“It is a great honor to be recognized by Don Jackson and the Stellar Awards for our accomplishments at Tyscot Music & Entertainment,” he says. “It is because of the faithfulness of our God and the diligence of our artists, label partners, industry affiliates and team that we have not only survived, but thrived through the past 40 years in what is often a very volatile enterprise. It is humbling to be able to promote a product that has potential to change lives for eternity’s sake. To be honored by the prestigious Stellar Awards only serves to increase our gratefulness. “
