525 Worldwide Adds Mavis Staples to Artist Management Roster
525 Worldwide is extremely pleased to announce the addition of music legend Mavis Staples to its artist management roster.
A soul and gospel icon, Mavis Staples possesses one of the most recognizable and treasured voices in contemporary music. From her early days sharing lead vocals for the groundbreaking family gospel group, The Staple Singers, Mavis Staples has remained an inspirational force in modern popular culture and music.
A 40-plus year veteran of the music business, inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, and named to VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Women of Rock and Roll, Staples has blazed a rhythm & blues trail while never relinquishing her gospel roots, and in the process has influenced artists from Bob Dylan to Prince, who called her "the epitome of soul." She has appeared alongside cultural icons ranging from Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. to Bill Cosby, from Presidents Kennedy, Carter, and Clinton to Janis Joplin, Pink Floyd, Santana, and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, and she has recorded with Dylan, Los Lobos, and Aretha Franklin.
Her new album, Have a Little Faith, out on Alligator Records August 17th, is a collection of uplifting songs deeply rooted in Staples' faith and spirituality. Produced by Jim Tullio and Staples, the album features the strongest collection of material--both originals and interpretations--Mavis has ever assembled. Have a Little Faith takes listeners deep into the heart of the singer Vibe magazine called "one of pop's most distinctive voices."
525 Worldwide is an artist management and music consulting firm formed in May 2004 by former Tone-Cool Records President/co-owner Dave Bartlett and former Tone-Cool staffer Matt Cornell.
