The Urban Gospel Alliance (UGA) is a Gospel music industry organization with a focus on the urban market. It is a forum and platform for all facets of urban gospel music. From Contemporary Gospel, Holy Hip Hop, Inspirational, Gospel Jazz, Neo-Soul, and Reggae, we have become an outlet for all of these styles of music. Because we realize that independent label artists have more limitations than major label artists and a greater necessity for a forum of this nature, our focus will be on independent label artists. However, we will by no means exclude or alienate our major label brothers and sisters that are putting it down for Christ.
UGA provides opportunities for non-traditional artists, while also offering a breeding ground for discussion and dialogue to gain mutual understanding and respect for the urban artists' ministries. Our mission is to bridge the gap between non-traditional artists and the church; to be a catalyst for acceptance of the urban artists' ministries.
UGA is also a forum for all urban gospel artists to unify. We incorporate education, entertainment, social programs, conferences, retreats, and more to help unify and open doors that are not readily opened for performers of urban gospel music.
