new artist group that resonates with a new generation of listeners.
Also earning his first-ever Dove nomination is indie hip-hop artist Connor Price for the breakout collaboration “I Need Help” with Maverick City Music. This nod marks a significant moment for genre-crossing creative partnerships under the TRIBL banner.
West Coast favorite Miles Minnick scored a nomination in the Hip-Hop Album category for his acclaimed EP “Christlike, California,” a project that continues to uplift and inspire with its unique fusion of West Coast flavor and kingdom message.
TRIBL Records’ collaborative project “One Hallelujah”, featuring gospel powerhouses Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Israel Houghton, Erica Campbell, Jonathan McReynolds, and Jekalyn Carr was also honored with a nomination. The release made headlines earlier this year after taking home a GRAMMY Award, a testament to the label’s continued impact on global worship.
Music mainstays Chandler Moore and Naomi Raine also received three nominations each, both as artists and as acclaimed songwriters in the worship music space. Moore’s Live in Los Angeles received recognition in the Gospel Worship Album category, while Naomi Raine’s “Rest On Us (Flow) [Live]” got a nod for Gospel Worship Recorded Song.
At the heart of many of these celebrated projects is Jonathan Jay, co-founder of Maverick City Music and a visionary behind the sound that has shaped TRIBL’s rise. Jay received six new nominations this year as both a writer and producer, recognizing his prolific contributions to worship and gospel music that transcends boundaries.
“This year’s nominations are another testament to the power of collaboration,” shares Maverick City Music CEO Jonathan Jay and Insignia Assets Co-Founder/CEO Norman Gyamfi. “Beyond our established artist partners, we’re thrilled to see our newer partnerships receiving recognition from one of Christian & Gospel music’s most prestigious organizations.”

The broadcast will air exclusively on TBN and the TBN+ app on Oct. 10 at 7:30 p.m. and 10 p.m. ET, and will be simulcast on SiriusXM The Message.
