Singer-Songwriter VASHAWN MITCHELL NOMINATED FOR GRAMMY® AWARD
RESELLING THE FIRST PLACE ON THE BILLBOARD GOSPEL AIRPLAY CHART WITH “JOYOUS TRACK, “LIFTED UP”.
GRAMMY® Award-nominated singer, songwriter and producer VaShawn Mitchell has marked another career milestone. He claims the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Gospel Airplay chart for the week ending July 31, 2021, with the joyous “Lifted Up” (VMan Entertainment/Tyscot/Fair Trade Services). Ironically, the song replaced last week’s No. 1 hit, Monica Lisa Stevenson and Paul Porter’s “I’m Not Ashamed,” which was also written by Mitchell.
“I have always prayed to God to allow me to write, produce and sing songs that can live long and touch the hearts and souls of listeners, so I am truly humbled that these two songs resonate with the gospel audience,” he says.
Mitchell’s recent chart successes are just a few reminders of his rich collection of songs. Many of his fans may not realize that he wrote the radio hit “One More Chance” for Ricky Dillard & New G and Bishop Larry Trotter’s “It’s Only A Test.” In addition to composing several of his own hit recordings such as “He Got Up” and “Turning Around for Me,” he has also written songs that have been recorded by Tasha Cobbs LeonardThe Rance Allen Group, Bill & Gloria Gaither, Smokie Norful, and Maverick City, among others. In the meantime, Mitchell is currently writing new music and plans to record a live concert album in the fall.
“Lifted Up” is Mitchell’s third Billboard Gospel Airplay hit as a recording artist. He previously reached the top with “Nobody Greater” in 2010 and “Joy” in 2017. Visit https://vashawnmitchell.com for more news.
