Disciple And Honor & Glory Celebrate First Career Grammy Nomination For “Firm Foundation (He Won’t)”

Disciple and their worship project Honor & Glory are celebrating their first career Grammy nomination for “Firm Foundation (He Won’t).” The track is nominated for Best Contemporary/Christian Performance Song of the Year.

“Honestly, we’re speechless,” the band says. “This is a recognition we never saw coming. It’s particularly meaningful that the nominated song is one that recognizes and reveres God’s revolutionary love, which has truly been the foundation of everything Disciple has accomplished.”

The song is Honor & Glory’s exhilarating take on a Cody Carnes track popularized by Maverick City. “Firm Foundation (He Won’t)” lays down a rock-solid foundation of faith in Jesus that can withstand the worst storms of the world.

“Almost everything about being a Christian is unnatural,” Kevin Young, who fronts both bands, explains. “To trust when you don’t have the answers. To love someone who would hurt you. To have joy in chaos. Why would you do that? But when you experience Jesus and you walk with Him, you realize that He has this way of taking chaos, taking tragedy, taking storms, and somehow growing you through that. You come out the other side thankful for the storm.

The story that is planted deep inside of you because of that storm, the story of redemption and the story of victory and the story of triumph over tragedy, doesn’t come without a storm.”

This Grammy nomination is a career first for Disciple, who has been a mainstay in the heavy Christian music genre for 30 years. The distinction adds to a list of accolades that includes 15 Dove Award nominations and 18 career #1 singles.

The band’s most recent release, “If You Say So,” has also been rapidly climbing the charts. The Grammy nod pays homage to the duality Disciple has always reconciled in their music: a high-adrenaline rock sound with a worshipful, gospel-first heart.

Disciple is comprised of Kevin Young (vocals), Josiah Prince (guitar), Andrew Stanton (guitar) and Joey West (drums). Honor & Glory draws on additional guitar and vocal talents from Dane Allen. Both bands are currently partnered with BEC Recordings.

Kingdmusic Earns 4 Nominations At The SABC Crown Gospel Music Awards

South African gospel music artist,  Kingdmusic, has secured four nominations at the prestigious 17th SABC Crown Gospel Music  Awards. As the second most nominated artist this year, he will also grace the Crown Gospel  Awards stage for the first time on November 24, 2024, at Gallagher Convention Centre in  Johannesburg, performing in front of millions of viewers across South Africa and neighbouring  countries who will get to watch the broadcast on SABC 1. 

The nominations highlight Kingdmusic’s versatility and impact, encompassing a wide range of  categories: 

  1. Best Gospel Rap – Provider featuring IMRSQD 
  2. Best Gospel Album – Hold On album 
  3. Best Contemporary Song – Jesus 
  4. Best Gospel Music Video – Protect Me featuring Camidoh 

This recognition reflects Kingdmusic’s pioneering efforts in Urban Gospel and Contemporary  Christian Music (CCM) within South Africa, genres he has championed since the early days of  his career. “I received a lot of pushbacks at the beginning of my career because South Africa is  a traditional gospel country. If you want to be successful as a gospel singer here, people say  you must follow that path.

But I kept making music that was authentic to me and reflect my  alone time with Jesus,” he shared. His perseverance has not only paid off, but it has also helped  pave the way for other gospel artists exploring contemporary styles. 

These nominations come on the heels of recent wins at the Independent National Gospel Music  Awards, where he was honored as Best Songwriter and received the award for Best  Contemporary Gospel Album for Hold On. Additionally, he holds a total of 10 awards to date,  including the prestigious South African Music Award he won in 2022 for Best Contemporary Faith Music Album for his self-titled album Denga.

Kingdmusic’s journey has been one of resilience and authenticity, and his rise continues to  inspire fans across the continent. His upcoming performance at the Crown Gospel Music  Awards will undoubtedly be a career-defining moment, a celebration of the artist’s dedication to  creating music that resonates with both local and international audiences.

Cory Asbury Covers “I Hope You Dance”

Multi-platinum selling, GRAMMY Award nominee Cory Asbury debuts his cover of “I Hope You Dance.”

I was a freshman in high school when this song came out by Lee Ann Womack. The first time I ever heard it was on an old boombox-radio in the kitchen of The Sunset restaurant where I worked after school. I remember it vividly. I was cutting cabbage and the song stopped me in my tracks. I immediately fell in love with it. Had it on repeat for months. Hope y’all enjoy my humble take on it. It’s the first of many covers to come (very soon)  -Asbury
