Christopher Lewis is the Middle of a Real Crisis
Atlanta, GA – While Gospel recording artist Christopher Lewis is enjoying the release of his latest project, he’s also been busy with promotional stops, concert gigs and radio appearances. During a radio stop last week on Atlanta’s PRAISE 97.5, Lewis was invited to do a sit in interview with Hip-Hop’s own Cocoa Brotha. The show’s topic was, ‘Dealing with Crisis…How do we Cope?
  During the show, a woman called in with a very serious medical issue. The caller had recently given birth to a baby, however, recently found out that her doctors left much of the afterbirth inside her. X-rays also showed that something that looked like a utensil in her as well. As a result she was starting to hemorrhage and was becoming very sick. While sharing her story, she began to cry. She also said, she had already been to three hospitals, just the day before and was now sitting outside a fourth hospital, but was turned away because she had no medical insurance. 
  Christopher and Cocoa were now in shock, but immediately began to call on the Lord. Over the mic, Cocoa shouted, “I know there’s a doctor out there, so God we are calling on you to direct and correct this situation!”
  While Cocoa began making a plea over the airwaves, Christopher started singing a worship song God drop in his lap, while all of this was going on. Christopher called the song “Faithfulness.” As Cocoa continued to pray, the phone started to ring. When he answered, he found Dr. Catherine LaFay on the other end. She immediately shouted, “I will help her and I won’t charge her a dime.” Christopher and Cocoa, couldn’t stop praising the Lord.
  Another appeal was offered to listeners to sow into this family because they simply needed help. After everything was said and done, these two men of God raised between $10,000 - $12,000.
  “It was such a blessing to help someone who needed help and hear people do real ministry, as well as be a blessing to the glory of God,” says Christopher.
  In the end, these two men helped bring a calm to a CRISIS! What a blessing.

Multiple 2008 Dove Award Nominee And Urban Gospel Artist
Kyle Bynoe Returns With Riveting Urban Single "Favor"
 Kyle Bynoe has paid his dues in the music industry. With his production company, he's written for artists such as Tina Turner, Angie Stone and Mary J. Blige. He brought his talents to the gospel music side of the industry and penned hits for Rizen, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, and New Harvest, songs that netted Bynoe Dove Award Nominations, including three in 2008 alone: Traditional Gospel Recorded Song of the Year, Urban Recorded Song of the Year and Traditional Gospel Album of the Year. Bynoe took on the role of artist with his group Kyle Bynoe & Praise with a debut release in 2005. But now Bynoe returns as a solo artist with an urban inspirational single entitled "Favor" from his upcoming release The Kyle Bynoe Project.
  Not only is Bynoe stepping out as a soloist with an urban vibe and a message of hope, but he's using his music as a vehicle for outreach. "I just don't want to reach the church, but I want to reach the nations," says the singer. "Although this project is a praise and worship project, I want tap into those who don't normally listen to praise and worship. For me it's about reaching the lost."
  It's that desire to evangelize that had the consummate producer and Ossining, New York native record an Old School Mix and a Club Mix for "Favor", in addition to the urban and pop-flavored original. An up-tempo, catchy song about the overwhelming blessing of God, "Favor" is already hitting radio hard, and is heard on stations such as WPZE in Atlanta, WUFO in Buffalo, WNOO in Chattanooga, WNAP in Philadelphia and KTSU in Houston.
  A minister of the gospel and a musician since his youth, Bynoe has a long history in the music industry. Formerly signed to an 8-year publishing deal with EMI Music, he was an executive at Waymaker Records. With his production team, Jon Doe Muzic Group, he's written hits for artists such as Will Downing, Christopher Williams, EnVogue, The Winans and Howard Hewett.
  The Kyle Bynoe Project, a twelve-track CD, is a mixture of contemporary gospel, urban inspirational, Latin, pop and praise and worship. Produced by Bynoe, Vencott R. Palmer and Kevin Deane, the CD is scheduled for an August 2008 release.

Sprit Rising Music/Music World Entertainment Introduces Debut Inspirational Artist Brian Courtney Wilson
Spirit Rising Music/Music World Entertainment artist BRIAN COURTNEY WILSON will release his debut inspirational CD JUST LOVE in-stores on August 5. The Houston-based singer/songwriter's new disc contains 10-tracks, including the self-penned title track, "Just Love" and "All I Need." Both songs are available on iTunes and were released simultaneously to Gospel radio on May 27. A "Just Love" national promotional tour will be scheduled and include stops in Atlanta, Chicago, New York, Detroit, Houston, Charlotte, Philadelphia, Raleigh, Baltimore and Washington, DC. In June, Wilson opens for Trin-i-tee 5:7 on several Six Flags Parks dates including Magic Mountain in Valenica, CA (Saturday, June 21), Mitchellville, MD (Friday, June 27) and two shows at Alameda County Fair in Pleasanton, CA (Monday, June 30).

"'Just Love' is a special song," says Wilson. "This song is a love song to the first church to bring me on to serve in their music ministry [St. John's]. Every Sunday the Pastor opens service by inviting the congregation to say 'We love you and there's nothing you can do about it.' Then people would be invited to hug three people. Some people just got through spending the night on the front step of the church, so hugging them and their willingness to be hugged was no small thing. My prayer is that many different communities (faith-based or otherwise) hear the song and connect the love described in the lyrics to their own experiences. 'Just Love' is also featured on ESSENCE MUSIC FESTIVAL VOLUME 1: Songs From Our Triumphant Return to New Orleans as a bonus track."
