About Me

Atlanta, Georgia based PowerSource Entertainment, Inc. was founded in late 2001 when renowned entertainment lawyer, Tanya Mitchell Graham, teamed up with professional business consultant, P. Joi Jones, to form the label. Headed by Ms. Graham, who has represented many independent record labels, producers, artists, managers and promoters since 1992, the mission of PowerSource is to present music fans with artists that have what the music industry has been looking for over the past few years - hit songs! Period.Not satisfied with the complicity of many records labels and the handling of their artists, Ms. Graham and Ms. Jones wanted to form a truly independent record label dedicated to the premise that talented artists, good music, and approachable executives can work together, not against each other, and still make a profit. Both Ms. Graham and Ms. Jones wanted to give a voice and opportunity for its artists who wanted to break out of the creative stranglehold of the music industry. PowerSource is fortunate to be the home of artists who understand their unique talents, their complete responsibilities, and the role that they must play with their record label to promote their music - all while always continuing to perfect their craft. These artists recognize the opportunity that PowerSource has afforded them in expressing themselves and learning and working within the Entertainment Industries.PowerSource has also signed an imminent super producer, The ILL Genius, whose music will be heavily featured on its artists albums. The ILL Genius has also started doing independent production for artists signed to major record labels. PowerSource also has another staff producer, E-Hustle, who can provide his crunk-screwed muzak with Dirty South flavor on any track, as well as create R&B, Pop and Hip-Hop tracks for both PowerSource artists as well as artists signed to other labels.The first artist to sign directly with PowerSource is the new, connoisseur of young, musical romance and 3-time ShowTime at the Apollo winner, Jay-El, whose 2003 debut album Be About Yours, enjoyed significant independent success and continues to sell to this day. His sophomore effort, Get Closer, will hit stores and the Internet hard in 2006. Jay-Els has had numerous accomplishments as an independent artist, and has performed with some of the music industrys giants.PowerSource is also busy recording the debut album for its second artist, rapper Kalako, who is certain to make noise in the music industry. Kalakos unique style and versatility shows everything from a smooth, club flow that will make everyone dance, to the gritty rhymes that impress hard-core hip-hop heads, to the Southern slang taking over the World, to the prolific flow known primarily to rappers from the East Coast. Kalakos debut album hits the stores, the Internet, and the streets in 2006.PowerSource also home to a third artist, Ricko, whose distinct sound is certain to make him an icon in Southern Rap, which is a sound that currently resonates across the United States. 2006 will be the year that all three of PowerSources artists are introduced to the World on a large stage, and each of them is ready to play his part to the fullest.In addition to CEO, Tanya Mitchell Graham, and COO, P. Joi Jones, PowerSources team of executive professionals includes Senior Vice President, Rick Scott, who leads the promotions department for the company. Mr. Scott has several years of experience that extends from the early 1980s in promoting concerts and tours not only in the United States, but also in Europe and Japan. Mr. Scott also has years of experience in radio promotions, marketing, and advertising.PowerSource shall remain a small record label so that it can focus on its un-relentless desire to succeed with each of its artists, and pay attention to details. PowerSources commitment to its artists is to make intelligent, decisive moves within the music industry to give both the Industry and music lovers alike a taste of what the future of music will be in the not so distant future. Fasten your seatbeltsthe Source of the Power will soon be self-evident!
