Nashville executive Benny Brown has launched North Chapel Records, a division of his publishing company North Chapel Music. Focusing on faith-based music, Nathan Woodard marks the label’s first signing.

A Nashville native, Woodard began touring across the Southeast at five years old as part of The Woodard Family. As a songwriter, Woodard has earned more than 60 cuts, penning multiple No. 1 and top 10 hits across genres. He has earned cuts on three Grammy-nominated albums. Woodard is also signed to a publishing deal with North Chapel Music.

“I’m so thankful to Benny Brown and North Chapel Records for giving me my first record deal,” says Woodard. “I’m really excited for this next season, and all that God is going to do with this music. I just pray that my songs will give people hope, lift them up and encourage them through the journey of life.”

“I’ve been so blessed in my life that, at this point, I want to focus on trying to help people,” shares Brown. “A song is a powerful thing. If it captures the right person at the right time in their life, then it can completely change their life. If I’m able to reach just one person and change their life, then it’s all been worth it.”

Brown will serve as President of North Chapel Records.

Wendy Buckner has been appointed Vice President of North Chapel Records. Buckner brings more than 20 years of experience in publishing, music and TV production, and artist management. Buckner will also continue in her current role as Senior Creative Director for North Chapel Music.

“Wendy has been a foundational element in the inspiration and formation of North Chapel Records,” adds Brown. “She and I share the same passion for music and helping others and the same desire to spread the word of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.” Brown added, “I am relying on her years of experience in the entertainment business and her vast network of relationships to help guide North Chapel forward.”
