"Sam Mizell is truly a master songwriter," says Steve Rice, head of Centricity Publishing. "I've watched Sam receive award after award over the years, heard nothing but great things about him from artists and co-writers, and am now thrilled to know him personally. Sam is an excellent addition to the Centricity Publishing team, and I look forward to supporting him in what the Lord has called him to do through songwriting.

"For a writer, finding a champion is paramount," says Mizell. "I have found that champion. Centricity's heart towards being creative and Christ centered is overwhelming. From my initial conversation with Steve Rice there was no doubt this was home, and as always, God's timing was perfect. I am super stoked to partner with Centricity and be a part of what God is doing in music."
