Testimonials:
"Wood & Bone is a new label created to release recordings by singer/songwriter Brooke Fraser. The label partnered with CLG for distribution to Christian music retailers, because we liked the personal attention, expertise and guidance given to us by the president of CLG, Dave Coleman." - Jeremy Hammond, Wood & Bone Records
"CLG has been instrumental in helping me get my product to retail, both online and in stores. The service has been fast and the staff friendly. Dave Coleman has spent hours on the phone with me sharing valuable information with a 'Christ Like Generosity'. CLG and JesusWired.com are the future of the gospel music industry as they continue to develop integrated methods for educating the independent community and providing unique marketing and sales solutions." - Alton Lang, C-Stone Entertainment

Chrematizo Label Group is the company name for a Christian record label group including: Voluminous Records (Hardcore, Screamo, Emo, etc.), Jacob's Well Records (CCM, Rock, Pop, Worship, etc.), and Trendency Records (Gospel, R&B, Hip-Hop, etc.).Through CLG's Independent Distribution Division ( CLG Distribution ), independent Christian labels and artists can obtain access to national distribution for their product. With some of the most significant customers from both the Christian and secular worlds, our distributed products are available for sale to thousands of brick-and-mortar accounts worldwide and all the major online retailers (BestBuy.com, CircuitCity.com, BarnesAndNoble.com, Amazon.com, etc.).
We're getting word out on our new service - JesusWired.com is an extension of Chrematizo Label Group / CLG Distribution and intended to be a Christian equivalent to CD Baby. The site is the foundation for the first level of a multi-tiered distribution program we have developed for 2009. Even at this most basic level, each product carried on JesusWired.com will be available for sale not only on the site, but digitally in over 300 brick & mortar (physical) Christian retail stores around the country as well. In-store kiosks allow shoppers to browse music and rip an MP3 file to their MP3 player, burn to CD and even print the artwork on the spot. And, like CDBaby, we offer opt-in digital distribution (iTunes, Rhapsody, Napster, eMusic, etc.). However, unlike CD Baby and other digital content aggregators, we actually PROMOTE your title to the digital sites rather than simply feed them your content. You're product is not "just another title being run through the system" but, rather, a unique work of art that deserves attention based on it's own merit. The net result has led to some very nice exposure for artists on front pages, in genre sections, free track of the day, etc. We achieved front page placement on a title for the week of new release and the title ended up in the Top 100 on iTunes Plus for about a month. This, of course, translated into some pretty hefty sales. There are never any guarantees regarding securing preferential placement, but we plug each and every product for consideration. The bottom line is that we're a Christian-owned and operated company with awesome opportunities for Christian artists that far outshine the competition. We have a heart to help the independent artist/band grow to their full potential. Thus, we're here to help guide you down the path to bigger and better things. Help us grow as we help you grow.
The upgraded site will be in place within a few weeks, so the site as it stands now is temporary. TRUST ME! The new sight is going to be SLAMMING! In fact, it will be a bit more like a label page than a retail page. You'll be able to pipe in your YouTube channel, Flickr photos, MySpace blog, etc. The presentation will be suweeeet...somewhat like "CD Baby meets MySpace"!

Beyond this basic site and service, we have distribution plans to accommodate artists/bands at all levels - all the way up to national distribution. If you're familiar with Hillsong United, we're dealing with the solo project from one of their main singer/songwriters (Brooke Fraser). Her album was voted Number 1 Christian album of 2008 by CCM Magazine, Christianity Today and Amazon and she was just nominated for a Dove Award for "Female Vocalist of the Year". If you’re interested in learning more about our distribution plans, e-mail us at the address listed below and request information.
Let us know if we can be of service to you. God bless!
