If you are AS excited about making history and a huge positive influence in the world around you as you are about earning a GREAT profit, Out East Records, a multi-genre commercially viable record label, may be the perfect fit for you.
Hi, I’m April. :) Entrepreneur. Nurse & single mom, who also happens to be a singer/songwriter/recording artist/producer/and record label CEO and visionary. As a writer & publisher, I’d had songs on hold for artists such as Blake Shelton, Trace Adkins & Ashton Shepherd. As an artist I’ve performed on numerous tv & radio shows and currently have a single “What I’d Say” (by April) out to small market country radio and internationally. Last week it ranked #8 on the Hotdisc Top 40 in the U.K.
Using internet and social media as well as well calculated promotional opportunities and live performances, I have grown an outstanding fanbase, score a plethora of support within the industry, as well as support various charities & and our troops!
I’ve chosen not to seek a record deal, but to BE the record deal. History proves the greatest artists of all time have been rare individuals who didn’t go with the flow, true artists who were willing to take a risk. A label’s most difficult task is finding an artist unlike the others, who stands out. I AM that artist. I have ideas no one has yet to do in the industry – EVER! Yet, at the same time I have the reliable support from the Christian community (think Tim Tebow or Duck Dynasty). My vision is clear, and the support is in place.
A team of seasoned professionals with years of commercial music industry success are in place to facilitate a historical launch of a 5 genre compilation record. Written and performed by April, it will contain 5 EP’s containing 7 songs each. 1- Country, Pop, Folk/Singer/Songwriter, Christian, & Gospel. Country, Pop & Folk singles will be released simultaneously and promoted (historical). Christian music offered as an artistic expression & not promoted.
In high school I heard someone say I’d probably never amount to much b/c I was from “out east,” (poorer side of Prentiss County, MS), so I named my record label after it. :) It’s not where you’re from, it’s where you go. Go with me!
If you’re interesting in making history as well as a phenomenal profit, this is the company for you. Personally, I have a Master’s degree in nursing and literally hold multiple lives in my hands everyday as people entrust me with their lives during various surgical procedures as an Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist. I have full capabilty – not only the intelligence – but the intuition and the keen artistic vision it takes to bring to life the distinct historical vision of Out East Records. Through recording (& in my case performing), distributing, and promoting the highest quality commercially viable music, Out East Records (OER) has the ability literally to touch the world. And not only that, our highest priority is to do so with integrity and the full intent of leaving that world better than we found it. We will continue to touch lives through various ministry resources and outreaches, as well as funding various charitable organizations. We. Love. People.
As a writer, performer, and recording artist, I have received attention from every level in Music City, USA. However, as a visionary, I have specific accomplishments I wish to achieve for a purpose far greater than “being on radio.” Though my heart’s desire is not to be just another number signed to a “big machine” record label (pun intended), do not think I shall not use these relationships to our advantage!
Thankfully, my experience in Music City has secured a team of well-established and highly experienced successful professionals who will serve a vital role in performing functions of OER. Some have played key roles in other successful companies such as Sony, Curb, and Big Machine Records (Scott Borshetta; Taylor Swift). Once funding is secured, I have a team in place ready to create hit music and blaze a trail of philanthropy like the world has never seen!
