Nashville, TN –
Motown Gospel is honored to announce the official signing of iconic choirmaster
Ricky Dillard
today. Known for his skillful directing and inimitable presentation
marked by high energy, acrobatics and charisma, the 3-time GRAMMY®
nominee will record his Motown Gospel debut album, along with his
unparalleled choir, New G, live in Chicago on Saturday, September 28,
2019 beginning at 2:00PM at Haven of Rest Missionary Baptist Church on
7925 South Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60617. Ticket are available
for purchase
here.
Reflecting on his 31-year career in music, Dillard expresses his
enthusiasm and excitement to join the historic label and begin this new
chapter:
“I’m so excited to be partnering with such an iconic and progressive
label as Motown Gospel for this next chapter and level of my assignment.
Throughout my career, I’ve been very fortunate, as I have been
associated with many great people and a participant of many great
events. Motown is certainly one of the world’s most known brands, and
their people are some of the world’s best,” said Ricky Dillard.
“Ricky Dillard’s innovation and energy as a choir arranger and
director are unparalleled. We are honored to welcome him into the Motown
Gospel Family,” said Monica Coates, Co- executive Director of Motown
Gospel.
“The Choirmaster,” as Ricky is famously known, brings a new flavor to
Motown Gospel with his fiery directing skills and his ability to
captivate and touch souls through his music. It is no mystery why his
hit single “Amazing” spent a record-setting 30 weeks at number 1 on the
Gospel Airplay charts, or his most recent albums,
10 and
Amazing, both debuted at number one on the Billboard Top Gospel Album Chart.
“Choir music is influencing popular culture like never before. We’re
thrilled to partner with Ricky Dillard—a dynamic architect of the
contemporary choir sound and style,” said EJ Gaines, Co-Executive
Director of Motown Gospel.
