Former Kutless Members Create New Record Label

Mitchell and Zeigler left Kutless shortly after recording the highly-acclaimed "Strong Tower" project.  Their mutual goal was to offer up-and-coming local and regional artists quality production options as well as assist them in promotion and distribution.  Of all the artists they reviewed, they chose Logan Martin to be their first project on Verbatim.

"We were blessed to have Logan accept our invitation," says Mitchell, "and we have had a great time producing his first project 'Colorless.'  We truly believe it is an amazingly creative and accessible album with a strong spiritual message and a fantastic sound that many different types of music lovers will enjoy. Our passion at Verbatim has always been for music that can reach the hearts of people who listen to all different styles of music."

To promote "Colorless," Logan Martin will continue to be featured on tours with artists such as Phil Wickham, Shawn McDonald, and Warren Barfield. Martin, an Oregon native, began writing songs at age 14 and performing live a couple of years later.  He has toured with Jeremy Camp and TobyMac, among others.  
 
"During this past year, we have had the opportunity to build a talented executive team for Verbatim Records, and God has blessed us by surrounding us with wonderful people without whom we would not be able to build on our vision," shares Kyle Zeigler, Verbatim Records co-founder. "We really have sought God's direction, as we feel that our work is His vision to begin with, and God continues to drive us forward. There have been great sacrifices for us, and times of waiting quietly along the way, but God has always been faithful, and He shows that side of Himself often through the people that have come alongside us. We look forward to what he is going to do, in our lives, in the lives of the artists that we work with at Verbatim Records, and in the hearts of the people who listen to the music."

Verbatim has not yet announced additional releases in 2007, but they have confirmed that there are a number of other artists and bands in different phases of the production process. "2008 promises to be quite an eventful year for Verbatim Records and our artists," says Mitchell.

Verbatim Records was founded in late 2006 and registered as a corporation in the State of Washington in early 2007. Founded by Kyle Mitchell (President), Kyle Zeigler (Head of A&R), and business partner Dan Herman (Head of Operations), Verbatim Records operates out of Vancouver, WA. Verbatim Records is managed by a Board of Directors and a team of shareholders. Verbatim Records is distributed through Infinity Music Distribution, a division of Central South Distribution. Verbatim Records claims no association with the musical group Kutless or any of its affiliates.
