“We are thrilled to see two of our acts win top prizes in the Our Stage video competition,” said Kathy Douglas, CEO for Indie Extreme. “It’s especially meaningful because the winners were chosen by music fans around the world. Both The Access and The Sonflowerz have made significant career strides since their GMA showcases last April.”
The Access is managed by Mark Silvestri, founder of the Houston record label R.A.W. Music Group. The group, which formed in Mont Belvieu, Texas, in 2006, is working on their debut album with Houston producer MD Thompson of Ivory Tower Realizations. Members of The Access are lead vocalist/guitarist/keyboardist Justin Michaels, bassist/back-up vocalist Terry Cardwell, guitarist Nick Daniel, guitarist/back-up vocalist Winter, and drummer/back-up vocalist Kyle Mason Hall. The band, which describes its sound as a modern form of praise and worship, is using its music to “wake up a sleeping church and to bring the life, only Christ can offer, to a generation of dry bones.”
The Sonflowerz, sisters Elissa and Becca Leander of Colorado Springs, Colo., have gained international recognition with the release of their latest CD, All Over The World. Produced by music legend Don Koch, the album features a dozen new songs penned by Elissa with other writers such as Koch and Brian White. The single, Edge Of My Seat, reached number one on the CRW Indie chart the week it was released. Another single from the album, My Adoration, recently climbed to number two on the Radio & Records Soft AC/Inspirational chart. The act is booked by the Covenant Artist Agency.
