Holly Halliwell, an up-and-comer in the Christian pop music scene, has signed to Integrity Music’s Integrated Music Rights platform. Known for her heartfelt lyrics and dynamic pop sound, Holly is poised to bring a fresh energy to the genre.

Holly’s musical journey began in the small town of Hoopeston, IL, where she grew up harmonizing on bluegrass songs with her dad, leading worship at her local church, and immersing herself in music at school. Inspired by her musical family and a handful of classic acts, she started writing songs at the tender age of 11, crafting melodies in her head before transferring them to piano.

Holly’s involvement in church youth conferences ignited her faith, leading her to merge her passion for music with her devotion to God. Her musical talents and charismatic presence shone brightly when she won her hometown’s pageant in 2016. College led to her meeting her future husband, Walter Halliwell, who is also a producer, and the pair began touring after graduation, performing hundreds of concerts around the country in support of other artists.

Feeling led to focus on her own music, Holly stepped off the road just before the COVID-19 pandemic pause, which provided her the perfect opportunity to write and produce her own songs, with Walter at the production helm. Their hard work and dedication paid off, resulting in Holly having the opportunity to record one of her songs with Grammy award-winning producer Seth Mosley, and the other four with Walter, culminating in over 500K streams on her five independent singles. Holly has grown an impressive social media community that includes 289K followers on TikTok and a reach of over seven million.

Now based in Nashville, Tennessee, Holly is committed to bringing a new pop energy to the Christian music scene with her honest and hopeful lyrics. Her debut single, “Stay,” has been released on all streaming platforms, and the first single of her two-part EP is set to release this year, with Part 1 coming early 2025. Listen to “Stay” HERE. Holly also recently signed with First Company Management for artist management and with Platform Artists for booking.

“We are delighted to welcome Holly Halliwell to the First Company Management family,” said Dave Wagner, General Manager at FCM. “Her passion for her faith and her music is truly inspiring, and we believe she has a bright future ahead in the Christian music industry.”

“When we heard the first few song demos from Holly, we immediately wanted to partner with her for booking,” said Ember Tanksley, Platform Artists. “She has a fresh sound, seamlessly blending worship and pop together, and a ministry mindset that relates to a wide demographic.”

The Gospel Music Association announced the 55th annual Dove Awards nominees on July 24th extending Daywind Music Groupwith the honor of 9 nominations. Daywind Music Group solidified its position as a leading force within the Christian/Gospel music industry as the exceptional talent of its artists and songwriters were highlighted.

In response to the nominations, nominees expressed their gratitude for the recognition.

“Thank you so much to the GMA, Daywind records and my peers for these two nominations,” said Joseph Habedank. “autobiography is truly the most personal album I’ve ever written and released. To see it recognized in this way is so humbling”

Karen Peck stated, “We are extremely honored and grateful for our Dove nomination. A few days ago we sang “Sheaves” at our Mom’s Heaven Celebration. This song is dear to our hearts. We pray it will continue to encourage hurting hearts… ‘He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.’ – Psalms 126:6.”

Gary Casto of the Tribute Quartet said, “It’s been fun to watch the songs from our Quartet Tribute series (produced by Gerald Wolfe) gain breaths of fresh air. The fact that this latest volume (Vol. 3) has garnered a Dove Award nomination really is a testament to the intrinsic value these songs still hold today.”

Jerry Cole from Authentic Unlimited expressed, “We are humbled and honored to be recognized amongst the great talent in the Christian/Gospel genre. We are deeply grateful to our fans, our team at Daywind Music Group, and the Gospel Music Association for this incredible honor.”

Additionally, TrueSong member Jay Arview added, “To say we are humbled and honored would be an understatement. We are so incredibly grateful for every opportunity to share the good news with our music and give God all the glory!”

Joining in on congratulating the Daywind Music Group artists, Dusty Wells, director of A&R/label relations of Daywind Music Group, stated, “Congratulations to the incredible talents at Daywind Music Group along with all of the other nominees and companies on your well-deserved nominations for the 2024 Gospel Music Association Dove Awards! Your dedication, passion, and faith continue to inspire and uplift us all with the incredible music you are sharing with a world that desperately needs to hear the message of Jesus.  Here’s to celebrating the music that brings us closer to God and each other.

In a world filled with noise, “I Believe” focuses on what truly matters; God’s truth about who we are. Emmanuel Dickson wrote this song in 2017 during a period of personal struggle and self-discovery. The song served as an assurance that God’s promises would be fulfilled, and all he needed to do was believe.

“I Believe” opens with a spoken word introduction, setting a powerful and reflective tone. It then transitions into a heartfelt performance by Jaddah, whose vocals bring the message to life. Complemented by a small choir, the backing vocals provide a classical blend that enhances the lead, creating a rich and resonant sound.

This song has been performed live multiple times, receiving positive responses from audiences.
Emmanuel Dickson is a gospel artist and songwriter from Lagos, Nigeria. He has been making music since he was a child, inspired by his faith in God and his love for Gospel Music.

“I Believe” is available on all streaming platforms;
