Hit songwriter Jonathan Gamble and Dove Award winning-producer and songwriter Jordan Sapp have extended their publishing deals with Capitol Christian Music Group.

Hailing from Alabama and now in Music City, Gamble has amassed No. 1 hits with Jamie MacDonald (“Desperate”), Leanna Crawford (“Still Waters (Psalm 23)”), and Seph Schlueter (“Counting My Blessings”). His additional cuts also include Lauren Daigle, Danny Gokey, Jesus Culture, Tauren Wells, Josiah Queen, Ben Fuller and MaRynn Taylor.

Sapp started his career in Los Angeles where he worked with Pitbull, Austin Mahone, Jason Derulo, Nicki Minaj, and Jennifer Lopez as part of RedOne’s production team. Since moving to Nashville, he has garnered 16 No. 1 radio singles, multiple Dove Awards, and more than 2.4 billion streams through Christian and pop music.

“Jonathan is a true student of the craft of songwriting and has taught me so much about what it looks like to come alongside and advocate for writers in today’s music economy,” says David Gutekunst, Executive Vice President of publishing for CCMG. “Jordan is one of the most kind and humble people I have met in this business. He champions and cheers others on in such a special way. We are happy not only to be extending our publishing relationship with Jonathan and Jordan, but as a part of those new deals – finding new and creative ways to incentivize them to lean in and partner with CCMG artists going forward. It’s a meaningful move in the right direction that underscores CCMG’s mission of serving artists and writers.”

“I’m thrilled to continue this partnership with Jonathan Gamble and Jordan Sapp,” shares Sr. Director Creative Publishing Katie Barolak. “Their songwriting speaks for itself, but it’s their character and drive that make them truly special. They have an incredible ability to push boundaries and elevate everyone in their orbit. What they’re doing is shaping the future of music, and it’s an honor to stand alongside them.”

“Jordan Sapp is an exceptional songwriter and creative force whose talent, vision, and work ethic consistently distinguish him in our market,” adds Sr. Director Creative Publishing Terryl Padilla. “He has a unique ability to understand the sound and direction of the artists he collaborates with and bring their vision to life in a way that feels authentic to each of them. We’re proud to support him as his creative publisher and excited to see his continued evolution build on what is already an impressive and influential career.”
