As far as the song, it is what the title says it is, it is a ‘first draft’ so it’s not necessarily perfected, but it is a preview of the fact that I am tightening up my pen and figuring out what it means to rap, how I rap and the way I rap. It’s a first draft. “
“First Draft” marks a new chapter in her illustrious career. Written by Jackie herself, and produced by Juberlee and Alexandria Dollar, the track demonstrates the artist’s unique blend of vulnerability, transparency and strength.

Today, DREAM Label Group is proud to announce the signing of producer and singer-songwriter Sam Bowman to its DREAM Records roster of artists. The Texas native also releases his debut with DREAM titled “Your Eyes.” A fun, uplifting pop track sure to inspire during the summertime season and beyond. The song was self-produced and written by Sam Bowman. Sam shares the heart behind the song.
“‘Your Eyes’ is based on the first twelve verses of Psalm 139. God sees us and knows us. Whether we’re on the seven seas, or lost in the thick of night, nothing we think or feel escapes His notice- and that’s an encouraging thing for those that love Him!”- Sam Bowman

Worship pastor and recording artist, Ke’Erron (Sims) releases his first single – a live recording – with Integrity Music. Titled “Chances,” the new song is a moving testimony of God’s unfailing love and forgiveness in the artist’s life and the lives of others. It was written with Mitch Wong and one of Ke’Erron’s dear friends, Evan Craft, as they shared stories of God redeeming relationships with their fathers.
The latter also features on the release. Growing up, Ke’Erron’s dad was in and out of jail and battled drug addiction, which left him feeling resentful and alone.
“It was hard for me to receive God’s love because of the perspective of my father,” he recalled, and asked himself, “How do I see the Father rightly if I have this grudge against my own dad?”
“Chances” is his response to that question, and he hopes it will encourage listeners to not give up on their loved ones and to forgive as Christ forgives.
Born in Trinidad and Tobago, Ke’Erron is a bilingual artist (English and Spanish) with a heart for nations and various cultures, aiming to create opportunities for people to experience God through music. His artistry blends pop, worship, CCM and gospel with his primary aim to tell stories of God’s selfless, life-giving love that changes everything.
One thing the believer in Christ should never stop doing is declaring what God has said. Your confession is made unto your salvation. This song will set you on fire as we declare victory by the blood of Jesus and the power of His word. Indeed, no weapon formed against me shall prosper!
This is a declaration of God’s word in songs. We believe and so we speak. This is the spirit of faith.
Be blessed as you listen to “I Have Overcome” by Blessing Airhihen.

Uniekgrace, a multi-talented billboard-charted singer-songwriter, has released a mesmerizing new song titled “HIGHER”.
This vibrant Afrobeat/Afropop track sets the stage with an infectious dance groove that captivates from the first beat to the last, offering a compelling conviction of Uniekgrace’s unwavering devotion to being God’s ambassador on earth.
Uniekgrace’s intention extends beyond its infectious dance appeal; the song seeks to inspire listeners to embrace and celebrate the significance of God’s power and presence in their lives.
“The power in the name of Jesus has saved me more times than I can count”, says Uniekgrace. “I have experienced many low moments as an independent artist but what always baffles me is the way God always lets me understand that I am still on top. I am on a journey, He reminds me. However, even as a christian, I have doubted myself over and over; But the moment I realised that in my low moments, lifting up the name of Jesus is my ticket to freedom and abundance, I had more peace of mind.
HIGHER is my song of conviction in my faith as a Christian and I am fully unashamed of the gospel. It is an energetic afro-gospel sound that will literally shake off depression!
The vibe from the start to finish of the song will make the listener want to listen again.
Creating this song with my producer took me through a lot of emotions, travelling through my up to date seven years journey as an independent artist and still feeling like a winner regardless of all the highs and many lows”.

«Being an artist was never to seek for self glory or any personal agenda» explains Uniekgrace, «I was a rape victim and gospel music was literally my ticket from suicidal attempts, low self esteem and depression, to freedom and intentional living. Once I got my freedom, there was no way I could get my self entangled again in psychological bondage »
PROFESSIONAL WORK AND MUSIC
«I sing everywhere, even in the hospital hallways»
Uniekgrace has been working as a professional nurse for more than a decade, starting in America as a nurse assistant and eventually completing her Bachelors degree in Belgium where she now resides and practices.
If there was ever a challenging moment in her career, it was definitely during the lockdown period of 2020. « It was not easy going home from a shift and coming back the next day to discover we had lost patients again » she explains, «The worst moment was the day an isolated patient jumped from the fourth floor of the hospital window, shattering his skulls and dying on the spot. This, to be free from loneliness. God gave me a song from that incident to keep my sanity in check.
« This was a tough period but i know what music does for the soul and I took it on myself to exude joy on the unit, which I very well did. My boss would ask me sometimes to go sit with certain patients after our morning rounds. He knew what would come out of it»
It is no wonder also why they call her « the singing nurse » or as some others in her work environment call her, « singing sunshine »
Coming across other controversial topics as Euthanasia is another topic that she boldly speaks her heart about. Being God’s ambassador on earth comes with a lot of soul searching and definitely a strong sense of self identity.
SHOWS AND EVENTS
Uniekgrace was a line up artist at Limoblaze live-in-concert 2023 in Brussels, alongside Annatoria, setting the stage ablaze for their French speaking audience.
