Bell Partners Worldwide Acquires Gotee Records, Launches Bell Partners Christian Music

Tennessee-based Christian music label Gotee Records has officially entered into an agreement with Bell Partners Worldwide to acquire Gotee's label operations and Emack Music Publishing. The partnership marks the launch of Bell Partners Christian Music, a new division dedicated to expanding the global reach of Christian artists.
Gotee executives Joey Elwood and Toby McKeehan will remain in leadership roles at Gotee as well as Bell Partners Christian Music, with Elwood serving as CEO.
Since its founding in 1992, Gotee Records has been a driving force in the Christian music industry, launching the careers of Relient K, Jennifer Knapp, SonicFlood, Jamie Grace, and many others. The label's current roster features Jon Reddick, Cochren & Co., Terrian, Ryan Stevenson, Joseph O'Brien, and more.
Elwood sees this transition as an opportunity to amplify Gotee's mission with the added support of Bell Partners' expansive network.
"This isn't an exit strategy-it's a strategic evolution. After many discussions with Bell Partners, we saw the potential in combining our 30 years of independent label experience with Bell Partners' global infrastructure. This partnership allows us to elevate Christian music on a worldwide scale, and we're excited for what's ahead." - Joey Elwood
