TobyMac's Gotee Records Celebrates Anniversary with 'Twenty Years Brand New' Featuring Collaborations from Relient K, Out of Eden, and More
The TobyMac founded, Gotee Records, is celebrating its 20th Anniversary with a special album featuring remixes and collaborations with all the artists from the label throughout the years - Gotee Records: Twenty Years Brand New.
It is currently available through iTunes and Amazon, and a limited physical copy run has been pressed up on the label's website.
"Walking alongside artistry at Gotee Records has always been one of my most cherished and fulfilling roles," said TobyMac, co-founder and CEO of Gotee Records in a press release, "To meet a budding artist on the road and watch them go from sharing their art with me in the form of a demo to blossoming into something that stops the world is indescribable. Most times, I'm along for the ride and inspired by them the whole way there."
Gotee has also announced that two singles have gone Gold (500,000+ records sold), Grits' "Ooh Ahh" featuring TobyMac, and Jamie Grace's "Hold Me" featuring TobyMac. Grace has become the fourth female Christian artist to go Gold, and Grits the only Christian rap artist to receive such prestige.
"We laughed together, we cried together, disagreed at times, made music and history, but that's what family is and celebrating 20 years together through this project is a beautiful thing. We still are and always will be family," said Teron "Bonafide" Carter of Grits in a press release.
"Gotee has been our family from the very early stages of our band and we are so proud to be a part of this project. We are so thankful for Joey and Toby and the rest of the team. I can remember listening to Johnny Q Public in high school and dreaming about playing rock music," said Matthew Hoopes of Relient K in a statement.
