One of gospel music’s most prominent praise and worship leaders Jonathan Nelson has inked a recording contract with Tyscot Records’ Tyscot Worship imprint as the world’s oldest-operating African American owned gospel label prepares to celebrate its 50th anniversary.
The Stellar Award-winning / Dove Award nominated singer-songwriter-choirmaster is known for his singalong gospel hits such as “My Name is Victory” and “I Believe (Island Medley).” Nelson is applying the finishing touches to his first album of entirely new material since 2018’s Declarations project and prepping a radio single to impact the gospel radio airwaves by the spring of 2026.
“I’m truly thrilled to announce this new partnership with Tyscot!” Nelson adds. “Bryant [Scott] and his team are well respected in this business. So, it’s a privilege to join forces in this next chapter. I’m excited as we begin to mark new territory, unlock new sounds, create new melodies, and work diligently to take this new sound to the world. I pray that God will continue to bless the work of our hands together. Get ready! New music is on the way! It’s all gas and no breaks. Are y’all ready?? Let’s goooooooo!”
“Jonathan and I started this conversation years ago while riding in a van on a Caribbean island,” says Tyscot Records President, Bryant Scott. “We didn’t force it, and it always amazes me how God brings things to fruition in His timing. I am honored to have Tyscot Worship partner with Jonathan Nelson Enterprises to produce music that glorifies God and edifies the Church.”
