Earlier this week, West was honored with ASCAP’s prestigious Golden Note Award, presented to songwriters, composers, and artists who have achieved extraordinary career milestones. Prior winners include Garth Brooks, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie, Reba, Jay-Z, Usher and more. Additionally, he celebrates another milestone success - he notched his 30th number one song as an artist-songwriter combined with Big Daddy Weave’s “Heaven Changes Everything.”
"I’m usually focused on what’s next," shares West. "The next song, the next tour, the next record. But this ASCAP honor forced me to stop and reflect on my journey thus far and the result was a feeling of overwhelming gratitude for all the opportunities I’ve been blessed with to make music and share it with the world. And I feel like I’m just getting started! This is definitely an exciting and creative season and I can’t wait to see what happens next."
Dubbed by Billboard as “one of Christian music’s most prolific singer-songwriters,” his latest album, MY STORY YOUR GLORY, is out now. Composed of 22 tracks, the first part of the double album, MY STORY, embodies the countless stories fans have shared with the songwriter over the years as well as personal experiences, while the second part, YOUR GLORY, marks the first official Gospel worship album. The 5x GRAMMY® nominee is gearing up to continue captivating audiences across the country on his MY STORY YOUR GLORY Fall Tour with special guest Micah Tyler.
