Mandisa Receives "Best Contemporary/Pop Album" Award and Performs at the Dove Awards
American Idol alum and Grammy Award winner Mandisa nabs her first career Dove Award for "Best Pop/Contemporary" award for "Stronger" earlier at the Dove Awards this week. Mandisa is one of the most nominated artists alongside host Lecrae, Artist of the Year Hillsong UNITED and Matt Maher.
On top of her win, Mandisa also performed her No. 1 hit "Overcomer" for an excited Dove Awards audience. Immediately following her performance, Mandisa was awarded her first career Dove Award for Pop/Contemporary Album of the Year for Overcomer. "I am very thankful for this," said Mandisa. "I think back to eight years ago, and American Idol, and I was convinced that I was being kicked to the curb. I didn't know what to do, but I'm a living witness, if you seek first the Kingdom of God."
Overcomer has already proven to be Mandisa's best work, having picked up a GRAMMY® Award earlier this year for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. The title track, which earned its own GRAMMY®, remained at No. 1 for 12 weeks, was performed on ABC's Good Morning America, features a star-studded music video and has nearly 4.5 million views on YouTube. The album also propelled Mandisa to win the Female Artist of the Year and Song of the Year ("Overcomer") awards at the 2014 K-LOVE Fan Awards.
Just last month, Mandisa debuted her first full-length remix album, Get Up: The Remixes. The project features 11 remixes of her biggest hits - including "Overcomer," "Stronger" and "Good Morning." Mandisa is currently on the "Thrive Tour" with Casting Crowns and Sidewalk Prophets. To see if Mandisa is coming to a city near you, visit mandisaofficial.com/home/tour.
