Brandon Camphor & One Way are stepping into a new chapter of their musical journey. After nearly two decades together, the dynamic group has secured their very first Stellar Award, taking home Traditional Duo/Chorus Group of the Year at the 40th Anniversary celebration of the Stellar Awards Gospel Music Academy in Nashville, TN
.
The quartet—comprised of Brandon Camphor, Fred Cleveland, Angela Jones, and Julia McMillan Lamur—has long been recognized for their inspiring sound and unwavering faith. But this moment, Camphor explained during their heartfelt acceptance speech, carries a deeper meaning:
“This moment is special because of what this award represents for us. After nearly 20 years in ministry together, this award represents patience, perseverance, faith and most of all PROMISE. A word God never fails to live up to!”
The win comes as a powerful prelude to new music from the group. Their single “After While” is already climbing the Billboard® and MediaBase® radio charts, bringing a message of hope in the midst of global uncertainty. Soon to follow is “God of Mine”, a collaboration with urban contemporary artist Jor’Dan Armstrong, offering a vibrant declaration of faith and strength.
Both singles are featured on their highly anticipated album, Hope Lives, their first full-length release since 2009’s Regeneration. The 14-track project is designed to encourage listeners with songs of faith, resilience, and divine assurance.
Hope Lives showcases Brandon Camphor & One Way’s ability to merge heartfelt worship with urban contemporary energy. Alongside original tracks like “Forever” and “God of Mercy,” the group breathes new life into beloved songs such as “Goodness of God” and the iconic “Lift Every Voice and Sing.”
Camphor describes the project as deeply personal:
“The songs on this album became the soundtrack to my journey of rediscovering hope. Each lyric carries a piece of that healing. My prayer is that they meet others in their darkest moments and lead them to the unending, life-changing hope found in truly knowing Jesus.”
With a career marked by four Billboard® Top 30 singles—“You Are God,” “I Choose You,” “His Name,” and “God of Mercy”—plus their 2020 holiday EP Christmas Joy, Brandon Camphor & One Way have established themselves as a force in the gospel music landscape.
Now, with their Stellar Award win and the release of Hope Lives, the group is poised to inspire a new generation of believers with a sound rooted in tradition yet refreshingly contemporary.
