Broadcast Music Inc. will honor gospel leaders Israel Houghton, LaShun Pace and The Anointed Pace Sisters at the 16th annual Trailblazers of Gospel Music Awards on Saturday, January 17, 2015.

Attended by gospel music’s premier songwriters, brightest stars and leading industry executives, the invitation-only event, part industry celebration and part awe-inspiring worship service, will also announce the Most Performed Gospel Song of the Year at the ceremony.





The event, previously held in Nashville, will be hosted at the Rialto Center for the Arts in Atlanta. “I’m thrilled to bring the fete to Atlanta this year and to honor these revered luminaries of gospel music,” said BMI Vice President, Writer-Publisher Relations, Atlanta, Catherine Brewton. “Atlanta has a rich musical history and it’s the perfect setting to laud Israel Houghton, LaShun Pace, and The Anointed Pace Sisters.”  

59th Mayor of Atlanta, Kasim Reed

Atlanta’s Mayor, Kasim Reed, also greets the revelers with open arms:
 “As mayor of the city of Atlanta, it is my pleasure to extend a warm welcome to BMI and the attendees of the 2015 Trailblazers of Gospel Music Awards,” he said.

Israel Houghton

This year’s honorees are comprised of talents who are deeply rooted in the gospel genre. Israel Houghton, a prolific worship leader and singer-songwriter-producer, has been at the helm of his own music ministry for 22 years and has worked on more than 50 albums as an artist or producer. In 1995, he formed New Breed Ministries, giving way to Whisper it Loud and Way of the World, debut releases from 1997. Since then, Houghton has released 11 solo and group CDs and has reached consistent commercial success with Billboard chart toppers like New Season, Power of One and his most recent release, Jesus at the Center. Houghton has garnered countless accolades throughout his career, including five GRAMMY awards, 13 Dove awards, two Stellar awards and a Soul Train award.

The Anointed Pace Sisters’ storied career ranges from singing as children in local talent competitions in their native Georgia, to wowing audiences with their mellifluous harmonies on national television networks such as BET. Their debut release, U Know, climbed to number two on the Billboard Gospel Album chart and spawned the hit singles “When God is in the Building,” “Safety Zone” and “Be a Fence.” Shekinah Glory, as well as various accolades, including being inducted into the Christian Music Hall of Fame, multiple Stellar awards and a Soul Train Lady of Soul award. Collectively, LaShun Pace and The Anointed Pace Sisters have a discography and legacy worthy of celebration.

LaShun Pace

Their success laid the groundwork for group member and sister LaShun Pace to launch a successful solo career. Pace’s first album, He Lives, featured her opus “I Know I’ve Been Changed.” Several memorable albums followed.









BMI is proud to honor these towering talents and celebrate their legendary contributions.

The Voices of Power Reunion under the direction of Melonda Pace!!

The Voices of Power is a Stellar nominated, gospel recording choir founded by the late, Bishop Murphy J Pace III (brother of The Anointed Pace Sisters). Over the years they've performed with many great artists/ stages.

They were a signed group with Blackberry Records.
In 2014, under the direction of Melonda Pace, they got together for a night of fellowship, reunion, and family after several years. Many past members of The Voices of Power came from all across the country to be a part of this great night in Atlanta, GA.

Gospel Singer, LaShun Pace was also in the building!!!

Interview with #Gospel Singer, LaShun Pace

Growing up, who was someone that you really wanted to met?  For the majority of us, we won't actually get a chance to meet that person.  And for those that do, be sure to enjoy every moment of it!  AND THAT IS EXACTLY WHAT I DID!!!

Some people wanted to meet Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and someone else....I however, wanted to meet LaShun Pace (she is a gospel singer from Atlanta).

If you have ever read any of my blogs, you know that I have admired LaShun Pace since I was a child.  Also I blogged about the amazing time I had when I attended her live recording for her Reborn album.

 After all these years of admiring LaShun Pace music, I finally got a chance to meet her and to have her on my show!!! So without continuing on with a lot of talk.....I present to you LaShun Pace on When We Speak!!!!
