Bell Partners Worldwide has acquired Tennessee-based Christian music label Gotee Records, establishing Bell Partners Christian Music. The acquisition includes Gotee's label operations and Emack Music Publishing.

Current Gotee executives Joey Elwood and Toby McKeehan will maintain their leadership positions, with Elwood serving as CEO of both Gotee and Bell Partners Christian Music. Founded in 1992, Gotee Records has launched successful artists like Relient K, Jennifer Knapp, SonicFlood, and Jamie Grace. Their current roster includes Jon Reddick, Cochren & Co., Terrian, Ryan Stevenson, and Joseph O'Brien.

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, specializing in rights management, publishing, synchronization, licensing, and label services.

"This isn't an exit strategy — it's a strategic evolution," explains Elwood. The partnership aims to elevate Christian music globally while maintaining Gotee's established industry presence.

Hayden Bell, founder and CEO of Bell Partners, emphasizes their commitment to expanding Christian music's global influence: "Together, we will unlock new opportunities for artists, empower their voices, and share their inspirational messages with audiences around the world."
