The hip-hop group Rhema Soul has released their first music video from their critically-acclaimed album, RED (Universal Christian Music Group/220 Entertainment Group/Good City Music). The song entitled “Break Out” was written by the three members of Rhema Soul and the video was directed by Wilbert J. Thomas of Space Cherry Films. Thomas’ work has been featured on BET, JCTV, and WAY-TV, among many others. He was nominated as Best Emerging Director at the Jacksonville (FL) Film Festival and won Music Video of the Year from Rapzilla’s Best of 2011 Awards.
Rhema Soul says “Break Out” explores the idea of embracing true freedom. “As people, we too often allow ourselves to be bound by fear and uncertainty,” says K-Nuff. “We look at the mistakes of our past and think we are destined to fall into the same patterns. The truth is we no longer have to be bound by anything. We can say goodbye to yesterday and, through faith, grab a hold of what's to come with courage and strength.”
“With the video,” says juanlove, “we just wanted to strip everything down so the words and the emotion behind them took center stage.” “The song as a whole,” concludes Butta P,“ signals somewhat of a new direction for us. We love the energy and the organic feel of it.”
Rhema Soul is also filming a new reality television pilot for JCTV, showing the making of their next music video from RED entitled "Off the Edge." JCTV is a Christian youth network designed for 13-30 age groups. JCTV currently airs in over 800 cities in the U.S. as well as streaming online at www.jctv.org.
RED was produced by Andy Anderson whose credits include projects from TobyMac and Group One Crew. The first radio single entitled “No Walking Away” was featured on Focus on the Family’s Plugged In podcast on March 29.
Together now for over six years, Rhema Soul is based out of South Florida. The trio of two men and one woman recorded their first project in 2007 entitled Worn Soles, featuring the successful radio single “All You Are” with Hillsong United. Their follow-up project the next year, Dope Beats, Good News, included the innovative song “Steez” which was nominated as a favorite video by the Gospel Music Channel. And 2010’s, Fingerprints , offered up more personal songs from the group, including the provocative song “Fly Away.” The group opened up painful moments in their individual lives in an emotional music video of the tune, where K-Nuff describes his parent’s difficult marriage; juanlove makes a statement about teenage sex; and Butta reveals the sexual abuse she suffered as a child.
The trio all came from youth and worship leader backgrounds, as well as strong ties to missionary work. They traveled with the organization One Hope (Onehope.net) for nearly two years, ministering to needy children in South Africa, Russia, Eastern Europe, and the United Kingdom. Rhema Soul has also been involved with Hope in Motion, founded by KJ52’s drummer Pedro LaTorre. The Hope In Motion team visits public and private schools with a dynamic presentation of music and dance, opening doors to help counsel students who are suicidal, depressed, or have been bullied.

Owl City Debuts New Music Video for “Alligator Sky” From Jun. 14 Release
All Things Bright and Beautiful
“Galaxies” Debuts Well at CHR Radio
Nashville, Tenn. May 6, 2011…. Nearly one month from the release of his highly anticipated new album All Things Bright and Beautiful, Owl City is releasing the new galactic mission themed music video for “Alligator Sky.” The music video is debuting on Owl City’s website today, www.owlcitymusic.com.
“Alligator Sky,” features Los Angeles rapper Shawn Chrystopher. “’Alligator’ and ‘sky’ are two words that don’t really go together, but conjure up an image, which fits the idea of the song,” and as Adam Young explains, is not your everyday song title. “It’s about how there are so many weird things coming at you every day. Why not just meet them head on and take charge even though you have no say over what’s going to happen? You and those around you are what matter most.”
All Things Bright And Beautiful will release on June 14, and is the follow-up full-length studio album to Owl City’s platinum-selling debut Ocean Eyes. Released in July 2009, Ocean Eyes was certified platinum in just eight short months and earned Owl City a slew of critical acclaim (New York Times, Rolling Stone, People, Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, etc.). Ocean Eyes’ sales were led by the runaway single “Fireflies” which is currently quadruple platinum in the US. “Fireflies” hit #1 on the Hot 100 twice and found its’ way to the #1 spot in 24 countries around the world.
“Galaxies” debuted in the top 30 at CHR with major players such as Air-1 Network, WONU/Chicago and KXWA/Denver playing the single.
“’Galaxies’ is a first person perspective of the flight commander of the space shuttle Challenger that tragically exploded in 1986,” explains Young. “It was inspired by the idea of a person leaving this life and passing into eternity. It’s a bold statement to Jesus Christ proclaiming that I will personally follow him to whatever end. The song is a vivid portrayal to the idea that amidst such tragedy, victory can in fact be achieved through Christ and Him alone.” To hear more about “Galaxies” from Young, visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cMaCgmBt4mk.
In support of the new album – All Things Bright And Beautiful – Owl City will be kicking off a headlining tour of the World in North America on June 13th at the historic Ryman Auditorium – confirmed dates below. For the most up-to-date information, please visit www.owlcitymusic.com.

