Artist: Against The Slate Song: Fractured CD: Fractured Genre: AC/Alternative/Inspo Label:New Vine Media Homepage
TRULY UNIQUE! IMPACTING AC/INSPO & Alternative Formats!
Ryan and Walter met in their freshmen year of college. Through their common love for Jesus Christ and serving Him through music they quickly became friends - learning from one another and challenging each other toward excellence. While they both shared the dream of one day using their music to change the world, they separated to answer God\'s call to local church ministry.
After many years of serving the body of Christ as Worship Leaders, getting married and raising families, Ryan was moved to contact Walter about pursuing the dream they had both shared in college. It was at this time that they decided to seriously pursue using the musical abilities with which God had gifted them in a new way. Against The Slate was born from their desire to reach both secular and sacred communities with songs that share the hope they have found in their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Soon after beginning this new journey, Walter contacted Eric - a friend and drummer - asking him to join ATS. A talented musician and servant of God for many years, Eric accepted. Now, moving forward as a part of New Vine Media, the three of them are making a difference for Christ in their local communities by sharing their songs and the stories behind them. Seeking, above all, to make Jesus famous.

Artist: Kaeli Anne Moriah Song: Promises, Promises CD: Kaeli Anne Moriah Genre: ac/chr/country Label:Independent Homepage
IMPACTING AC/CHR & COUNTRY FORMATS!!
Kaeli ANNE Moriah’s sound is pop/rock with its southern roots showing. Her vocals are like a blend of Mac Powel from Third Day and Ella Fitzgerald, or Jon Foreman from Switchfoot and Tanya Tucker. Kaeli-Anne grew up in the Church and at Nashville Songwriter events with the sounds of country and rock instruments all around her.
She says, "I’ve been involved in leading worship since I was little, and I also got to grow up right in the middle of the Nashville songwriting community. My Parents both spent a lot of time teaching me the craft of songwriting, and the importance of a personal relationship with God through Jesus Christ. I started out in Praise & Worship, and it will always be a part of what I do musically. I love the vertical in the musical equation, but I also love telling stories about life... You know, connecting with people horizontally.
Showing in a song just how real God’s love and grace are. Maybe helping someone see that God does know their name and cares so much. Showing them that this Jesus, who I know, is a Saviour like no other. Vulnerable power, eyes-wide-open purity, disciplined passion, Kaeli Anne is comfortably herself!
Whether it is Praise & Worship or Christian Contemporary Music, Kaeli Anne Moriah writes and sings in a style that is fresh, quirky-fun, and just as direct as she is. The seasoned maturity of her voice belies her 20 years. Earthy brokenness can become notes as fragile as crystal in a moment, and then scorch the air with emotion.
Raised in a close knit family where ministry, prayer, and music permeates the fabric of everything from dinner table talk to work and play, it is no surprise that she decided early to pursue music as a career. After an intense season of soul searching, she went on to answer God's specific call on her life. The call to; make loving God and people her passion, intimately knowing the Creator her pursuit, and music and prayer her ministry.

I can't let You see me this way How could You love me in my shame I fell, God I'm filthy again Still I hear You call my name

