Also, in breaking news - Broderick McGee the Maestro won the Gospel Musician of the Year Award.
About the Awards: For 25 years, the Texas Gospel Music Excellence Awards (TGMEA), founded by Pastor Larry Davies has been one of the top gospel award shows in the country. It was his desire then, as it still is today, to reward independent artists for the excellence they have shown through their ministry.
Prior to starting TGMEA in 1998, Pastor Davies assisted with a similar event called the Texas Gospel Music Awards. It was very similar to the TGMA, however, with the hiring of a camera crew, and renting of an elaborate Downtown Houston hotel space, it required a much bigger operating budget. Unfortunately, after several attempts over a 3-year period of time, the Founder of the TGMA decided to end the ceremony. Pastor Davies sized up TGMA and made some changes. The results were a significant increase in attendance over the 2-day period.

Upon graduating from John Tyler High School (class of 88), he received his associate degree from Tyler Junior College, a bachelor's degree in business administration from Le Tourneau University, and a master’s degree in human resource management from Columbia Southern University.