Aaron Gillespie is launching his debut single’s music video, “We Were Made For You,” produced by Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse, today exclusively at GodTube.com. Click here to view the video.
Last month musician Aaron Gillespie traveled to Haiti with Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Samaritan’s Purse to see first-hand the work of the organizations, as well as to tape a documentary that will debut this summer. Gillespie hopes that this music video and the upcoming documentary will bring back an awareness to Haiti since the 2010 earthquake as well as the work of BGEA and Samaritan’s Purse.
“God's heart is humanity, and you really find it in Haiti. We are so convinced that we have it all figured out here, with our prosperity and all of our stuff, but we don't. Gods heart is waiting, go find it,” shares Aaron Gillespie upon returning from his trip.
The Billy Graham Rapid Response Team and Samaritan’s Purse deployed within 24 hours of the tragic earthquake and has maintained a strong presence in the country since. The two groups are meeting the physical, emotional and spiritual needs of the families that have been affected by the earthquake. Samaritan’s Purse has provided shelter for more than 10,000 families and over 50,000 Haitians.
Gillespie and his wife, Jamie, visited various areas and worked with these organizations to learn more about the country and the current situation. Areas that Gillespie visited include the small villages of Titanyen and Simonette, Jesus’ Name orphanage as well as the Samaritan’s Purse Cite Soleil Cholera Treatment Center.
While visiting the Jesus’ Name orphanage, the director Jean Louis Esaie and the children personally touched Gillespie and his wife. While they were visiting, they saw the urgent need for a new latrine at the orphanage. The funds raised will go to this and other immediate needs at Jesus' Name. A portion of the music video includes Aaron playing with the kids from Jesus' Name. Also launching today is a micro-site, which includes a trailer for the documentary, exclusive photos from Aaron’s visit to Haiti, plus links to how you can join Aaron in helping the people of Haiti. You can visit www.ransom.tv/AaronG
For more information on Aaron Gillespie, follow him on Twitter @AaronRGillespie as well as on his Facebook http://www.facebook.com/AaronRGillespie. His solo debut, Anthem Song, is available now in stores and digital outlets. He is also touring nationwide - check his website for dates near you. http://www.aarongillespie.com

(Nashville, TN - Nov. 10, 2009) - Even though Curb Records' MIKESCHAIR is thrilled to officially release their first-ever music video, "Let The Waters Rise," they are glad the video shoot is over. For those of us who spend time watching music videos instead of creating them, we don't have any idea of the effort it takes to actually make one. Here's MIKESCHAIR's story.
Their unique video was shot on the Pacific Ocean coast among the beautiful scenery of Cape Kiwanda located in Pacific City, Oregon. With the coast and sand dunes as their backdrop, MIKESCHAIR - Mike Grayson, Sam Tinnesz, Jesse Hale and Jon Haire - immensely enjoyed their first video experience. Although, during the one-day shoot the filming became more than expected due to the intensity of the blaring sun, long treks up and down the vertical sand dunes, as well as the sandstone cliffs birthing gusty winds of sand. The guys laugh about it now, even more so as they continue to find sand creviced in their clothes and bags, and the video was filmed a few weeks ago!
There is no question that filming on the coast, with the dunes, a gorge, and the amazing sunset as the backdrop made the whole shoot worthwhile. The beach town of Pacific City has been known for over a hundred years as a quaint fishing village and vacation destination, a unique geographical and geological area located between Tillamook and Lincoln City, found on the south end of beautiful "3 Capes Scenic Drive." Click here to view the finished version of this scenic video: http://www.hearitfirst.com/mikeschair .
"The Oregon coast has some of the most breathtaking scenery and definitely displays some of God's most beautiful creations," commented MIKESCHAIR guitarist Sam Tinnesz. "We had a great time making the video...especially climbing up and down mountains to get to different locations you see in the video."
Lead vocalist, Mike Grayson agreed stating, "The location where we shot the video was so overwhelmingly beautiful that it was impossible not to see God's hands everywhere. After seeing the finished video it is clear that God definitely stole the show!"
The video was helmed by Eric Welch, founder and director for Broken Poet Productions. Welch has also directed videos for Brandon Heath, MercyMe, Jars of Clay, Toby Mac, and many more. Aristo Media is set to head up the video's distribution.
"Let The Waters Rise" is quickly climbing the CHR, Christian (Overall), AC Monitored and AC Indicator charts, proving to be a powerful record touching both programmers and their listeners. This is the group's second single off their self-titled debut project, released on Curb Records July 14th.
On the touring front, MIKESCHAIR continues on the road with Lecrae, After Edmund, as well as with Sho Baraka for "The Altered Minds Tour," a unique showcase displaying a variety of music from rock, pop and rap. The tour, which started in Harrington, DE in October and will conclude in Denton, TX the weekend before Thanksgiving, was put together to represent the unity within the body of Christ. MIKESCHAIR is also set to appear on the Winter Jam Tour next year. For more more information and the latest tour dates, please visit www.MIKESCHAIR.com.

