MTS Management Group artists are also top contenders in the final nomination round. Heistheartist was nominated for “Best Urban Solo Artist” and Sarantos for “Best Alternative Solo Artist.”
Nominated for “Best Urban Solo Artist,” Heistheartist is an inspirational artist to watch. An American Experimental Christian singer-songwriter from Central Islip, NY, it is no surprise Heistheartist was recognized by fans as “Best Urban Solo Artist.” Formerly a secular neo-soul singer signed to “Bentley Records” under his biological name “LeeMann Bassey,” Heistheartist discovered that his true calling was with the Lord after hearing an inspiring sermon by TD Jakes online one day. That day he was inspired to teach the world about the Lord like TD Jakes did with his Sermon, but through music.
