From a press release:

(Houston, TX– June 3, 2010) – Music World Entertainment announces a newly established gospel music label, Music World Gospel.

The label will succeed the company’s faith-based label, Spirit Rising, with the award-winning recording artists and special projects joining the new venture.

Music World Gospel’s roster of artists and compilation projects include Juanita Bynum, Trin-i-tee 5:7, Brian Courtney Wilson, Micah Stampley, Pastor Rudy Rasmus and The ESSENCE Gospel Project. A Spirit Rising compilation CD will retain its name and be released through Music World Gospel.

Music World recently signed world-renowned gospel recording artist Juanita Bynum to a joint venture recording agreement and management partnership. Music World Gospel/Son Flower Records will release Bynum’s new EP, The Diary of Juanita Bynum: Soul Cry (Oh, Oh, Oh) on June 22. The music trilogy is the first of a three-tier project that will culminate in the release of her highly anticipated CD/DVD, The Diary of Juanita Bynum II, scheduled for January 2011.

Music World is aiming to make its mark in the music industry in order to fend off its tough competition in the growing market of Gospel music. Thus, effective management tactics along with sound decisions and persuasive marketing techniques might be a desirable path for them to choose for the company’s betterment. Any corporate, to grow must have in place all the aforementioned attributes along with competent staff in place. The aspect of advancement is quite crucial and to achieve this purpose, agencies such as Qualtrics with their 360 degree feedback services could play an important role. Maybe, with the help of these services, the staff would be motivated to take the company further. As they say, team work makes the dream work!


That said, acclaimed gospel singer, songwriter, producer, minister and Stellar Award nominee Micah Stampley also recently joined Music World with a management and recording joint venture, and will release a new album through Music World Gospel/Interface. Stampley’s first CD hit the music charts as the second highest debut for a Male Gospel Artist in Billboard’s history at #3.

A rising star in contemporary gospel music, Brian Courtney Wilson is considered one of the top break-through artists of 2009. Wilson’s debut album, Just Love, entered the chart at #2 and after 51 weeks remains in the Top 10 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Albums Chart. The CD remained at #1 on CMTA’s Inspirational Chart for 14 consecutive weeks.

Of course, all the above-mentioned people are the creators of the main product of this industry, i.e., music, which makes them a key part of the company without whom, things could fall apart. Therefore, record labels should be prepared for any unfortunate accident that might befall any of these brilliant artists, and cause a major hindrance to the functioning of the company. For such situations, having a key man disability insurance, or any similar policy, could act as a nice safety net to fall back on till they get back on their feet.

Founded by President and C.E.O. Mathew Knowles, Music World Entertainment has a rich history of high profile successes within the music genre. Its gospel division was named by Billboard in the Top 10 Gospel Songs Labels of The Year (2009).
