47th Annual Pepperdine Associates Dinner

AMY GRANT

As the first contemporary Christian artist to have a platinum record, the first to hit number one on the pop charts, and the first to perform at the GRAMMY Awards, Amy Grant is often credited with having put contemporary Christian music on the map. Her career spans more than 40 years and stretches from her roots in gospel into becoming a renowned pop star, songwriter, television personality, and philanthropist. With three multi-platinum albums, six platinum albums, and four gold albums, her total career album sales have exceeded 30 million, with more than one billion global streams. In addition to her six GRAMMY Awards, Grant has earned 26 Dove Awards (including four Artist of the Year Awards) and has been awarded stars on both the Hollywood Walk of Fame and Music City Walk of Fame. Most recently, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts included Grant as one of the five distinguished performers receiving the 45th Kennedy Center Honors for lifetime artistic achievement. This year Grant will be touring across 70 cities nationwide and releasing her first new music in a decade, starting with the single “Trees We’ll Never See.”
