MAXIMUM ARTIST MANAGEMENT & LONE OAK ENTERTAINMENT SIGN GRAMMY®-NOMINATED ARTIST
TODD DULANEY TO EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT
“Victory Belongs to Jesus” Grabs Over 14 Million YouTube Views, Earns GMA DoveAward Nomination
New single “Your Great Name” Impacts Radio & all digital outlets on Sept. 8th, 2017
Grammy®, Dove, and 5x Stellar award-nominated recording artist, Todd Dulaney, has signed an exclusive management agreement with Nashville-based Maximum Artist Management. The announcement was made by the firm’s founder and president, Mitchell Solarek. In two short years, Dulaney has become one of the most in-demand performing artists in the country since he stormed Gospel radio with his 2015 hit single, “The Anthem.” The meteoric success of that track along with his sophomore project, A Worshippers Heart(2016 Light Records/eOne Entertainment) — which debuted #1 on Billboard’s Top Gospel Album’s charts — has led Dulaney from being “one to watch” to “one that’s here to stay.”
It was Dulaney’s extensive high-profile concert appearances, multiple award nominations, and fast-growing fan base that brought him to the attention of Maximum Artist Management, a top-tier firm whose eclectic client roster spans m multiple genres. “Todd is a unique talent with a unique gifting for connecting with audiences from all walks of life,” states Solarek. “What he’s been able to achieve in just the past 24 to 30 months is awe-inspiring, but it’s just scratching the surface, we believe. He is an artist and a communicator who will impact culture for decades to come.”
Maximum Artist Management guides the careers of chart-topping artists including: 5-time Gospel Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year and 6-time Grammy® nominee, Natalie Grant; Grammy® award winning producer/songwriter, Bernie Herms ; American Idol alum and DoveAward winner, Danny Gokey; Grammy® and Stellar® award-winning artist/producer, Donald Lawrence; The Voice finalist, Koryn Hawthorne, among others.
Another tangible result of Dulaney’s ever-growing popularity is the exploding demand for him to appear in concert. Practically having been on the road full-time touring the world for the past several years, he has also now signed an exclusive concert booking agreement with Lone Oak Entertainment which was founded in 1993 by entertainment veteran, Jody Mainello. For over two decades, Lone Oak has consistently been one of the top booking agencies in Gospel music. The agency represents many of the biggest names in that genre, including platinum selling vocalist, Marvin Sapp, “Nobody Greater” acclaimed singer, VaShawn Mitchell, comedian/actor, Jonathan Slocumb, Hip-Hop rapper, Da’ T.R.U.T.H, Grammy nominated singer/songwriter, Jonathan Butler, and others. Says Mainello, “We’re extremely excited about having this bright, young, artist on our roster. Todd brings a multifaceted dynamic to his music which is what makes him so vital and necessary to the industry today. We look forward to expanding his ministry beyond what he has already been able to achieve in such a relatively short time. Working with Mitchell Solarek’s team we’re setting the bar high with where we want to take him and it is going to be enjoyable experience seeing where this journey takes him.”
Dulaney’s most recent hit song, “Victory Belongs to Jesus,” has accumulated over 14 million YouTube views to date and was nominated just last week for a GMA DoveAward for Urban Worship Recorded Song of the Year. The former professional baseball player is also finishing up his third album for Light Records/eOne Entertainment. The still untitled full-length recording is set for a January 2018 release. Todd’s brand new single “Your Great Name” will be serviced to radio and available for download on all digital outlets September 8th, 2017. The lead single was written by Dulaney and Dontaniel “Jamel” Kimbrough.
