NOMINATIONS
KOCH Distribution's #1 Selling Label for Gospel Music
Celebrates 2005 With Daryl Coley, James Grear and
Newcomer, Eddie Baltrip; Reveals Artist/Label
Partnerships for 2006

LOS ANGELES Alliant Music Group, KOCH Distribution's
main supplier of Gospel music, received three Stellar
Award nominations as it celebrates its first year in
business. Reverend Daryl Coley was nominated for
Traditional Vocalist of the Year, the Traditional
Choir of the Year category ushered in a nod for James
Grear & Nu Friends, and one of San Diego's leading
Ministers of Music, Dr. Eddie Baltrip and his
ensemble, Fulfillment, earned a nomination for
Contemporary Choir of the Year.

Paul Wright, CEO of Alliant Music Group says, We are
excited about the nominations for the artists.
Alliant is slowly becoming a frontrunner as a newly
launched label. We want to sincerely thank the
Stellar Awards Gospel Music Association for
recognizing these men for their music and ministry.

James Grear's fifth release, James Grear & Nu Friends
Live, brings a fourth Stellar nomination to the
Minnesota natives long list of accomplishments.
Grear returned to the scene in June 2005 with a newly
formed choir and a label partnership deal with Alliant
Music Group. James Grear & Nu Friends recently
completed an extensive Midwest tour, and they are
booking dates for 1st quarter 2006.

Gospel legend, Reverend Daryl Coley enjoyed a
successful 2005 with the release of his project, Just
Daryl, (Alliant/Diego Music Group) a timeless
collection of signature songs from Coley's fruitful
career that has spanned over two decades. Earlier
this year, Coley was named the official spokesperson
for The American Diabetes Association for the African
American community. Alliant Music Group, Diego Music
Group and The American Diabetes Association
collaborated to produce public service announcements
that were sent to Gospel radio stations to educate the
public about Diabetes awareness. Coley will continue
to perform and minister to the Gospel community about
the illness, which is the leading cause of blindness
and amputation for African Americans. Coley also
introduced the Gospel world to his Godson, Dr. Eddie
Baltrip, who landed his first Stellar nomination with
his debut CD, Daryl Coley Presents: Eddie Baltrip &
Fulfillment---Instrument of Praise.

Clyde Williams, President and CEO of Diego Music Group
says, It's no goodness of our own, but God's favor
that Diego Music Group is honored to have our first
two projects nominated for a coveted Stellar Award.
And it's our 1st year. We appreciate the support of
radio, fellow artists and music industry executives,
and of course the consumers.

Wright's vision for Alliant was to create a
partnership between artists and his label where they
could express their creativity through song, launch
their own label and enjoy the financial benefits of
ownership. Coley and Baltrip's nominations are a
testimony to Wright's formula for success which
clearly is shown through Alliant's collaboration with
Diego Music Group. Wright explains, We're excited
about how we do business. We partner with artists and
we want them to have a stake in their career, and have
something they can walk away with in terms of what
they do as an artist. I enjoy giving the artist back
their control in their ministry and their artistry.

In addition to attending the Stellar Awards in
January, both Wright and Williams have big plans
slated for 2006. The Gospel music community can
expect at least three major announcements from Alliant
Music Group about new partnerships with some of Gospel
music's most admired and accomplished artists.
