Verity Records

What was that road for you to finally not be viewed as an artist of one genre alone?

Well, a lot of it, the majority of that fight came from, and not throwing them under the bus, but Verity Records at the time stifled me considerably.

Oh.

Wow.

... that's who I was signed to.

Okay.

And Verity handled the- the radio and marketing for CCM and-

Mm-hmm

Uh, Paul Wright, I'd followed in his footsteps.

He had worked at Verity Records, uh, Sony, um, the gospel division of Sony, as well as Benson, and I'd worked...

And, uh, Paul was a producer and, um, very, very talented guy.

And we had a pre-tel.

She later recorded with several gospel artists, but an important career moment came when she sang Angels with Richard Smallwood and Vision.

That performance helped start her solo career with Verity Records.

Her debut project, How I Feel, helped earn her the 2000 Stellar Award for Best New Artist.

She later received another stellar nomination for the album The Dream, which was named Praise and Worship CD of the Year in 2009.
