Fourteen year-old thinkaboutit records recording artist Robert Pierre will be joining more than 40 of today's hottest Christian acts for the three-day Collide Festival (June 7-9, 2007) at Willowood Ranch near Sherman, Texas. At the festival, Pierre will take the stage on June 8th from 8:55-9:25 p.m. CST, to perform songs from his debut album, Inside Out, which released November 7, 2006.

The Collide Festival is an event designed to bring people closer to God through music and message. The festival has carefully selected each artist and band for their unique abilities to impact the culture through music. In addition, the festival has hand-picked a group of seminar speakers who have a passion for equipping both students and adults with biblical insights for bringing people closer to God.

With the release of Inside Out, Robert Pierre has been receiving comparisons to Billy Gilman, Jump5, Jesse McCartney and Hanson from media outlets such as Focus on the Family's Brio and Breakaway magazines for teens, Plugged In Magazine and Christian Music Planet Magazine. In the months leading up to and following his album release, Pierre has been introducing tweens and their parents to his music through events like Rock the Universe 2006, held at Universal Studios Florida(r) theme park in Orlando, and the Christ in Youth "Believe Tour," which hit ten markets throughout its October 2006-April 2007 run. His interactive website further acquaints visitors with the teen artist by offering a preview of Inside Out, through a flash audio jukebox player, and downloads of buddy icons, banners, avatars and screensavers. Pierre will also be featured on several other festivals in summer 2007, including the Crossover Festival, Atlanta Fest, the Unity Festival, Rock the Light Festival and Rock the Universe.

With a passionate voice and a message of hope, Robert Pierre connects to both his peers and their parents, filling the recent void in the tween market. Inside Out touches on themes of God's love, walking by faith and the difference one person can make, as well as tackling the timely discussion of evolution vs. the case for a Creator. Produced by Robert White Johnson (Celine Dion, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Van Zant), The Stitts Brothers (Chris Tomlin, Al Green) and Dove Award-winning singer/songwriter Al Denson, Inside Out reflects a young man with a strong desire to develop a music ministry to youth and music lovers alike.

Robert Pierre's Inside Out is distributed in the CBA market by Provident-Integrity Distribution and by Sony BMG in the general market and can currently be found in major retail chains such as Wal-Mart, Best Buy and Circuit City.
