This was from a section on Billboard Magazine! It is a little older but better late than never!
Grammy-winning producer David Foster is
making his first foray into the contemporary
Christian music market with Plus One, a new
male pop group signed to his 143 Records. The
group's debut album will be a joint venture
between 143 and Atlantic Records' Christian
division, which is headed by Barry Landis.
"David is a VP in the Warner Music Group, and
David had, through his manager, Brian Avnet,
expressed an interest in getting into Christian
music," says Landis. "I started having some
meetings and said, `Wow, if David's interested
in getting into Christian music, we really need
to find him something special.' " Landis
surfaced with Plus One, the five-member
ensemble of Nathan Walters, Jason Perry,
Gabe Combs, Jeremy Mhire, and Nate Cole,
who range in age from 17 to 21. A 14-time
Grammy winner who has produced Toni
Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart," Whitney
Houston's "I Will Always Love You," and Celine
Dion's "Because You Loved Me," Foster has
dabbled in Christian music before.
