TYSCOT RECORDS EARNS 3 DOVE AWARD NOMINATIONS
Indianapolis, IN. (July 30, 2025) – The Gospel Music Association has revealed the nominees for the 56th Annual GMA Dove Awards. Tyscot Records, which will celebrate its 50th anniversary next year, is celebrating with three Dove Award nominations.
Gospel music’s coolest crooner, Jason Nelson (Pastor of the Tab church in Windsor Mills, MD), earned two nominations. His seventh album, You Belong: Live in Durham (Jaelyn Song / Tyscot / Fair Tarde), earned a nomination as Gospel Worship Album of the Year. The project was recorded live at World Overcomers Church in Durham, NC in the summer of 2023. The set features pulsating tracks such as “You Over Thing,” the choir groove s “Don’t Worry” (which features Alexis Johnson, Shawn Bigby and Zacardi Cortez) and touching moments such as “Come Home.” Nelson’s song, “Yahweh,” a recent Billboard No.1 single with Melvin Crispell III, earned a nomination as Gospel Worship Song of the Year. Meanwhile, “Made New (Radio Edit),” a new and brilliantly inspiring duet with Madison Ryann Ward, is racing up the charts.
“What an amazing day and year this has been,” Nelson says. “Two Dove nominations is more than I expected. I’m humbled by my peers seeing the value of my music and my team that worked so hard to create this sound from You Belong. God continues to amaze me.”
Then, the legendary Prince of Gospel, John P. Kee, earned a nomination for “Church Medley” in the category of Traditional Gospel Recorded Song of the Year. The track is a fusion of Kee’s 1990s era standards “I Believe,” “I Won’t let Go,” “It Will Be Alright,” “Thank You Lord (He Did It All) and “He’ll Welcome Me.” It’s a preview of Kee’s forthcoming two volume projects, Throwback: An Evening with John P. Kee, an album of new live recordings of some of the biggest hits of Kee’s 40-year career. “I’m so honored,” Kee said. “The Dove Awards have always represented excellence. I’m super glad to be nominated.”
