KING EMPIRE RECORDS is a groundbreaking new label geared to giving gifted, up and coming artist an opportunity to showcase their talent. This independent label, founded by Russell Neal, is dedicated to providing national exposure to its entire artist roster while using a combination of strategies from both independent and major labels. Hard work and determination have been the keys to success for a number of independent labels that are not able to keep up with the spending frenzy of major labels across the country. King Empire Records has captured the essence of this guerilla philosophy and are prepared to take it to the next level. Russell Neal, the founder and CEO, has been in the music industry since he was 16 years of age. As an original member of the Platinum R&B super group Hi Five, he was part of Three (3) albums, two (2) number 1 hit songs, two (2) Grammy nominations, and two (2) Soul Train music awards. Hi-Five were the reigning kings of R&B in the early 90’s. After signing with Jive records in 1990 their self-titled album went multi-platinum with the hits “I Like The Way”, “I Can’t Wait Another Minute”, “Just Can’t Handle It” and “Just Another Girlfriend”.
Now Mr. Neal has turned his experiences and passion for developing talent into a first-class entertainment company with good positive morals and cutting edged marketing strategies unparalleled anywhere in the industry today. The first release from this innovative new label is SYMPHONEE. This girl trio from Neal’s home town Waco, Texas ages 18, 19 and 20 have stunned everyone who has seen and heard them and they are beginning to make noise throughout the state of Texas. The three girls Brandi “Summer” MacCollister, Keleisha “Nikki” Fuller and LaCasey “Shalae” Jackson have been working with Atlanta Based super producer DON VITO who has produced hits for some of the biggest acts in the business. Vito’s current hit list includes CHERISH featuring YUNG JOC “Killa” (from the forthcoming Step Up #2 movie soundtrack), JAGGED EDGE “Good Luck Charm”, OMARION & BOW WOW’s hit single “Girlfriend”, PEACHCANDY’s “Wish I Never Loved You“ and CHERISH featuring SEAN PAUL’s gold single “Do It, To It” to name a few. After hearing Summer’s voice for the first time Don Vito stated “She is anointed to sing.” SYMPHONEE’s 1st single entitled “IF YOU WANNA GET IT” (produced by Don Vito) is sure to garner R&B, POP and Rhythmic radio appeal! The single is being serviced to radio, clubs, mix tape/club DJs now! Russell Neal’s plans are to build momentum with radio airplay, TV, clubs/street awareness, internet/ music video marketing, and good old fashion hard work.
