Skaggs was just three years old when he began harmonizing with his mother as she sang gospel songs. His path to stardom has always included gospel.
“For someone who has spent my entire career playing music in the marketplace, not in the church, this is quite an honor,” said Skaggs. “I’ve always loved the Gospel and I sing about it in many different ways. I’ve never seen myself as a Christian artist, just an artist who is a Christian. I’m very grateful for this award.”
