Combining impassioned lyrics, and stellar musicianship, VaShawn Mitchell has cultivated a hallmark sound that has always been and continues to be affirming, inspiring and produces power-filled songs. It’s these attributes that endure on ELEMENTS, Mitchell’s first full project in three years.

Hailed as Gospel music’s connector, VaShawn Mitchell has spent a career being the plug for established and emerging artists, the real energetic, creative source for artists both as a writer, and producer all while charting a path of his own as an exceptional talent.

Born in Harvey, Illinois well regarded as the ‘birthplace of Gospel music,’ the imprint of Chicago is clear throughout Mitchell’s life and music. “God has allowed me to go on a musical journey from the choir director and teacher, to writing music and writing for other artists and working behind the scenes,” he said. “That was all training ground for what I experience today. From the choir to praise and worship, to traveling the world internationally, it has definitely been a huge journey. I attribute the process to God … He has allowed me to see everything, experience everything, and grow from everything I’ve been through to this moment.”

Mitchell’s music has evolved, and it was his career-defining hit, “Nobody Greater,” that gave him not only his most significant hit but the vision for reach beyond the walls of the church. It is ELEMENTS that offers a culmination of the full breadth of his 20-year career with a fusion of pop, rock, gospel, and the signature Chicago gospel sound that has defined him.

The multiple Grammy, Dove & Stellar Award winner and nominee said, “I was looking back at the twenty years, and thinking about my start in music, and what I’ve accomplished. I realize there are specific elements in life and elements of God that allowed me to get to where I am.” “I purposely want to write music regarding my personal story, and how God used elements like fire, wind and rain to speak to me at times in my life that needed to be spoken to.”
