| Kristina Cornell to Lofton Creek Records January 29, 2007-- Lofton Creek Records has announced the signing of singer/songwriter Kristina Cornell. Mike Borchetta, President of Lofton Creek, knew the moment he heard Kristina deliver a song he wanted her on the label. To say "her voice is unique and appealing, like no other in Nashville, is a serious understatement" explains Borchetta, a long-time music industry veteran responsible for launching the careers of many super-stars including Glenn Campbell and Tim Mc Graw. Kristina is the first act to sign with Lofton Creek since the success of Heartland with their number one song “I Loved Her First”. Kristina, born and raised in Pittsburgh , started writing and performing long before she moved to Nashville to pursue her music. In " Music City " her dreams started coming to fruition immediately, within weeks she landed a publishing deal plus acting spots in several music videos and commercials. She soon hooked up with Cheyney McCarter, as her manager, and seasoned producer Dave Gibson to collaborate on writing and producing tracks that showcased her talent. This teaming resulted in several tracks which quickly caught the attention of many top labels in town. After weighing her options, Kristina felt she found the perfect home for exploring her music with Lofton Creek Records and Mike Borchetta. Kristina's new single “Little Red Balloon” will reach radio in time for the Country Radio Seminar. Her album is scheduled for release this spring. |
