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

Gotee Records, founded in 1992, has been instrumental in launching successful Christian artists including Relient K, Jennifer Knapp, SonicFlood, and Jamie Grace. The label's 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.

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 expanding Christian music's global influence and creating new opportunities for artists worldwide.

The acquisition aims to strengthen both companies' ability to nurture talent while expanding the global reach of Christian music through combined resources and expertise.
