SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 23, 1999--Filtered Souls Entertainment Inc. (OTC BB:FSOL) announces that its joint venture partner, Skyline Records Inc., has acquired highly sought-after music consultant Shanon Thames to head up its operating division as Senior Vice President, Operations.
The joint venture between Filtered Souls and Skyline Records has also appointed Shanon Thames as Project Manager for the joint venture's Filtered Souls multiple artist project.
Los Angeles-born Thames entered the field with legendary Berry Gordy music publishing firm, Jobette Music, an integral part of the Motown umbrella. While at Jobette, Thames developed a talent for finding new and original writers. Utilizing the skills learned in his early years, he started Flawless Entertainment, working with a raft of recording artists, including then-superstar M.C. Hammer, plus TV stars Robert Townsend, Jamie Fox and D.L. Hughley. In addition to his finely tuned ears, he also developed meticulous administrative skills during his Flawless tenure. Filtered Souls and Skyline report that they have retained entertainment PR firm Norman Winter and Associates of Los Angeles to handle publicity for the joint venture and all of its artists. Norman Winter's firm has consulted for such well-known artists in the past as Michael Jackson, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Neil Diamond, Barry White, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Priority Records (Bone Thugs-and-Harmony) and the largest concert in the world, The Victory Tour. Skyline also reports that it is in the final negotiation stages with one of the "Big 6" record distribution companies for a multi-act worldwide distribution deal. One of the Filtered Souls artist duos, Secret Service, is in the Paramount recording studios in Los Angeles completing the final recording and mixing of their upcoming debut album. This album will be the first product to be distributed on a national basis through the forthcoming "Big 6" distribution deal. The national distribution contract and the release date for the Secret Service album are anticipated to be announced imminently. The company has approved the granting of incentive stock options to the benefit of directors and employees, consisting of options to purchase 300,000 shares of its capital stock for a three-year period at $2.50 per share.
