Fo
Yo Soul Recordings/RCA, a joint venture between gospel music icon Kirk
Franklin and RCA Records, celebrated 3 wins at the 30th Annual Stellar
Awards this year. Multiple Stellar Award winner and super producer Kirk
Franklin was recognized with special honors by the Stellar Awards, while
The Walls Group and Tasha Page-Lockhart brought their acclaimed live
talents to the show during an unforgettable “Fo Yo Soul” performance
segment, with an introduction by Franklin.
Garnering
multiple Stellar Award nominations in the label’s first year of
operation, The Walls Group and Tasha Page-Lockhart dominated three major
categories. The Walls Group celebrated 2 Stellar Awards wins in the
categories of Group/Duo of the Year and Contemporary Group/Duo of the
Year for their #1 debut album, FAST FORWARD. Sixth season “Sunday
Best” winner Tasha Page-Lockhart, who showcases her powerful artistry
on her hit debut album HERE RIGHT NOW, took home the coveted Stellar
Award for New Artist of the Year.
“It
is amazing to receive so much love from the gospel community,” said
Kirk Franklin. “My vision for Fo Yo Soul Recordings/ RCA was to
introduce and establish new and exciting artists to the market place.
These awards for The Walls Group and Tasha Page-Lockhart are an
indicator that vision is being fulfilled. We are truly grateful to Don
Jackson and the entire Stellar Awards team for providing such an
important platform for gospel music for the past 30 years.”
