GOSPO CENTRIC RECORDS LAUNCHES NEW WEB SITE
Pioneer Record Label Highlights Talent on the Net
Nashville, TN Gospo Centric Records is excited to announce the
launch of their new web site, www.gospocentric.com. The site will
feature the latest news, tour schedules and music from Gospo Centricıs
award-winning roster of artists. Visitors to the site will have the chance to
enter special contests and purchase the latest Gospo Centric releases.
Recent projects from Gospo Centric include GRAMMY nominated producer/recording
artist Percy Badyıs debut album The Percy Bady Experience and new DVDıs
from "Prince of Praise" Byron Cage and Stellar Award-winning Female Vocalist of
the Year Dorinda Clark-Cole. Coming soon is three-time Stellar Award nominee
Natalie Wilson & the S.O.P. Choraleıs sophomore release, The Good Life,
and "American Idol" Wild Card R.J. Heltonıs debut album, Real Life, which
is slated for a February 2004 release.
Gospo Centric Records and B-Rite Music, owned by Vicki Mack-Lataillade and her
husband Claude, was founded by Ms. Mack-Lataillade in 1993 with $6,000 she
borrowed from her fatherıs postal pension. Among her first signings was
three-time GRAMMY winner Kirk Franklin, whose albums have sold over 12 million
copies, making him one of the most successful Gospel artists of all time.
In 1995, Gospo Centric was ranked the #4 gospel label in the world by
BillboardMagazine, and by the next year the label was ranked #1,
where it remains today. Gospo Centric and Lataillade are credited with
producing the first gospel Pay-Per-View concert (Kirk Franklin, 1999), the first
gospel video to receive heavy rotation on MTV ("Stomp," Kirk Franklin) and the
first album of all new, original gospel music written for a major motion picture
(Kingdom Come, 20th Century Fox). Moreover, Franklinıs groundbreaking
style and sound has led a revolution among gospel artists, with "Lean On Me"
garnering a GRAMMY nomination for Song of the Year, an unprecedented honor for a
gospel artist.
In addition to Franklin, Clark-Cole, Cage, Helton and Natalie Wilson & the
S.O.P. Chorale, Gospo Centric & B-Rite Music artists include Gold-selling
Stellar Award winner Kurt Carr and the Kurt Carr Singers, GRAMMY Award-winning
gospel music legend Tramaine Hawkins, Gold-selling Stellar Award winner
Trin-i-tee 5:7, Reggae legend Papa San and GRAMMY Award-winning producer/recording
artist Percy Bady.
All Gospo Centric Records projects are distributed by Provident Music
Distribution and Zomba/BMG Distribution.
