FAIRFAX, Va., Sept. 7, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Stellar Award Gospel Music Association recently announced the first round ballot nominations for the 27th Annual Stellar Awards with KingdomGate Music Group Inspirational Recording Artist Tanya Dallas-Lewis making multiple ballot appearances. (New Artist of the Year and Contemporary Female Vocalist of the Year)

Far from being a newcomer to the game, Tanya Dallas-Lewis has shared the stage with some of gospel's greatest, including Vicki Winans, Yolanda Adams, Donnie McClurkin, Kenny Lattimore, Mary Mary and Richard Smallwood. With a personality as upbeat as her lead single 'Faults,' Tanya's debut album 'Miracles,' was released in October 2010 and continues to take the gospel music industry by storm, charting in the Top 100's on all three gospel charts. "I was in shock when I got the call that I had made the first round ballot! I am beyond grateful and hopeful that I make the second round as well," states Tanya.

The sound of Tanya Dallas-Lewis is angelic, uplifting and inspiring. Her debut project hails some of the music industry's best producers, songwriters and musicians including PJ Morgan, Stellar Award Winner Isaiah D. Thomas, Vahaugan Stephanyan and Maharold Peoples. Featuring a range reminiscent of Yolanda Adams, the album's classic hit single, 'Something About A Miracle,' (produced by Isaiah D. Thomas), has an accompanying music video presently in heavy rotation on BET. The song was chosen by the sponsors of VH1's 'SaveThe Music' as song of the year, amidst other awards.

This three-time Rhythm of Gospel Awards Nominee, 2010 YGEA Awards 'Winner for 'Best Female Performer of Year' and Washington DC Area Music Association Nominee will be featured on BET's Dr. Bobby Jones Gospel this fall.

Voting for the first round 27th Stellar Award ballot has ended. The Second and final ballot will be open to the general public September 19th through October 11th.
