NASHVILLE,TN (March 18th) – 4-time BMI Christian Music Award winner Scotty Inman is set to release his highly-anticipated Daywind Records debut solo album, My God, on March 22nd. Two singles have already hit streaming platforms, “My God” (released on January 5th) and “Motel Bible” (released on March 1st). The album will captivate listeners with its motivating and poignant lyrics, soulful melodies, and powerful themes.
Each track on My God offers a glimpse into Inman’s personal experiences and his deep-rooted faith. Inman continues to push the boundaries of country-inspired Christian music.
“After months of writing, recording, and planning, I’m excited to finally share this album with everyone. These 11 songs were chosen to challenge Christians and ultimately help lead someone to Christ. The songs are filled with the simple truths that salvation is available to anyone who calls on the name of the Lord and that His grace is amazing and sufficient when we fail. I really pray this album will not only please the ear but penetrate the heart,” shares Inman.
“Our team here at Daywind Records are so excited for everyone to hear the much-anticipated NEW Scotty Inman project, entitled MY GOD! Of course, the first single off of the project is the song “My God”, and it is quickly climbing the national radio charts,” states Dusty Wells, Director of A&R for Daywind Records. “It declares all that God can and will do for us, a proclamation of His greatness and His faithfulness to all. Scotty has written many chart-topping songs the last few years for his long-time group, Triumphant, as well as many other artists, so it was no surprise to us that Scotty would bring incredible songs to the table for this project. Many of the songs were co-written with other top songwriters in our industry. This project is the sharing of Scotty’s heart and reflective of the journey of his love for Jesus, his faith, and his walk. I cannot wait for people to listen to this new project. We are thrilled to be on the journey with Scotty Inman in this new phase of his career and ministry.”

Steve Ladd’s career began at the age of five, and includes significant stints with Gold City, the Anchormen, and Anthem Edition (formerly Old Paths).

My music is in great hands!” Steve’s current single, “Preach the Word,” released to radio in February.
Debra Perry & Jaidyn’s Call was founded in 2010 by Debra Perry and her husband, Christopher Reed. The group also features Waylon Bayes on lead. The group takes its name from Debra’s and Christopher’s grandson who was born with a serious health condition and was not expected to live. By God’s grace, he’s now 17 years old. The group says, “We are very excited to become part of Artist Resource Services. Our future in Southern Gospel looks much brighter as we work with these industry leaders who enjoy serving God as well as their artists.” “At the End of Every Prayer,” from the project, Priceless Treasure, is Debra Perry & Jaidyn’s Call’s latest radio single quickly climbing the charts.
The newest signing and youngest member of the Artist Resource Services roster, Tate Emmons, is growing up singing. At the young age of 13, he’s already graced the stage with the likes of Southbound, Tribute Quartet, Jeff & Sheri Easter and more. “It’s an honor to be affiliated with Artist Resource Services, shares Emmons. “It’s such a great feeling to know that I have the support of this team on this journey I am on. There is no other place I’d rather be.” Despite its recent release, Tate’s latest single, “Means Something to Me,” has already been showing up high on the Southern Gospel radio charts.
Jaquita Jenkins, director of ARS says, “We are excited to partner alongside the ministries of Steve Ladd, Debra Perry and Jaidyn’s Call, and Tate Emmons. Whether you are a veteran in Southern Gospel or a newcomer, ARS is ready to help grow these great ministries. I’m excited to see how God furthers the careers of each of these artists.”
