RichEscape Music is an independent record label, production, and publishing company dedicated to developing, producing, presenting and promoting newly emerging talent and recording artists. Our primarily music focus is in the Gospel, Gospel-Jazz, Inspirational, and Praise and Worship genres.
RichEscape is no stranger to the Gospel or Jazz arena. We have been an integral part in helping develop and launch the careers and subsequent recording projects of many celebrated artists, including, Maurette Brown Clark, Vanessa R. Williams, Jeremiah Murphy, John Stoddart, Kim Jordan, Nolan Williams, Debbie Steele, and Phil French. As a formal record label, RichEscape recently celebrated the successful debut release of the inspirational jazz project, Ascension, by their first signed artist, R&R, featuring Howard E. Riley, Jr. and Terrence Richburg.
RichEscape is a growing company with a powerful mission. We are committed to reintroducing the concept and focus on developing, investing in, and presenting our artists in musical and spiritual excellence. We are committed to presenting their ministries in a setting of expanding success, as opposed to focusing only on bringing financial success to the company itself. The general plan for revenues generated by artist product sales and royalties is to invest and reinvest capital into developing and supporting the career ministries and goals of both current and future artists of RichEscape who have a true commitment and sincere attitude toward success and bringing glory to God.
We find this approach to be a lost principle in the industry today. The growth of many companies is due to the success of their artists. Artists who, more often than not, achieve very little financial success for themselves even as basic support during and after their careers as recording artists end. We know this approach is a risk on our part and realize the potential that any artists we sign and develop may eventually move on to partner with major labels. Ultimately, however, we hope that our commitment and contribution to our artists will help to motivate other promising talent to grace our doors for a chance to move forward in their careers and ministries. RichEscape will remain committed to growing this artist-focused approach to a ..major level...
RichEscape is now at an exciting juncture in ministry as we move forward with our second major release featuring our newest signed artist, Minister Terrell Hunt on his debut Praise and Worship project entitled, Awesome, which released in the Spring of 2007. In 2009, our new release plans include a long awaited solo piano and 7-string bass double-cd project entitled My All from RichEscape..s President and CEO, Terrence Richburg; the sophomore R&R project, Completion; and an R&R Christmas cd composed of several new and traditional song arrangements.
RichEscape has several artists being considered for future production projects and cd releases. We are also in the process of expanding and developing a first-rate production team and cooperative network of area producers, songwriters, studio facilities, musicians, and singers to help bring to fruition the mission of RichEscape..s dream for area artists.
RichEscape..s goal is to keep this process moving, growing, and successful until the Lord returns to usher us all out of time and into an eternity of praise and glory.
