Malaco Music Group Signs Kevin Vasser

Jackson, MS (November 9, 2012) - Malaco Music Group is proud to announce its latest signing of Kevin Vasser, the Director of Worship and Arts at Fellowship Missionary Baptist Church in Chicago (Pastor Charles Jenkins, Pastor) to an exclusive recording agreement.

Expect a full project (Untitled) from Kevin Vasser in 2013. The lead single “Only You Can Deliver” featuring DeWayne Woods will be impacting radio soon. D.A. Johnson, Executive Director – Gospel Division, Malaco Music Group states,” From the very moment I heard Kevin’s voice singing “Only You Can Deliver,” I knew that this was a special song and it would touch the hearts of millions.”

Kevin started his singing career with the singing group Youth Edition, which was comprised of his eldest brother and two cousins. Youth Edition’s introduction to the music industry was catapulted by the hit song “Anything Is Possible” written and produced by the amazing song writer/producer Percy Bady. The group won the WGCI Radio station competition singing gospel music going up against R&B and hip hop acts. During that time Elroy Smith, was the Operations Manager of WGCI FM/AM-Chicago, now Operations Manager of WRNB/WPPZ Philadelphia and Inspiration Format Director for Radio One, and was a major reason the song had the success that it did. From there Kevin was lead to start a solo career. “It is truly an honor to be a part of the Malaco Music Family” said Kevin. “I don’t take lightly the rich tradition of the label and I look forward to a long and successful relationship with Malaco”.

With this project produced by Kevin Vasser and his Music Director Phil Feaster, of the Fred Hammond production team, it has all the ingredients to be his career defining hit but more importantly it has the music to encourage the nations.
