Jones will oversee the song selection and production for the forthcoming live recording by EPM’s First Lady Chrystal Rucker who’s inaugural CD “You Deserve” debuted at #10 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums chart in 2012. He will also work with the rest of the label roster that includes Keith Williams, Vincent Tharpe & Kenosis and Charles Butler & Trinity. The social media guru will also manage and create marketing strategies for the label and its upcoming CDs.
“Joining forces with Gerald Jones is a dream come true,” says EPM Music Group CEO Earnest Pugh. “As a new label, A&R and Marketing is crucial if you plan to be a game changer. With Gerald’s years of experience in the industry along with his cutting edge marketing strategies he is going to be a big asset to EPM and the personal brands of each artist on the label. We’re ecstatic to have a new team member of his caliber because I’m building a team so our roster will win.”
“Gerald has already demonstrated his level of expertise in the area of on-line marketing as he has been instrumental in our increase in digital sales,” EPM Group President Keith Williams adds. “There is nowhere to go but up from here. It’s a joy having him here in Atlanta to empower our staff and bring fresh ideas on a weekly basis.” Over the course of his career, Jones has been a producer on daytime TV programs such as Dr. Phil, The Tyra Banks Show and Divorce Court, among others. He also hosts two weekly Internet radio broadcasts.
