Nominations Follow Four GRAMMY Wins in 2023<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ATLANTA<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 November 13, 2023 – Christian Contemporary music collective Maverick City Music, has earned two GRAMMY nominations for the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards airing February 4th, 2024. The five-time Grammy winners are nominated for\u00a0Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance\/Song (\u201cGod Problems\u201d) and Best Gospel Album (\u201cThe Maverick Way\u201d).\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023, the group not only performed but won all of their four GRAMMY nominations for Best Gospel Performance\/Song (\u201cKingdom\u201d feat. Naomi Raine & Chandler Moore), Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance (\u201cFear is Not My Future\u201d feat. Brandon Lake & Chandler Moore), Best Contemporary Christian Music Album (\u201cBreathe\u201d) and Best Gospel Album (\u201cKingdom Book One\u201d Deluxe). The four wins encompassed all of the Christian and Gospel categories, tying with Beyonce for most wins of the night. At that show, Maverick City Music\u2019s debut GRAMMY performance became the first in the genre in over 20 years to perform during the televised event. In 2021, Maverick City Music received a Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album (“Old Church Basement”). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cWe are excited and humbled by this nomination for the GRAMMY Awards. This and every year, it fills us with joy that our music is being recognized by music lovers worldwide,\u201d says Maverick City Music.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Jonathan Jay and Norman Gyamfi, co-founders of Maverick City Music add, \u201cThe amount of love we received on this project is a Blessing. We are happy to see that \u2018The Maverick Way\u2019 has been recognized as Best Gospel Album and that \u2018God\u2019s Problems\u2019, one of our favorites, has been nominated for Best Contemporary Christian Song. It\u2019s a song that everyone can relate to, that shows the power of God and how He can make anything and everything right regardless of the challenges you may be facing.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 27th, Maverick City Music, Chandler Moore & Naomi Raine released their 22-track album, \u2018The Maverick Way Complete\u2019 via Insignia & TRIBL Records. The album features tracks from the \u2018The Maverick Way\u2019 EP, which shot to number one on Billboard\u2019s Top Gospel Album chart. The album features collaborations with Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Noah Schnacky, Bobbi Storm, Travis Greene, Cody Carnes, Wande, and more. \u2018The Maverick Way Complete\u2019 incorporates emotionally charged records and passionate performances, which the group is distinctively known for, while fusing their blend of gospel, R&B, pop, and contemporary worship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018The Maverick Way\u2019 tour kicked off on November 1st with a total of 16 stops through November 19th with performances from Maverick City Music, Todd Galberth, Noah Schnacky, Ashley Hess, Roosevelt Stewart, Anthony Brown, and JWLKRS. In 2022, Maverick City Music\u2019s ‘Kingdom Tour’ with Kirk Franklin was one of the biggest tours of the year, consistently ranking in the Pollstar Top 10 week after week, selling out arenas across America.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
