Inpop
Records announced today that it has finalized a recording agreement
with Paul Colman, former frontman and founding member of Dove Award-winning
Aussie group Paul Colman Trio (pc3). 
New
Rocketown recording artist Taylor Sorensen, has just signed with the William
Morris Agency for exclusive representation. His debut cd, The Overflow,
released on March 23, 2004. The week before the release, his first single
"Love Somebody Else" garnered the #1 spot on the CRW Rock Charts.
Taylor is a 23-year old Belmont University graduate who sings about love,
revolution, and rock 'n' roll- but not in the traditional meanings of
the words. "My music is about love, the love that let the nails go
through the hands of Jesus," Sorensen says.
The
William Morris Agency is pleased to announce exclusive representation
of new EMI/Sparrow Records artist JADYN MARIA. Born in Puerto Rico, Jadyn
is an 18 year old singer/songwriter whose first project will be released
on May 18. She is the daughter of missionary parents and began singing
in church at the very young age of two years old. Jadyn's first release,
"Choices", is a blend of pop and Latin music, with lyrics that
speak about her faith in God. "The choices you make today affect
the rest of your life. Choices about relationships, both with God and
with people, are what have the biggest impact on the direction of your
life," said Jadyn. "I want my music to encourage people to be
wise with their choices up front."
