Spring Hill Worship, an imprint of Spring Hill Music Group, Inc., has just signed an exclusive recording agreement with singer/songwriter/worship leader Carl Cartee. Cartee, who has traveled for over a decade as a concert performer, worship leader and worship mentor, is slated to release his debut recording, Unfailing, in March of 2006.

Cartee's talents have been heard nationally over the past year through his writing and vocal features on other Spring Hill Worship projects including Songs from the Bennett House, The Rocks Cry Out and The Glorious Impossible. His vocals have been playing over the airwaves on the Top 30 radio single "My Offering" as well as on the current single "Unfailing Love," now playing at Inspirational and adult contemporary stations nationwide.

Carl says, "I used to love being a bachelor, until I met my wife...being on a team is much better. I enjoyed being an indie artist until I hooked up with Spring Hill Worship. Now I feel like I have someone to take the field with me. I can't wait to see what immeasurable things God will do with our collective faith."

Cartee is known for his rock-inspired guitar playing, his laid-back on stage approach and rasp-tinged driving lead vocals. In addition to a degree in music, Carl has served as a church worship leader himself but now travels full-time in addition to his songwriting. His touring, which often includes youth and college student camps, has taken him all over the U.S. as well as to France, Brazil, India and Africa.

"We at Spring Hill Worship feel very honored to be associated with the music ministry of Carl Cartee," said Spring Hill Worship A&R director Phil Johnson. "People love to actually sing Carl's music almost as much as they like hearing him sing it. The interesting thing about Carl is that he, as a person, is just like his music, full of integrity and substance."

Some of that substance is the Summer Worship Experience, which Carl founded. The Summer Worship Experience is an intern program designed to train college-age musicians and vocalists to lead worship.