SEATTLE, WA...September 17, 2009...Today the pop rock foursome, Hawk Nelson, premieres their debut single music video from forthcoming album LIVE LIFE LOUD on MySpace.com. The video is currently playing via a link on the homepage under the music tab of the social networking founder (http://www.myspace.com/). Hawk Nelson will release LIVE LIFE LOUD on this Tuesday, September 22nd on BEC Recordings / Tooth & Nail Records.

Vineyard / Varietal Records band 1000 Generations prepared for the August 4 release of their first nationally distributed album, Turn Off the Lesser Lights, by wrapping up production on the video of their debut single, "Fail Us Not."
Directed by Knitted Heart Production's Ben Eisner (Relient K, Israel Houghton, DecembeRadio), the footage was shot on the banks of the picturesque canal that flows through downtown Indianapolis, the band's hometown.
1000 Generations' Steven Potaczek comments, "We were absolutely committed to a unique video concept that testifies to the unmerited and unfailing love of God expressed in every circumstance of life." As the band performs the song, the camera pans to on-lookers who each have their own story of finding peace in the midst of a seemingly hopeless situation. Underneath each person's face appears their first name, along with the issue - big or small - that God is helping them through. Some of the issues include divorce, unemployment, abuse, and uncertainty about the future.
At the end of the video, viewers will be invited to log onto www.failusnot.com and post their own "one-minute movie" on a YouTube channel designed to create an online community that will serve as a testament to God's faithfulness during difficult circumstances.
The "Fail Us Not" world video premiere is scheduled for September 15, 2009 exclusively on HearItFirst.com along with its syndicated channels on Tangle, YouTube, and Myspace.
In addition, the single has just entered the Top 30 of the national R&R AC Indicator charts and the group is in the process of scheduling new release concerts in the mid-west region.
For additional information about these dates or the band, visit www.1000generations.com

Pop punk band eleventyseven is set to release its debut music video “MySpace” to video outlets nationwide on June 1st.
The video includes a massive improvised food fight shot with students at Glendale High School in Tulsa, Okla. Filmed by Steelehouse Productions, the “MySpace” video storyline mimics its lyrical message about embracing individualism and being honest about who you really are: "When was the last time you were honest / Instead of posting blogs of fake emotions / When you finally resurface to the point of finding purpose / We’ll begin to see just who you are" Frontman Matt Langston elaborates, “Hopefully it just gets kids thinking about the fact that there is more to life than conforming to a profile you create to feel accepted. You can’t live life only showing people what you want them to see."
As for the food fight, it was shot over two days and involved more than 100 students armed with cafeteria not-so-favorites. Director Sam Stanton comments on the video’s technical challenges, “Filming a food fight isn’t what was tough, it was convincing everyone who had to clean up that it was a good idea to do it.”
To view the “MySpace” video, go online to: YouTube or Google.
eleventyseven’s first single, “More Than a Revolution,” has been a specialty radio favorite, and the group was featured this spring on Columbia Records artist Superchick’s national tour. The band’s national debut, And the Land of Fake Believe, released to retail outlets May 16.
