Sam Chappell Receives Platinum Record for GRITS

I was the manager for GRITS early on in their career. They were signed to Gotee records and their song “Ooh Ahh (My Life Be Like)” was the first certified platinum record that Gotee ever had. It just got certified in the last couple months of 2018. I was managing the group when all that music happened, but it took years to certify platinum. GRITS is one of the first artists Gotee ever signed and they were some of the early producers of Christian hip-hop. That song was a huge song for them and it’s awesome that it just got commemorated officially. This is me with Joey Elwood who is President of Gotee Records and cofounder with Toby Mac. Joey presented me with the platinum record at the Gotee office in Nashville. Joey’s been a friend of mine for a long time. We were even roommates for a while. We’ve been friends for probably 25 years.
