Lauren Daigle’s the crossover artist leading the 50th GMA Dove Awards
Lauren Daigle’s song “You Say” has topped both the Christian and adult contemporary music charts and now she is leading this year’s Dove Awards.
Daigle has six nominations, including artist of the year, heading into Tuesday’s Gospel Music Association Dove Awards.
For King & Country and Kirk Franklin follow with five nominations each, while Phil Wickham, Tasha Cobbs Leonard and TobyMac each have four.
Daigle has already won some Grammys for the single and her album, “Look Up Child.”
She talked about her success in a recent interview with AXS.
“It’s wild how this music has been embraced. You go into the studio and you feel like what you have is gold or what you have is beautiful,” she said. “You kind of cross your fingers that it all lands in the right spot. Then you come out and you realize that it’s received ten times the amount of love than what you imagined.”
