My friend Mark Weber tipped me off to this story: Gospel music fans are tweeting the news that Enock, one of the founding members of the Christian hip hop group The Cross Movement, passed away this morning of a heart attack. He was only in his mid-30s. The website DaSouth.com is reporting that James collapsed…

Nineteen-year-old Paige Armstrong’s debut CD Wake Up hit stores this month, but her journey to the music industry has had more twists and turns than most artists. At age 11, she was diagnosed with cancer, and it was an opportunity from the Make-A-Wish foundation that allowed her to travel to Nashville to fulfill her dream:…

The Save The GMA fundraiser took place on Monday night, and it looks like the event might have gone a long way towards helping to keep the Gospel Music Association on its feet. According to the press release, the event – which drew 350 people at $1,000 a ticket plus more than 10,000 online viewers…
