Media personality Jawn Murray is venturing into new territory by releasing a CD compilation in partnership with EMI Gospel.
The former Tom Joyner Morning Show entertainment reporter, who resigned from the syndicated radio show in June, will release his debut CD, “Jawn Murray presents Untapped” in stores and online Today, September 13, 2011.
“This project was a natural extension of who I am because of my overall passion for gospel music. Finding 10 artists with a fresh sound and being able to give them a platform to be recognized is a dream project for me. Anyone who knows me knows I’ve always wanted to be able to utilize my success in mainstream entertainment to empower the gospel industry and I believe this project is a step in that direction,” Murray told EUR’s Lee Bailey.
Murray, a regular entertainment and pop culture contributor on HLN shows like “The Joy Behar Show,” “Prime News,” “Issues with Jane Velez-Mitchell” and “Your Views,” said the inspiration for his CD came even before breaking into the business 12 years ago.
“I had three high profile heroes before I started working in entertainment professionally: Oprah Winfrey, Will Smith and Kirk Franklin. The reason I admired Kirk was because he was this church boy who loved God, but bridged the gap between the faith-based community and mainstream entertainment. It showed that you can love God and be normal. You can love God and dress fly. You can love God and have balance! That inspired me and I always said when given the opportunity, I was going to do the same thing,” Murray explained.
The partnership with EMI Gospel came as a result of the Washington, DC-based journalist having worked behind the scenes with the company in the artist development capacity and with media coaching artists like Kierra Sheard, Micah Stampley, Darlene McCoy and Forever Jones, among others.
“It just made sense to work with a label that I had a great rapport with,” Murray said, before adding: “And I have always believed you work with people that want to work with you!”
The label’s president is thrilled by the early response that “Jawn Murray presents Untapped” is receiving from both the industry and consumers alike.
“We’re amazed at the talented, but unknown, gospel artists we often hear. Working with Jawn Murray on the ‘Untapped’ project has been a great way to introduce some of these gifted artists to the world,” said Ken Pennell, President of EMI Gospel.
After receiving more than 300 entries for the 10 slots on the CD; Murray, EMI executives and celebrity judges Dr. Bobby Jones (“Bobby Jones Gospel”), singer and TV talent Lexi, Grammy-nominee VaShawn Mitchell and radio host Gerard Bonner (“Bonnerfide Radio”) chose the following finalists: Brian Reeves, Charles Butler & Trinity, Derrick Bull & Remnant, FaLawna Barton, Joy Lewis, Lawrence Flowers & Intercession, Madelyn Berry, Tasha Page-Lockhart, Tobbi White-Darks and Tonia Hughes.
One of the artists selected will receive a recording contract with EMI Gospel and have their CD executive produced by Murray. The winner will be announced in early 2012.

Thanks for the helpful article. It is also my opinion that mesothelioma has an extremely long latency period of time, which means that the signs of the disease would possibly not emerge till 30 to 50 years after the preliminary exposure to mesothelioma. Pleural mesothelioma, which is the most common sort and has an effect on the area within the lungs, will cause shortness of breath, torso pains, and a persistent coughing, which may bring about coughing up maintain.

One thing I’ve noticed is the fact there are plenty of misconceptions regarding the banking institutions intentions while talking about home foreclosure. One fairy tale in particular is that often the bank wants your house. The lender wants your hard earned dollars, not the house. They want the bucks they lent you with interest. Keeping away from the bank will undoubtedly draw a foreclosed realization. Thanks for your write-up.

Thanks for your ideas. One thing we’ve noticed is banks and financial institutions know the dimensions and spending behaviors of consumers as well as understand that plenty of people max out their cards around the trips. They correctly take advantage of this fact and begin flooding your own inbox and also snail-mail box together with hundreds of 0 APR credit card offers shortly when the holiday season closes. Knowing that for anyone who is like 98% in the American community, you’ll leap at the possiblity to consolidate credit card debt and switch balances to 0 interest rates credit cards.

The problem is that every state offers own laws and regulations which may have interaction in an adverse manner in relation to foreclosure policies.
