New Artist Matt Papa Immediate Add To Air 1 Radio

(Nashville, Tenn.) July 24th, 2006 - The Spin 360 Record label has unveiled their first release, artist/worship leader Matt Papa, with immediate radio success. Matt's new single, "You Are Good," is an immediate add with Air 1, the nation's largest CHR network. His debut CD entitled You Are Good releases October 10th, with widespread exposure already underway.

The 22-year-old Gainesville, GA-native was signed to the Spin 360 label by industry veteran and Spin 360 President Stan Moser (whose signings have included artists ranging from Amy Grant to Al Green over his 36 year career), who is at the helm of this new venture of the already well-known Spin 360 ministry organization.

"I still remember hearing the British versions of CD's from Matt Redman and Delirious in the mid-90's. I knew God was launching a special expression of worship that would impact the church greatly, "said Moser. "When I heard Matt's CD, I had the same reaction. There is something very special about his songs. I truly believe Matt is making music the whole church will be singing in the days ahead."

Papa's music will be featured in various outlets throughout the next year. The debut single "You Are Good," already making a radio impact at AC and CHR is included on Atlantafest's 2006 Official Worship CD and on Maranatha! Music's The Invitation CD, part of the Invite A Million campaign. "Unto The One" is slated for use on the Fellowship of Christian Athletes music sampler. The song "Into Your Arms" is a feature song in new curriculum for the LifeWay's "Exchange" young adult ministry initiative. Two tracks have recently appeared on Spin 360's worship leader program, which goes out to over 2500 youth pastors and worship leaders nationwide.

Additional key marketing and sales elements for Papa's debut are in motion. On the tour front, Papa and band are being booked by Jeff Roberts & Associates. They're just off the road from a European tour run and will have an extensive nationwide tour schedule throughout the year. Papa's release, and subsequent Spin 360 label releases, will be sold via Word Distribution.

Spin 360, founded by worship leader and recording artist Joel Engle, is already recognized throughout the church as a provider of outstanding modern worship resources. For ten years, Spin 360 has endeavored to equip worship leaders and student ministries with accessible and usable versions of today's great worship songs along with valuable teaching tools to enhance worship ministry in the local church. The Spin 360 ministry's reach will extend even further with the launch of the new record label.
