The 30th Annual Stellar Gospel Music Awards was on for the ages this year. The annual celebration of gospel music took place at the Orleans Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. With nominees from all over the country (and of course Atlanta), we thought this would be a peachy event to feature.
The stars were out in masses to celebrate 30 years in gospel celebration. Above you can see host Adrienne Bailon, and other stars include Rickey Smiley, David & Tamela Mann, Michelle Williams, and more!
If you aren’t familiar with the annual gospel celebration, here’s a little background on its humble beginnings: Chicago-based Central City Productions, Inc. (CCP) produces the Stellar Gospel Music Awards. It’s been 30 years since the first awards show was taped at the Arie Crown Theater in Chicago, and the Stellar Awards has now become the premier Gospel event that recognizes and honors African American artists. This one of a kind award show has showcased top Gospel artists and many television and film stars.
The Stellar Gospel Music Awards show is executive produced by Don Jackson and produced by Barbara Wilson for Central City Productions. CCP was founded in 1970 in Chicago by Don Jackson.
