MIGHTY... debut album, Cornerstone, now being distributed by VP Records

AWARD-WINNING gospel singer, Jason Mighty, has inked a lucrative album distribution deal with VP Records, just two weeks after launching his highly-anticipated debut CD, Cornerstone, his management Daystar Promotions has revealed.

"We are very pleased to announce that VP Records has signed a world-wide distribution contract for Jason Mighty's Cornerstone. It was originally to be a contract for physical distribution, but they contacted us several days later and voiced their interest in having Cornerstone added to their exclusive digital distribution catalogue. Our representative at VP said he was really feeling the project. The whole negotiation was just a blessed and wonderful experience," Mighty's management team said in a release last week.

The album, which boasts 17 tracks, features collaborations with local gospel stars DJ Nicholas, Goddy Goddy, Promise and Prodigal Son. Fan favourites such as Can't Walk Alone, One Soul and Da Vinci Code are among the offerings on the CD.

"We are looking forward to a very fruitful partnership between VP and Daystar Promotions. We're extremely pleased that gospel reggae is widening its horizons in the musical marketplace. The genre has the potential to be tremendous, and we want to capitalise on that embryonic potential in the global market," explained Nicole Mighty of Daystar. "With such a high level of acceptance for Jason's ministry, even in a secular company, we can only aim higher from here. And we will."

Cornerstone is now available on www.vpreggae.com and will soon be available for digital download on iTunes and several other digital music providers.
