music industry. In the same year of 2004, the very first artist on the record label, an
anointed group of inner-city kids called “Gospo & The Gospel Kids!” released their
debut christian children's music CD; "Sing Unto The Lord A New Song!"...which
was nominated for a 2006 Stellar Gospel Music Award in the “Children’s
Performance of the Year!” category.
In spite of their early success, the purpose of TGKS Records remains the same:
"To use the powerful tools of music, television, radio and animation to lift up
the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and to proclaim the Word of
God to make a powerful, permanent, life-changing impact on millions of
children and families of all races around the world." TGKS Records is
"the record label where God is able and where children are the heart of the ministry."
