Pretty cool, right?! In May, Tate Music Group is giving away an iPad to one lucky 'tweeter' (my favorite way of describing one who tweets). All you have to do is follow us on Twitter and retweet what we put on @TMGOfficial. Pretty simple, really. And for that, you get entered for a chance to win an iPad.
We'll be doing more of these giveaways because we want to continue to spread the word about Tate Music Group, our incredible artists, and the great things we can do together. But for now, just make sure and follow us on twitter - you can find out more information about this here.
Good luck...and peace to all my 'tweeties' (not my favorite...). - @allenf

tate music group...thoughts from our Artist of the Year
We got this message from Chuck Tocco, 2010 TMG Artist of the Year, and I wanted to share with you his thoughts.
Being Brought Before Great Men
I was thinking today about the scripture out of Proverbs 18:16 – A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men. I know God has blessed me with the gift of music, and I want to share this gift with the world. In doing so, I am not pursuing it for own personal gain, but for the advancement of the kingdom. I believe that God has brought me before great men, and for me that has been Tate Music Group. I knew that when I signed with Tate that I was making the right decision. I had prayed over this decision, and only being left with a feeling of peace. When signing the contract I read the “Mission Statement” and knew that they were Christ focused. This was the kind of people I wanted to partner with.
Tate as a company operates their business with an attitude of excellence. My experience all started with the director of acquisitions Brianne Webb who explained, directed, and gave me comfort about signing to the record label. I have worked side-by-side with my producer Jameson Reynolds, and watch him pour his heart and soul into my project. I saw the excellence of Janae Glass create a superb representation for the cover of my new release, “I Know That You Can Hear Me.” There are so many others who are working extremely hard to make this project a success. I can’t thank everyone enough for their dedication, and commitment.
During my visit to Oklahoma for the “Artist of the Year” contest I was able to get to know the staff, and their families on a more intimate level. I walked away from that experience feeling so excited about this new chapter in my life. Everyone I met was excited about their job, and their role in the company. There was no “I” in the vocabulary of anyone who I came into contact with. They all operated and functioned as a body, and they get things done with the highest level of excellence.
Many great artists are signing to the label, and having great success. If you feel God is leading you in this direction, pray about it, ask for God’s leading. Know that if you sign with Tate you’re not being scammed, but it’s an opportunity to make the vision God has placed in your heart become a reality.
Tate Music Group is quickly becoming recognized as one of the best record labels to partner with. Remember that the investment you are sowing into your ministry is small in comparison to the investment they are putting into you. They also, give you the opportunity to get that money back. Who does that? All you got to do is work hard, and be committed. Know that you are being brought before great men.

tate music group...new year, new music
It is the beginning of a new year and we are gearing up for the Tate Music Group Artist of the Year contest. It is an incredible event...which will end with 3 TMG artists/groups performing live in front of a panel of incredibly connected music industry professionals...and a lively studio audience. It's a great night of great music.
That got me thinking about some of the music that may or may not make it to the finals. We have so many great artists and I want to take a moment to share some of their work with you. These are some of our staff's favorites here at Tate Music Group.
'I Know You're There' by Jeff Chandler

'He's Alive' by Jupiter Wind

'Shackles' by The Cliftones

'The Son Won't Turn Around' by The Chasing
www.myspace.com/thechasingmusic
'Speakeasy' by Fat Dixie
www.myspace.com/fatdixie
'Sweet Lyric' by Jita
Also, here are some more artists to look out for in 2010!
Regie Hamm - 12 number one hits...including his most recent, 'Time of My Life', written for American Idol and David Cook.
Voices of Glory - these young talents broke onto the scene by making it to the Top 5 of America's Got Talent.
Of course, the full list is much more extensive. We work with such incredibly talented musicians and artists...many of which have yet to even enter the marketing phase. These are just a few of our favorites...and they have already seen some great things happening with their music. People are listening...and you should, too.

tate music group...artist of the year meeting
Our staff her at Tate Music Group had a great meeting today regarding our annual Artist of the Year contest. Last year's competition was incredible! We had such a good time...hanging out all week with our finalists...shooting videos...rehearsals...and much more. It was great to sit and talk about last year's event...and plan how we can make this year's even better.
In the coming weeks we will be finalizing the plans for the evening...as well as collecting the submissions from our artists for voting. It is great to see the incredible amount of talent that our artists have. Last year I was amazed not only at the top finalists...but also at those who didn't quite make it...because they were great, too!
We will be streaming the event live again this year. You can check out some videos of last year's performances here.
