Stellar Award Winner TROY Sneed And Son TJ Launch T Records

One of gospel music’s most popular artists and entrepreneurs, Troy Sneed (Billboard Magazine named him one of the Top 3 Gospel Producers in 2006), is breaking new ground in 2008. Sneed’s Emtro Gospel label has enjoyed a dozen chart singles since it opened in 2003 and its “The Struggle is Over” even spent 12 weeks at #1 on the Billboard hot Gospel Songs chart. Now, Sneed’s son, Troy “TJ” Sneed Jr., is following his parents (mom, Emily is Vice-President of Emtro Gospel) into the music business.

The straight A Florida State University civil engineering student will head-up his dad’s new T Records label with distribution via IDN (Innovative Distribution Network) and the Alliance Entertainment Corporation. “I am so proud of my son,” says Sneed. “He is a straight student and when he graduates next year, he will continue on to Graduate School. Expect our first new releases for T Records in the first quarter of 2008. This new label is a dream come true for me. I want us to introduce some great new artists and also relaunch the careers of some wounded ducks. I want to leave a legacy and an inheritance for all of my kids and grandkids and all of their offspring.”

Artists wanting to submit demos or projects, can contact Emtro at P.O. Box 8511 Fleming Island FL 32006. Phone: (904) 269-2569.

The Jacksonville, Florida-based Emtro Gospel label boasts hit-making artists such as Sneed, Alvin Darling & Celebration, L. Spenser Smith, Pastor Rudolph McKissick, Youth for Christ, Bishop Bruce Parham and the Wilmington-Chester Mass Choir. Emtro’s next big project will be “Work it Out” by Troy Sneed & the Bona-Fide Praisers. The follow-up to Youth for Christ’s “The Struggle is Over” will impact radio in the 4th quarter of 2007 and their new CD “Destined to Worship” will release in 1st quarter 2008.
