Rising London-based Christian & Gospel Music Company, Wings Music Group, Signs Joint Venture Deal with Capitol Christian Music Group and Capitol Records

Capitol Christian Music Group and Capitol Records announced a joint venture deal with rising London-based Christian & Gospel music company, Wings Music Group. Under the new deal select Wings’ artists will have access to Capitol Music Group’s expertise and promotional muscle to expand their opportunities and fanbases around the world.

Founded in 2020 by former Integrity Music executives Chris Lawson Jones and Brad Heydon, Wings Music Group is a fast-growing independent music company focused on discovering, developing and scaling the next generation of Christian & Gospel artists. Built around artist ownership, creative ambition and long-term partnership, Wings provides global distribution, publishing administration, management and strategic development to an expanding international roster.

Christian & Gospel music is on the rise globally, posting double digit increases last year across Latin America, Sub-Saharan Africa, Asia and more. In the U.S., the genre’s streaming numbers grew by more than 18% in 2025 alone.

“Chris and Brad have built in Wings a modern, global music operation with huge ambitions to fuel continued growth in the genre with their exceptional artists,” said Tom March, Chairman and CEO of Capitol Music Group. “They have a real passion for artist development and we are excited to leverage our expertise to provide Wings’ artists with the global platform they need.”

Brad O’Donnell, President of Capitol Christian Music Group commented, “Wings is one of the most exciting music companies in contemporary Christian & Gospel music globally. We are thrilled to partner together to help them continue to build their impressive successes around the world.”

Chris Lawson Jones said: “This is an unprecedented time of growth for our genre, one that requires bold ideas and real innovation to make the most of the opportunity in front of us. Capitol CMG brings decades of Christian & Gospel expertise, while Capitol brings the ambition and global infrastructure to take the music further than it’s been before, which is exactly why we wanted to partner with them. Our artists now have access to world class people and resources when they need help maximising the reach and impact of their music. This kind of model, a major and an indie building together and playing to each other’s strengths, is where I believe our industry is heading, and I’m proud we get to help shape that future.”

Wings’ roster includes more than 100 artists across its services, including Sondae, LIN D, Jonathan Ogden, Ally Minju and CityAlight and has established itself as one of the most dynamic independent companies operating at the intersection of faith, music and global culture.
