Urban Gospel Alliance Visionary Steps Down to Help Others Step Up
Curtis Jermany Refocuses Efforts to Broaden the Reach of Independent Artists

(Oakland, CA) Curtis Jermany, the visionary of the innovative artist organization Urban Gospel Alliance, recently announced that he will be stepping down as CEO in order to better assist artists to successfully reach the urban gospel marketplace. Through GZ Underground, an online marketing and promotional firm that offers high quality e-blast, design, writing, and photography services at an affordable cost - Jermany plans to bring the image of independents up to par with that of any major label artist.

"The best way for me to continue to be a champion for urban artists is to fill the gap for what they need the most," comments Jermany. "Over the past 5 years that I've headed up UGA, I know that artists have a sincere desire to present their ministry with excellence - but the type of high quality marketing materials and better focused promotional campaigns needed to capture market share is usually financially out of reach."

Well thanks to the expanded services of GZ Underground Jermany is now focusing his energy towards, a professional image will be more than attainable by independent artists, small businesses, and ministries. The new services offered by GZ Underground will include graphic design, press release writing, and flash-based EPKs.

UGA members will benefit from this transition, as Jermany and the new CEO of UGA, Ursula D. Edwards, have pledged to continue to work closely together for the betterment of the organization and to broaden the reach of the entire urban gospel community. Edwards is the former Georgia chapter Director of UGA, and the former National Chapter Rep Liaison. "Ursula is more than capable of heading up UGA. By her holding a variety of positions within UGA, in addition to owning her own successful urban gospel entertainment company, she is completely ready to take UGA to where it was always intended to go," notes Jermany.

Insisting that this is a refocusing - not a retirement - Jermany remains as passionate about urban gospel music as he was 5 years ago when he first founded UGA. The move also includes plans for a San Francisco area urban gospel radio show.
"This is just where I'm needed most, these are the skills God has gifted me with that are to be used to increase the exposure of all those with artistic ministry gifts," reflects Jermany.