I wish this stumbling finally would end But I need Your mercy once again I’ve shed these tears so many times Still You pick me up and hold me tight
And You love me, You love me, You love me still You love me, You love me, and You always will
Artist: Corinthia Cromwell & The Evolution Band Song: Lord You Are CD: Peace Of Mind Outside The Lines Genre: ac/inspo Label:Mo' Music Homepage
ADDING TO AC & INSPO Formats!!!!
From the beginning, Corinthia Cromwell’s career has been blessed.
In the early ‘90s, Cromwell received parts in major motion pictures like Spike Lee’s Malcolm X and Reginald Hudlin’s Boomerang. In 2007, Cromwell opened up for and performed onstage with Grammy-winning saxophonist Kirk Whalum. Now with her group the Evolution Band, Cromwell has released Peace of Mind Outside the Lines, an album that seamlessly marries her twin affections for Gospel and jazz. The record is actually separated into two sides – one of spiritually uplifting praise and worship, one of silky soft jazz. Think of it in terms of vinyl; flip it over and another world is waiting.
Given how it is arranged, it’s quite an ambitious project. Many artists do not have the courage to attempt such a clear division of genres on the same record. But for Cromwell the album is an extension of a lifelong love for music that began in her adolescence, when he she discovered the power of the saxophone. “While at Frederick Douglass High School in Baltimore, Maryland, I became intrigued with the saxophone,” Cromwell recalled. “I was a classical clarinetist at the time, and during my junior year, the jazz band had an opening for a saxophonist. I asked the band director at the school if I could borrow a saxophone over the holiday break. During the break, I practiced playing with and studying the instrument. When I returned to school after the Christmas break, I auditioned for the second chair. According to the band director because I had demonstrated such promise, he placed me in the first chair. From that experience I decided that I wanted to learn more about the instrument and grow in the knowledge of mastering it and the many sounds it produced.”
On the CD, especially during the Gospel tracks, Cromwell and her Evolution Band can really generate a sound big enough to fill arenas. However, just like the group’s name, the Evolution Band has changed with time, with members shifting. “The current list of musicians are: Justin Taylor on keyboards, William Allen on drums, David Phillips on bass, and Kevin Jackson on guitar,” Cromwell said. “The Evolution Band started out in 2000 under the name of the Upfront Band featuring Corinthia Cromwell. In 2005, the name was changed to Corinthia Cromwell and the Evolution Band to reflect the new direction in which our music had developed and was heading.”

Artist: Tommy Job Song: Your Spirit Moves Me CD: Stand Upon The Rock Genre: INSPO/AC Label:Independent Homepage
IMPACTING IMMEDIATELY IN INSPO & AC RADIO!!
With a voice as powerful and soulful as Michael McDonald or Michael Bolton, Tommy Job has touched the hearts of thousands with his melodious mix of R&B, jazz, gospel and folk. His debut album, Stand Upon the Rock, spans all of these genres with the same grace and ease heard in his songs.
Born in Korea, but raised in the United States, Tommy spent his formative years in Illinois and Iowa before settling in New York. He began studying music at nine years old and by eleven he was playing guitar at his church’s main service. At 14, he began taking piano lessons from an instructor who was a music minister in the South Bronx. “It was then that I began to understand that God wanted to demonstrate His love, power and strength to me through worship,” Tommy explains.
Tommy became involved in public ministry beyond his local church. He traveled nationwide participating in retreats, revivals and college meetings often times performing to audiences of over 1,000. After years of ministering through other people’s songs, Tommy began to seriously pursue songwriting. “I began to see the Lord bless many people through my songs. From that point on, songwriting became my passion.”
With encouragement from David Choe, a legend in the Korean-Christian community, Tommy took a leap of faith and moved to South Korea in the fall of 2001 to start his ministry. After a few months, he connected with a U.S. Army Chaplain who asked him to lead worship for The Rock service. The Rock was a contemporary service on Yongsan Army Garrison in Seoul specifically geared toward young GIs. While leading worship at The Rock and other military services, Tommy played not only for the men and women in uniform, but also for Anne Graham Lotz, Evangelist Billy Kim and several generals.
Spending two years writing songs and recording, Tommy released, Stand Upon the Rock, in November 2003. By spring 2004, he had sold over 2,000 copies in South Korea alone. He was blown away by the response he received. “I constantly receive testimonials of how a particular song blessed someone immensely. All this from songs about my walk with God.” Thanks to Tommy’s network of friends from the military, his album has received radio play here in the States. Faith Radio in Montgomery, Ala., and Praise 95 in Pensacola, Fla., are just two of the stations who have been playing Tommy’s songs. With sweeping arrangements and verses that truly touch the soul, it’s no surprise Tommy’s songs have garnered so much attention.
Now residing in Nashville, Tenn., Tommy intends to grow his ministry through his music. With music that appeals to the masses, he has been able to spread a message of hope and faith to thousands of people around the world!

