Stellar
Award Winner Phillip Carter Tapped As First Gospel Artist With An Exclusive
Music Release In The Public Library System
New CD, Songs of Phillip Carter, Available On Wednesday, May 13, 2015
(Washington,
DC) – May 13, 2015 – Many know Gospel artist Phillip Carter as the leader of
Stellar Award-winning ensemble, Phillip Carter & SOV. Others recognize him as the owner of the
Gospel record label, SOV, Inc., and still others are familiar with him as the co-visionary
of the annual Independent Gospel Artists Alliance Conference held each July in
Chesapeake, VA. Now Carter will also be
known as the first Gospel artist to have his music exclusively available in the
public library system through Altavoz Entertainment.
Altavoz is making the artist’s Songs of Phillip Carter the first exclusive
library release of a musical recording via the Public Library system. Instead of getting it first online or at a store, fans of Carter’s music can visit
their local library to hear this new music from the world renowned Gospel
artist, musician, and producer. Songs of Phillip Carter will be
available digitally on Wednesday, May 13, 2015 with the full CD dropping later
this fall.
According to Nelson Jacobsen, CEO of
Altavoz Entertainment, “This is really taking Keith Richard’s ‘the public
library is the great equalizer’ idea and going the next step by rewarding the
library with exclusive content, and the library users and music fans with the
chance to hear new music for free.”
Carter is excited about the partnership
as well. He says, "This is the first
release of its kind and a ‘win, win’ for the Gospel Community as people are
looking for new ways to expose people to Gospel Music. I, along with my company, SOV, Inc., are
ecstatic and grateful about the opportunity to be exclusively released in the
library system".
This Altavoz Entertainment release from SOV, Inc.’s The Songs of Phillip Carter will be digitally available via Hoopla Digital and physically available from Midwest Tape.
Since this is the first of its kind project, Altavoz has teamed up with
new crowdfunding and micropayment solution provider, JETCO Research, to enable the DO U LUV it tiny
campaign on its website. To raise awareness on social media, use the
hashtag, #exclibrary, on Facebook, Google+, Pinterest, and Twitter.
