Jovonta Patton Brings Holiday Joy with A Cali Christmas: A Celebration of Family, Faith, and Festivity
When it comes to the holiday season, few things bring people together like music. This year, gospel sensation Jovonta Patton, a #1 Billboard chart-topping artist and Stellar Award-winning powerhouse, gifts us a reason to gather, sing, and worship with his debut Christmas EP, A Cali Christmas.
This isn’t just another Christmas album—it’s a heartfelt dedication to his youngest daughter, Cali, born on Christmas Day in 2019. The project, created under Patton’s new partnership with Integrated Music Rights, merges soul-stirring live performances, timeless classics, and fresh originals, showcasing why Patton remains one of gospel’s most innovative voices.
A Christmas Masterpiece with Family at Its Heart
Recorded live and co-produced by Grammy-winning maestro Phil Cornish, A Cali Christmas offers a magical listening experience from start to finish. It’s more than an EP; it’s an invitation into the Patton household during the most wonderful time of the year.
“It was important for me to make this project a family affair,” Patton shares, smiling. “I wanted my daughters, Ella, Zoey, and Cali, to feel part of something timeless. These are the songs we’ll sing every year when we’re decorating the tree or baking cookies.”
One of the standout tracks, a touching rendition of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, features his daughters’ sweet voices, creating a moment as warm and joyful as sipping hot cocoa by the fire. “Hearing them on the track fills my heart. It’s what Christmas is all about—family, love, and togetherness.”
From Worship to Wonder: A Complete Holiday Soundtrack
The EP masterfully balances sacred reverence and holiday cheer. Tracks like Oh Holy Night and Oh Come Let Us Adore Him elevate listeners into a place of worship, while originals like Christmas Is Here and A King is Born inject fresh energy into the season’s soundtrack.
“A Christmas album should be versatile,” Patton explains. “I want people to feel the spirit of the holidays whether they’re shopping, cooking, opening gifts, or having a quiet moment with God. This album is my way of bringing that full-circle experience to life.”
A Partnership Rooted in Purpose
The EP also marks Patton’s first collaboration with Integrated Music Rights, part of the Integrity Music family. For Patton, this partnership represents more than just a professional milestone—it’s a chance to amplify his message of faith on a global stage.
“Working with such a respected team allowed me to dream bigger. I wanted A Cali Christmas to feel universal yet deeply personal, and they gave me the tools to do just that,” he says.
Keeping the Message of Christmas Alive
Patton’s vision extends beyond the music. As a Minneapolis native and advocate for community empowerment, he’s committed to using his platform to inspire and uplift. His music is a vehicle for hope, reminding listeners of the true meaning of Christmas.
“We’ve all had our struggles, especially these last few years,” Patton reflects. “Christmas is a time to reset, to focus on what matters—faith, family, and love. I hope this album gives people the soundtrack to do just that.”
Setting the Stage for Generations to Come
With A Cali Christmas, Patton cements himself not only as a gospel innovator but as a creator of lasting traditions. This is an album built to grow with families, to echo through living rooms for years to come.
“Cali may have inspired this project, but it’s really for everyone,” Patton says. “I want this music to be a part of someone’s Christmas memories, the way certain songs defined my own growing up. That’s the ultimate gift for me as an artist.”
