Tillymann Music Platinum-selling artist Tamela Mann has garnered her first Billboard Music Award nomination for Top Gospel Artist. The awards show recognizes the hottest names in music today. Tamela is currently on the Mann's World Family Tour, co-headlining with husband, actor and comedian David Mann.
