Hollyn

Upcoming artist who has been touring with TobyMac, Hollyn, was just announced as Gotee Records newest signee and her self-titled debut EP will drop tomorrow, October 16 at all digital outlets including iTunes here.

Physical copies can be purchased online at www.gotee.com/store or at shows, and the 6-song EP features debut single "Alone (feat. TRU)." The song has been playing on the Air1 radio network for the past two weeks. The track was written by Hollyn, Toby McKeehan, producer Bryan Fowler and TRU. 

"Every few years it's my honor to discover a new artist to walk alongside helping them write songs and begin their journey into artistry. I love this music, and I love sharing this talent with people coming to my shows," said artist and Gotee CEO TobyMac in a press release. "Hollyn is the 'right on time' breath of fresh air that our industry needs. She's one of the best singers that I've ever recorded and is becoming a great songwriter in her own right. And the beautiful thing is, this is only the beginning." 

The young singer is from Ohio, and raised in the church and on the Southern Gospel music greats. She is also an American Idol alum who has been working the past two years on her national debut.

Listeners were introduced to her on TobyMac's newest release with the songs "Lights Shine Bright" and "Backseat Driver," which she is also a co-writer. As a songwriter, Hollyn co-wrote five of the six tracks on her debut EP. It also features two tracks "Hey Mama" and "Nothin' On You," which were produced by the GRAMMY-winning production team of COBRA (Dirty Rice and Joseph Prielzony), who produced two tracks on the award winning album, Anomaly, from Lecrae. It also features a cover of Lecrae's Dove Award winning song, "All I Need Is You." 

She is currently on TobyMac's "This Is Not A Test" Tour with Britt Nicole and Colton Dixon. She will join the 2016 Air1/KLOVE TobyMac "Hits Deep Tour" beginning in February.

"It's a privilege for me to go up on stage and sing," Hollyn said in a release. "God has given me this gift [so] that I can share my faith. The thing that makes me the happiest-is meeting people after the shows. I love that time! Right now my life has never been so out of control, but it's a beautiful thing. The Lord is taking me somewhere. I don't know where He's taking me, but I'm excited about it."
