Micah Lee First Independent Male Artist to Garner Four Stellar Award Nominations

Dallas, TX — With an electrifying blend of Gospel, Jazz, Neo-soul, and R&B, acclaimed Gospel singer, songwriter, model, and blogger Micah Lee has more than one reason to “Clap My Way,” as his hit single suggests. With his historic nominations for the prestigious 40th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards, he has four more reasons to praise!

The smooth tenor (named one of BET’s Best Dressed at 2023 and 2024 Stellar Awards) has made headlines as the first independent male artist to secure four nominations, more than any other independent male artist in the history of the show. Lee’s nominations for his single “Clap My Way” (JGM Pick of the Week, September 30, 2024) are Song of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, New Artist of the Year, and Urban Single/Performance of the Year.

This monumental moment of Lee’s musical journey transcends honor and accolades; it’s an extension of his marvelous testimony. Bound to a wheelchair after narrowly escaping death following a devastating car accident that left him submerged in a body of water in 2005, Lee leaned into his unwavering faith, defied the doctor’s grim prognosis that he may never walk again, and came out singing! For him, “Clap My Way” is more than an extraordinary song taking the music industry by storm – it’s an anthem that gives God glory and inspires others to persevere through adversity.

Nominations are in, but the work isn’t over. As Lee continues to motivate with his story of faith, perseverance, and the transformative power of music, he would appreciate your VOTE to secure his place as this year’s FAN FAVORITE. The Urban Single Performance of the Year category is open for fans to vote now until July 18. VOTE HERE!

With an underlying theme of overcoming life’s challenges with hope and optimism, Lee describes his music as the “biblical blueprint” for navigating the storm. As he works on the album dedicated to the legacy of his late father, the artist BET recognized as a “modern-day renaissance man,” continues to soar as he uplifts global audiences.
