The Writing Worship Podcast - For Worship Songwriters

Vince Wilcox has enjoyed a lifetime of rich experiences as music industry professional, attorney, educator, and author.

Starting in the warehouse of Nashville’s Benson Records in 1979, Vince rose through the ranks to eventually become vice president of marketing before resigning in 1991 to write and tour as an artist for five years. Along the way, he recorded three albums, had dozens of songs published, and was executive producer for 70 projects—including a Dove Award-winning album. His artistic collaboration with Don Pardoe earned them four #1 Christian Country singles and the industry’s Horizon Award for Best New Artist in 1997.

In the late ’90s, Vince returned to the corporate setting as vice president of BMG’s Provident Music Distribution, overseeing sales for such artists as Jars of Clay, Michael W. Smith, Fred Hammond, and Third Day. In 2001, he left Provident to form VanLiere-Wilcox Artist Management, co-managing NewSong, Todd Agnew, comedian John Morgan, and the Winter Jam Tour Spectacular. Later that decade, he entered law school to become an entertainment attorney. While in law school, he served in the Office of the Public Defender for the 21st Judicial District in Tennessee.

After graduating from law school and earning admission to the Tennessee Bar, he became general manager of Belden Street Music Publishing and Discover Worship, an online music service for choir directors and worship leaders. After teaching part-time in the Skinner School of Business & Technology at Trevecca Nazarene University for four years, Vince was promoted to assistant professor and full-time director of the Music Business program in the fall of 2020.

Vince holds a Bachelor of Arts in Religious Studies (Distinguished Major) from the University of Virginia, a Master of Science in Education (Guidance & Counseling) from Old Dominion University, and a Doctor of Jurisprudence from Nashville School of Law.

His recent book, How to Make a Living in the Music Business, joins self-published devotional studies on the Gospel of Mark and the Lord's Prayer. Vince lives with his wife and extended family in Franklin, Tennessee, with their beloved dogs.

We're delighted to be joined by songwriter and worship leader, Sharon Byrd (Kingsway Worship) as guest host for this episode.

And, on today's episode, we share an interview from our Writing Club with Jaime Jamgochian.

Sitting down to talk with Jaime, you quickly realize she is a woman of faith who God is using in many different ways through her music and message. It’s immediately evident she has a passion to see people know how much God loves them and a desire to see that reality change their lives—because it has changed hers.

Jaime came to know the Lord at 21 while studying music at Berklee College of Music in Boston. God completely changed her life and it is her greatest desire to see people encounter Jesus in a real way.

From Boston, Jaime ended up in Seattle where she was a worship leader for several years and began writing her own worship songs. It was during that time in Seattle that Jaime signed with Centricity Records and went on to record 3 albums with them. She then moved to Nashville, TN which she still calls home, and continues to travel throughout the US and internationally leading people in worship, singing songs of hope, and sharing a message of finding your value and purpose in Christ.
