Even after four years of releasing her hit single, “Way Maker”, Sinach is still receiving accolades for the song, one being bagging several nominations at the 2020 Dove Awards
Organized by the Gospel Music Association (GMA) of the United States, the Dove Awards is one of the biggest gospel music awards in the world.
The Song of the Year Category is the biggest accolade and is awarded to a songwriter and the publisher every year. The association has announced the nominees for the 51st Annual GMA Dove Music Awards, and “Way Maker“, has been nominated in three categories.
The categories “Way Maker” is vying for include ‘Song of the Year’, Spanish Language Recorded Song of the Year (as recorded by Priscilla Bueno), and Worship Recorded Song of the Year (as recorded by Leeland). Way Maker’s nomination is arguably the first time ever a song written by a Nigerian gospel artist is making the top category.
Sinach has been on the gospel music scene for quite a while now and she is unarguably one of Nigeria’s most successful gospel artists. The track originally released in 2016, recently gained massive popularity following performances by The Elevation Worship and other Christian rock bands. Her unique sound and back-to-back hit songs, led her to become the first African to top the Billboard Christian Songwriters Chart.
Speaking on the inspiration behind the song, she says: “It is encouraging to see how my songs have become impactful in the lives of many who listen to me. “Way Maker” was written when I was facing a challenge and it became a source of encouragement.”
Sinach joins a long list of international nominees at this year’s award including Hillsong Worship, Kirk Franklin, Jonathan McReynolds, Kanye West, Gloria Gaynor, Tasha Cobbs Leonard and more.
“The GMA is honored to continue its legacy of celebrating our diverse creative community and the music that moves us and ministers to us all, especially during these trying times,” GMA President Jackie Patillo said in a statement. The winners will be announced on TBN on October 30, and due to COVID-19 restrictions, in lieu of the annual live awards show, the show will consist of pre-recorded performances and acceptance speeches.
