Congratulations to the 2011, GospelSongwriter.Com Awards winners.

 

Honor Award = Dee Gaskin

 

Presidents Award = Phil Cross

 

GospelSongwriter.Com Awards consist of both the Honor and Presidents award. The recipient of the Honor Award is decided by the writers (G-team) of GospelSongwriter.Com and the recipient of the Presidents Award is decided by the president of GospelSongwriter.Com Mickey Mixon.

 

The G-team not only nominated and voted but was also required to explain why their choice for the recipient of the Honor Award was worthy, and judging by their comments Dee is more than worthy. Mickey chose the recipient of the Presidents Award similarly, someone he believes contributes and makes a difference in the Gospel music community, and Phil has and does.

 

Other Honor Award nominees included Paul Heil, Gerald Crabb, Niles Borop, Linda Barton, and Mickey Mixon, although Mickey declined for obvious reasons. Mickey said, “I’m honored but no thank you, maybe in the future I will feel comfortable receiving the award but for now there are others far more deserving”.

 

The awards will be presented to Dee and Phil on Sunday evening, March 6, 2011 during the Gospel Songwriters Convention in Nashville, TN. You can learn more about the convention as well as contact and congratulate Dee and Phil online via the links below.

 

Congratulations Dee and Phil, we honor, love and appreciate you both.

Welcome 2008!!!

 

GSC served 145 artists in 2007, and started out this year with a bang. 2008 promises to be even better.

Happy New Year. GSC is still going strong. We celebrated our 7th year online last year and look forward to a great 2007. We are still tweaking our system and have some work to do but we are looking for a brighter and more successful future. Thanks for your interest, and God bless you!

Due to the current distress of our budget, portions of GSC are still under reconstruction.

Although our advertising budget has suffered, hindering us from placing ads in the media and trade magazines, we still average 15 artists’ Song Search submissions per month.

Several artists recently contacted GSC informing us they are recording quite a few of our writers’ songs over the next few months. Some have sent CDs of their latest project which include several songs from our writers. This week the group "By His Grace" sent me a copy of their new project; they recorded five of G-team member Dee Gaskin’s songs.

Thanks for your prayers and support.

We are still in the mode of remodeling portions of GSC. Thanks for your patience.

We currently have over 70 songwriters providing songs for artists, so if you are an artist needing songs to record please visit our Song Search page.

501 Artists

When Mickey Mixon launched GospelSongwriter.com in 1999 he could only guess how well his website would do. Since several folks indicated they thought his website would only last a year, maybe two, and not many artists would use his service, he did not keep perfect records of how many artists used his site. During the spring of 2002 Mickey realized "they" were wrong and began keeping better records.

During that spring, while looking through his modicum of files, Mickey estimated approximately 1,000 artists used his website. So, May 15, 2002 he began maintaining a better filing system. While he cannot prove it, it appears that, to this date, over 1,500 artists have used his website. However, Mickey's current, accurate, files show that as of today, Thursday, July 24, 2003, GospelSongwriter.com has served 501 artists. Praise The Lord!!!

Recently it was inquired of how much longer Mickey would provide his website. His answer? "Maybe a year, maybe until Jesus comes. I don't know, but I will keep better records until then."

Thanks to all the Southern Gospel artists and songwriters who have helped to make GospelSongwriter.com a prolific ministry in the Gospel music community.

Our 10th annual Songwrite Seminar was successful. Gospel songwriters from Florida, Georgia, Carolina, Virginia and Tennessee attended with smiles on their faces and their hearts opened to receive. Our guest speaker, Kevin Hunt, shared a lot of information with our eager attendees. Mickey’s portion of the seminar was fruitful, as well. He shared scripture and exhorted the ministry of songwriting and Gospel music. Several attendees were so inspired they began writing new songs at the conclusion of the seminar. The buzz was, “We can hardly wait for next year’s seminar”. Praise the Lord!!!

Congratulations to G-team member Richard Calhoun for winning first place in the "Solid Gospel International Songwriters Search And Showcase". Richard's song, "Can't Say Enough", won a single song publishing contract and a guaranteed recording, and Richard won a special luncheon with G-team member Gerald Crabb. Praise the Lord!!!

1/10/03

Congratulations to G-team member Reggie Lovorn. This weekend, his song “Looking Ahead” was featured on the syndicated, award-winning radio show The Gospel Greats. “Looking Ahead” is the title cut for the group Eastern Sky, and is soon be their latest radio single release. Reggie secured the Eastern Sky cut via GSC. Congrats Reggie. Keep up the good work!!!

We didn't expect many artists to logon during the Christmas holiday, however, we were pleasantly surprised and grateful to serve 40 artists this month. Praise the Lord!!!

However, due to the growth of this ministry and the interest shown by many in the Gospel music community, we now provide this page in order to share portions and highlights of GSC news and info, as well as any thing our manager, Mickey Mixon, considers pertinent and may wish to share. Thanks and enjoy!!!
