Bell Partners Worldwide has acquired Gotee Records, establishing Bell Partners Christian Music. The acquisition includes Gotee's label operations and Emack Music Publishing, with current Gotee executives Joey Elwood and Toby McKeehan maintaining leadership roles.

Gotee Records, founded in 1992 in Tennessee, has been instrumental in launching successful Christian artists including Relient K, Jennifer Knapp, SonicFlood, and Jamie Grace. Their current roster features Jon Reddick, Cochren & Co., Terrian, Ryan Stevenson, and Joseph O'Brien.

Joey Elwood, who will serve as CEO of Bell Partners Christian Music, emphasizes this move as a strategic evolution rather than an exit strategy. The partnership combines Gotee's 30-year independent label experience with Bell Partners' global infrastructure to expand Christian music's worldwide reach.

Bell Partners Worldwide, headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden, operates across the US, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. The company specializes in:

• Rights management
• Publishing
• Synchronization
• Licensing
• Label services

Hayden Bell, founder and CEO of Bell Partners, expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting their shared commitment to nurturing talent and expanding Christian music's global influence. The collaboration aims to create new opportunities for artists while sharing inspirational messages with worldwide audiences.
