The ever so talented and poised 11-year-old Robyn Gordon is on the rise and making history as the New Year rolls in. She is a proud nominee for the 31st annual, 2016 Stellar Gospel Music Awards and will represent her home state of Tennessee and millions of young people in Gospel music. Her nomination is for her new hit single ‘He Is B4 Me,’ produced by the award winning executive producer, Tre’Corley, of Oak Tree Productions. Number #25 will be Robyn and the Gordon family’s favorite number for some time to come. That number and the Youth Category for this year’s nominations, combined with countless votes is what drove the win home.

Often called ‘The Stellars’ by both industry professionals and those in the know, many talented people have seen their dreams come true in just one night. Robyn is no ordinary 11-year-old. She is one who enjoys an abundance of love and support from her immediate family. Her mother is none other than the esteemed Lady Treva Gordon. Her father is the senior pastor of the Clarksville based Mile High Church, Rev. Robert Gordon. She has two older brothers: the athletic and grounded 14-year-old Tevin; and U.S. Navy serviceman Robert Gordon, Jr., age 20.

How does one sum up the extraordinary, cute as a button (with seamless manners and unyielding courtesy) 11-year-old Robyn Gordon? She’s an honor student, author, singer, songwriter, community activist, pre-teen beauty queen and more. She is the current reigning Miss. Junior Unite for the Miss Unite ‘Once in a Wifetime-Beauty behind Bars’ self esteem and awareness pageant.

The Stellar Gospel Music Awards is presented by the Chicago, Illinois based Central City Productions, Inc. Thirty years ago, the first awards show was taped at the Arie Crown Theatre in Chicago. The Stellar Awards has now become the premier Gospel event recognizing and honoring 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. Founded in 1970 by Don Jackson, Chicago-based Central City Productions is a distributor of original programming to television and cable networks.

Dreams do come true and this one did for the bubbly and charismatic Robyn Gordon from the Volunteer State. She will share the same stage with seasoned music industry royalty and more recent members of the noted Gospel music field. The Stellar Awards still holds the #1 slot as the top Gospel music awards event in the world. This year media personalities Rickey Smiley and Sherri Sheppard will host. Icons and humbled hopefuls alike will bring their own flair pop and pizzazz to the all inclusive Orleans Hotel and Casino, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
