A New Anthem Alliance: Jonathan Nelson Joins Tyscot’s Historic Legacy
In a powerful convergence of legacy and anointing, worship leader and songwriter Jonathan Nelson has entered a landmark partnership, signing a recording deal with the iconic Tyscot Records under its Tyscot Worship imprint. This strategic move unites one of gospel music’s most resonant voices with the world’s oldest-operating, Black-owned gospel label, precisely as Tyscot prepares to celebrate its monumental 50th anniversary. Nelson, the Stellar Award-winning architect of modern praise anthems like “My Name is Victory,” brings his distinctive blend of congregational accessibility and spiritual depth to a label built on a foundation of authenticity and excellence. The partnership signals a dynamic new chapter, with Nelson already finalizing his first full album of new material since 2018, promising a fresh sonic offering poised to impact gospel radio and worship sets globally by spring 2026.
This union, however, is far more than a business transaction; it is a divine appointment years in the making. As Tyscot Records President Bryant Scott reveals, the seeds were planted casually during a van ride on a Caribbean island, a testament to the patient, faithful timing that often underscores God’s greatest collaborations. Nelson’s enthusiastic declaration—“It’s all gas and no breaks. Let’s goooooooo!”—meets Scott’s reverence for a vision finally coming to fruition, framing this deal as a Spirit-led mission. Together, they aim not merely to produce songs, but to craft worship experiences that glorify God and edify the global Church. For listeners, this alliance guarantees that the potent confession in Nelson’s music will now be amplified through a historic platform, ensuring that the next wave of anthems will carry both fresh fire and timeless legacy.
