“SOUNDCHECK” — VaShawn Mitchell Celebrates 30 Years of Gospel Excellence with New Album

GRAMMY-nominated gospel artist, songwriter, and producer VaShawn Mitchell commemorates an incredible 30-year journey in music with the release of his highly anticipated new album, “SOUNDCHECK,” now available on all digital streaming platforms.

Known for his anthemic worship hits and heartfelt ministry, Mitchell delivers yet another timeless project that captures the heart of worship, the power of preparation, and the beauty of unity in music. SOUNDCHECK serves as both a reflection on his three decades of ministry and a reminder of the importance of spiritual readiness before stepping into divine purpose.

Throughout his remarkable career, VaShawn Mitchell has become synonymous with gospel excellence. From chart-topping songs like “Nobody Greater” to his recent No. 1 hit “Make A Way,” Mitchell has consistently provided the soundtrack for faith, hope, and endurance.

Released earlier this year, “Make A Way” reaffirmed his place among gospel’s most beloved and consistent voices. In August 2025, Mitchell followed up with “Working Together,” a joyful declaration of unity and perseverance.

Now with SOUNDCHECK, he continues his legacy with a body of work that fuses live instrumentation, soul-stirring worship, and heartfelt storytelling. The album reflects both his seasoned artistry and his evolving passion for global ministry.

One of the standout tracks, “Glory to God,” written by South African songwriter Collen Malueke, highlights Mitchell’s commitment to international collaboration and cross-cultural worship.

Among the album’s most talked-about songs is “Wait,” a dynamic collaboration featuring Darius James and Dante Bowe. The song embodies the central message of SOUNDCHECK: that in every season of waiting, God is preparing something greater.

Reflecting on the inspiration behind the project, VaShawn Mitchell shared,

“After 30 years, I’m still passionate about creating music that prepares hearts for the presence of God. SOUNDCHECK is a reminder that before the main stage moment, there’s always preparation— spiritually, musically, and personally.”

Every song on the album echoes that sentiment, blending modern production with timeless gospel roots. The result is a worship experience that connects with both seasoned believers and a new generation hungry for authentic encounters with God.

With SOUNDCHECK, VaShawn Mitchell continues to prove why he remains a trailblazer, teacher, and trusted voice in gospel music. His ministry extends far beyond the stage, touching lives through mentorship, global worship initiatives, and community outreach.

From his early beginnings in Chicago to international acclaim, Mitchell’s impact continues to grow; his music serving as a bridge between generations, cultures, and worship styles.