I could walk across the world And never find the answer I could search the sky above And never get any closer You made it all And I am left to fall at the feet Of the One who fell for me
You gave Your life for mine To have me by Your side I won’t look back anymore I am Yours You'll never say goodbye You are the reason why I won’t look back anymore Now that I am Yours
All the rest can disappear Without any traces I have nothing left to fear As long as Your face is All I can see You are all I need Every breath Every step You're here with me

Artist: Phil Wickham Song: This Is The Day CD: Response Genre: inspo/ac/chr Label:Fair Trade Services Homepage
AC - INSPO & CHR FORMATS!
This Is The Day
Phil Wickham and Evan Wickham
Can you hear it The gentle voice of the Spirit There’s no reason to fear it He’s calling you to life
Just surrender Run into the arms of the Father The night is finally over Take a step into the light
This is the day when the lost are found This is the day for a new beginning Amazing grace how sweet the sound Oh can you hear all the angels are singing This is the day, the day when life begins
Can you see it A light shines into the darkness Bringing hope to the hopeless It’s leading you to life
This is the day When all your sins are washed away In the waves of His unending grace Forever you’re alive
The title track, now this song is a personal mountaintop accomplishment for me. You see, I’ve had the music and title for about seven years or so just waiting to be finished. The really hard part for me was to tell the story of Jesus’ last night on earth and what it might have felt like through His eyes. We can only speculate and imagine just how much pain He must have gone through to save us. Such a beautiful thing!
Beautiful Thing: I like to call this the album that almost didn’t happen. I wanted to record a new CD right on the heels of the previous one, Lost In Egypt (2009), but life took a quick and unexpected turn for me and my family.
In April 2010, I caught a virus that completely wiped out all of the hearing I had in my left ear overnight. I was now hearing with just one damaged ear. I could no longer hear in stereo.
Just as I was dealing with that situation, my father Julius was rushed to the hospital with stomach pain. We learned later that day that he had an inoperable mass on his pancreas, and I knew I had about nine months of life to spend with him.
A few weeks later, my sister Julie was also diagnosed with cancer. Our family spent every hour we could encouraging her as she went through several surgeries and chemotherapy.
In February, I was at my father’s side when he left this earth and entered into eternity. I was emotionally bankrupt and had no desire to write and record another Code project, but with the prompting of a friend, I powered up the studio and gave it a shot. Nothing!
I tried for days to write something that had some sense of life and melody to it but nothing came out. I was in a dark place and didn’t really care if I came out. I finally prayed a simple prayer: “God, we’ve had a good run making music together for over twenty years and I have no regrets. If you want me to make another Code record then you’ll have to send your spirit to inspire and write through me, and if not, well I’m fine with that too.”
In the next two hours that followed that prayer I wrote the song “Hey Death” which is about watching my father slip into eternity knowing death no longer has its sting.
Another song “Only The Beginning” followed later, again about the joy of leaving this earth and the promises of seeing heaven’s splendor.
The title track “Beautiful Thing” was the last song to be finished. I’ve had this arrangement in my song files for a long time, and I knew it needed to be the title of the CD. It was also the most difficult to pen lyrically which is why it was sitting in my song vault for so long. I wanted to paint a picture of the things Christ might have felt in his last hours leading up to His brutal death and just how ugly and yet ultimately beautiful it was that He was crucified for all of mankind.
To me this album is stylistically reminiscent of Arms Around the World (1995). There are acoustic elements mixed with electronic and industrial sounds.
Without a doubt this album has been a passionate labor of love for me, and I want to dedicate it to my loving earthly father who modeled Christ for me all his life, Julius Blaze.
