Tamela Mann and TillyMann Music received two nominations for the 56thNAACP Image Awards including Outstanding Gospel/Christian Album for her latest collection of songs Live Breathe Fight and Outstanding Gospel/Christian Song for her No. 1, multi-week, chart-topping hit “Working For Me.”
“It’s an honor to be nominated by the NAACP Image Awards,” said Tamela. “To bring recognition to the producers and songwriters on Live Breathe Fight is amazing. Thank you for sharing my music. My hope is that people will hear the songs and realize we have to do the will of Him who sent us, who made us, who created us.”

Penned by Tamela, Bryant and Tameka Mintze aka “Tia Sharee,” the debut single “Working for Me” dominated gospel radio as her fastest climbing single to date and earned Tamela a place in Billboard history with her 11th No. 1 hit, more than any other gospel artist.
