Nothing makes me happier than seeing progress like this:
After last year’s less than productive distribution venture with Interscope Records, Devin White has once again secured a major label distribution agreement, this time with Universal’s “Republic” Records. The agreement offers Devin the ability to digitally release one full album project under the label’s title, and still maintain complete creative control and direction. “This is a big step for me. Once again I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to release independent work under one of the majors. The biggest difference for me this time around is honestly reaching out to those I know that are enjoying what I do and asking for their complete support.” [White]. Devin’s brand new album, “New Nation” features completely new music that is a mild step in another direction from his last independent effort, “iCRed”. “I loved the music I created for the last record [iCRed] but honestly was not able to give it the life it deserved because I was not as adamant about requesting support for the project. The sales on Itunes under Interscope just were not enough to impress the label. I know people really enjoyed it, but purchasing a record does so much more for an artist than most would believe…especially as a independent.” [White]. Along with the exciting label venture, Devin is also preparing his transition out of the DMV in August. “It gets to a point where you realize artistically there’s so much ground to cover, and in order to play ball correctly…you gotta play with the big boys. I’ll be leaving the district in August but will remember all the support and encouragement I received along the way.” [White]. Devin will reveal more info regarding his New Album “New Nation” and the first single via his New Twitter account, @DevinLWhite and his website, Devinwhitenow.com
