Alright, so here's the deal. When I first pitched Kristin Madison, I just really wanted a Christian singer (both to manage and for Wiki Channel). I found Krystal Meyers young enough to use, but didn't really think about the fact that I probably should check out her style. And while her songs are good, they're not the type of worship songs I like, and I'm kind of regretting not doing more research first because now I'm finding a lot of younger Christian singers with styles that I like better. But I don't want to introduce another Christian singer to Wiki Records.

So here's my idea. It's been awhile since Kristin's last single (Overcomer), and before that it was an even longer time since the last single (Hallelujah) and when she came back with Overcomer it wasn't her usual style. So let's say that Kristin has been experimenting with her voice and different songs, and Overcomer was kind of a test to see how well she would do. Unfortunately, her voice doesn't fit the new, upbeat style she's trying to use to make her music more fun and attract more listeners. So she needs a new plan.

The plan? Kristin is going to start a band. Besides herself, there will also be Cayce Hollins (Jamie Grace, age 23) and Mercy Jones (Hollyn, age 19). Kristin, Cayce, and Mercy's families are friends, so they've known each other for a long time, and they're all interested in signing with Wiki Records, and they all have very different voices. So whenever the band switches their style, it's because a different member is the lead. Kristin will continue to do the slower songs that her voice fits, while Cayce will do more upbeat, and Mercy will rap sometimes. When Kristin is the lead, Cayce and Mercy will provide instrumentation; when Cayce is the lead, Mercy and Kristin will; etc. They may also do some group songs, depending on what I find group-wise.

I don't really know how often something like this happens, but I'd like to try it so that there can be the different kinds of Christian music represented by Wiki Records without bloating the company with several different artists (and giving me more artists to handle). If this won't work, I'll probably have Kristin leave Wiki Records.

The band's name will be "Good News" - just something simple that describes their goal, to spread the good news of Jesus Christ.

What do you guys think? Is this too ridiculous? Do you have a better idea? Please chime in :P
