About Me

Richard Cummins CD, 'Moments', garners nomination for "Best Pop/Contemporary Album Of The Year" by the GMA (Gospel Music Association) Canada/USA.Richard winning the nomination alone is especially encouraging as this year saw the GMA's receiving the highest amount of submissions in it's history since 1974. Amidst all the potential artist choices, Richard's album was selected alongside only 4 others out of all of Canada for Pop/Contemporary.
Richard also wishes to thank the GMA for pursuing him and challenging him to submit the album, and ultimately for their recognition even in the nomination - as the record was produced without religious agenda, and is simply Richard's 'story' - or testimony - in song and musical genre.
