Raleigh, NC - 5x-Stellar Award nominee, Kim Person, lands her 2nd Top 15 Billboard Top Gospel Album debut in as many years. Her latest project, “Speak Life And Live” (released Friday 10/6/2023), grabbed the #14 position on the Billboard Top Gospel Album chart this week. Kim’s 2021 offering, “Journey 2.0”, garnered the same standing when it was released October 1, 2021. You can find her newest radio single, “Fall On Me”, on the “Speak Life And Live” EP. “Fall On Me”, produced by Phillip Bryant (Tamela Mann, Maranda Curtis, JJ Hairston), is the testimony of how Kim implored the Spirit of God to aid her through some gruelling life challenges. Kim shares, "This song comes from the depths of my heart. I found the strength to rise above my pain and discovered the power of surrender. Let this song be a reminder that, even in the darkest of times, there is always a glimpse of hope. Sit back, close your eyes, feel the emotions in the lyrics, and let the music soothe your soul.”  

In addition to this landmark time, Kim’s 2021 radio single “Wonderful” (from “Journey 2.0"), reached the Top 30 on the Mediabase Gospel Airplay chart. Kim was also nominated for three (3) Stellar Awards last year in the following categories: Albertina Walker Female Artist of the Year, Traditional Female Artist of the Year, and Traditional Album of the Year. She also performed “Wonderful" during the Pre-Show at the 37th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards held in Atlanta, GA, July 15-16, 2022.  

A native of Lumberton, NC and currently based in Raleigh, NC, Kim Person’s “Journey 2.0” EP was the follow-up to the 2019 “The Journey" album, which peaked at #2 on the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart and #25 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart. “Journey 2.0” spent six (6) weeks in the Top 10 of the Billboard Top Gospel Albums chart. Kim also earned her inaugural Stellar Award nominations for New Artist of the Year and Contemporary Female Artist of the Year in 2020.
