3X GRAMMY-nominated, 2X Dove Award-winning and 3X KLOVE Fan Awards Male Vocalist of the Year Danny Gokey joined Red Street Records as the label's newest recording artist. With five #1-charted Christian radio singles, five #1 album debuts on the Billboard Top Christian Chart and over 1B career streams, Gokey's first release under the Red Street partnership will be his upcoming original Christmas song, "The Moment The Whole World Changed," out November 7th (PRE-SAVE).
Gokey shares, "I'm incredibly excited about this new chapter. After years in this industry, I've learned that it's about partnering with people who truly believe in your vision and are invested in the journey. Jay Demarcus, Jason McArthur and the team at Red Street get what I'm trying to do musically and in ministry, and having that focused support means everything. I've always believed that music is more than entertainment; it's about reaching people with hope and encouragement when they need it most. This isn't just about making music; it's about making music that matters and reaching people in a deeper way. I can't wait to see what we build together."
Led by Founder and CEO Jay DeMarcus alongside General Manager Alex Valentine and newly appointed VP of A&R/Publishing Christian Jason McArthur, Red Street Records is eager to continue to elevate Gokey's powerhouse presence in the Christian music space. Gokey is joined by a stout roster of label mates, including multi-platinum Country star Chris Lane, GRAMMY Award-winner Jason Crabb, chart-topping CCM group Consumed By Fire, and rising stars Taylor Austin Dye and Cade Thompson, among others.
“Danny and I have been friends for many years," shares DeMarcus. "I've enjoyed watching him take his career to new levels, and I'm beyond thrilled to be his partner in what I'm sure is going to be his best chapter yet. Danny is one of the greatest singers, not only in the Christian format, but in any genre, and I can't wait for everyone to hear the music he's been working on. This is a big day for Red Street!"
