Autumn Nelon Streetman, a member of the celebrated Nelon family and a rising voice in Southern Gospel and Christian music, has signed an exclusive songwriting contract with Daywind Publishing, marking a new chapter in her creative career.

The partnership brings Streetman into the Daywind family as a staff writer, a role that will see her crafting new music alongside some of the genre’s most respected voices. For an artist whose roots run deep in gospel music tradition, the signing feels less like a business deal and more like a homecoming.

“Signing with Daywind Publishing feels like coming home,” Streetman said. “You know, they’ve always been family to me, and I’m just so grateful to step into this new season of writing and creating music with people who believe in the songs that God has placed on my heart.”

The announcement comes on the heels of Streetman’s latest single, “I’ll Find You,” released in July. The song was co-written with Joseph Habedank and Kenna Turner West, two established names in the Southern Gospel songwriting community, and reflects the kind of collaborative, faith-driven songwriting Streetman hopes to continue through her new publishing home.

As part of the Nelon family, one of the most enduring names in Southern Gospel music, Streetman carries a musical legacy that spans generations.

Autumn Nelon Streetman and her husband Jamie are preparing to welcome their son Rhett into the world, and they recently shared a unique moment of mutual understanding about the physical challenges of pregnancy.

In a candid and lighthearted conversation, Autumn highlighted the often-overlooked difficulties women experience during pregnancy. Her experience inspired a creative demonstration to help her husband truly comprehend what she has been going through.

“You know, I feel like guys don’t really understand what women go through when you’re pregnant for nine months. Like I can’t bend down and tie my shoe. You know, I’m out of breath when I walk up 10 steps,” Autumn explained.

Determined to help Jamie understand her daily struggles, Autumn devised an innovative approach. With the help of a friend, she taped a 20-pound bag of flour to Jamie, challenging him to complete a series of workouts.

“And so I was like, you know what, Jamie? Let’s let you have a taste of what it’s like to carry around a baby for nine months,” she recounted. Surprisingly, Jamie performed remarkably well during the experiment.

As the couple anticipates the arrival of their son, their playful approach to understanding each other’s experiences demonstrates the power of empathy and communication in preparing for parenthood.

The community is invited to keep Autumn and Jamie in their prayers as they prepare to welcome their precious baby boy, Rhett, into the world.
