Nashville, Tenn. (February 13, 2026) — New Curb Records artist and GRAMMY® winner, Lloyd Nicks, makes his label debut with “Heal For You,” out today (2/13) — listen HERE.

Written for his children, the cinematic confession reveals the newcomer, best known for co-writing CeCe Winans’ “That’s My King,” breaking generational cycles in an effort to be the kind of father he never had. With his own dad incarcerated for most of his life, the St. Louis native experienced a tumultuous father-son dynamic. The piano-led, string-laden ballad soars on the strength of poignant emotion and pristine vocals as the emerging artist vows to do whatever is required to be a healthy, present, loving parent for his kids. Nicks penned the selection with Benji Cowart and Chuck Butler, who also produced the track.

“This song started as a promise to my kids,” Nicks affirms. “So many parents have shared how they’re choosing healing to stop cycles for their children, and that’s what this song lives for. If you’re doing the work — whether for your kids, your family or the younger you — this song is yours, too.”

Already a GRAMMY® and Billboard Music Award winner, and three-time GMA Dove Award nominee, Nicks signed a recording contract with Curb in 2025. His award-winning hit, Winans’ “That’s My King,” stayed at No.1 on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart for an impressive 49 weeks. At press time, “That’s My King” has now remained on the chart for 103 weeks and currently sits at No. 3.

About Lloyd Nicks:

Lloyd Nicks is experiencing what some call an overnight success...that’s taken 15 years. Lloyd has been faithful to his calling of bringing people together through his music and message, showing that we have more in common than what sets us apart. With several major successes — winning a 2025 GRAMMY® Award, co-writing a 49-week #1 single on Billboard’s Hot Gospel Songs Chart, co-writing a 2024 Billboard Music Award-winning song — his songs resonate with audiences far and wide. Since beginning his musical journey, Lloyd has become a prolific songwriter and talented artist, crafting songs that reflect the realness of being human — the highs and lows, joys and sorrows. His personal experiences — like grieving the loss of his mother at 26, and starting a family of his own — deeply shape his music, and his diverse community is reflected in his music that is a soundtrack to our lives. Born in East St. Louis and raised in Cahokia, IL, Lloyd had a difficult childhood. With his father in prison for most of his life, he often felt unseen and unheard — until he was about 14. That’s when he began to find his voice, both in sound and in purpose. Inspired by gospel greats like Fred Hammond, Marvin Sapp, and the Winans, he set out to give a voice to the voiceless. Through his Common Ground Initiative, he is now creating opportunities for others striving to learn about the music industry and the journey he took to get where he is now. Lloyd earned his undergraduate degree in Vocal Performance from Greenville University and later obtained a Master’s in Management. His versatile artistry blends gospel, urban, and contemporary music, drawing listeners in with its authenticity and depth. Through his music, Lloyd leans into his perspective as a husband, father, friend, and pastor — all through the lens of someone who loves Jesus. Lloyd has been busy in the studio working on his Curb Records debut album, Paper-Maché, with songs from the album releasing across 2026. Lloyd’s current catalogue of music is available wherever you listen to music. Lloyd proudly calls St. Louis his home, where he lives with his wife, Ashley, and their kids, Zoey and Dillan.
