I had been producing Gospel at my label, I AM Records on the side and had amassed enough Gospel masters that when Steve Jobs at Apple couldn’t get the Majors to load their gospel into his new iTunes Store, my phone rang. Luck= Opportunity met Preparation. I was always a geek and loved learning about the new Digital Paradigm and I’m still the only African American Aggregator that has direct deals with all the online digital stores for the last 15 years.
