Artist solutions company, The Fuel Music & Management Co, has entered into an exclusive marketing and distribution alliance with Bethel Music, an organic extension of Bethel Church in Redding, CA. On June 1, Fuel Music began representing both current and catalog Bethel Music albums, containing original songs by senior worship pastors Brian and Jenn Johnson, worship leaders Jeremy Riddle, Steffany Frizzell-Gretzinger, William Matthews, Matt Stinton and other emerging artists into worldwide markets. Handling both physical and digital retail sales into Christian and general market stores internationally though its Fuel Distribution/Tonetree Music arm, Fuel's U.S. physical distribution to Christian stores will be through New Day.

Bethel Music's first project under this alliance, also their first studio album, is slated to release this September. In addition to servicing new music, Fuel will handle the substantial Bethel Music back catalog of releases, which includes 2012 releases For The Sake of the World and The Loft Sessions, as well as the 2011 Be Lifted High release featuring "Love Came Down."

"It is an honor for our team at Fuel to represent Bethel Music," says Tony Patoto, The Fuel Music Management Co president.
