Floodgate Records is pleased to announce the creation of Found Records. Found will be a division of Floodgate that focuses exclusively on the Worship genre. Rita Springer’s album “I Have to Believe” is the debut release on the label, which hit shelves September 13. Found Records has distribution through Word Distribution/WEA.

Found Records founder Tim Taber explains the vision behind the label: “I have always loved worship music as well as rock, but as Floodgate grows, it seems to makes more sense to separate the two styles into different labels. I'm hoping that Found Records will be a place for authentic worship. For me it's not about fitting into radio or working in a church setting, it's about the heart behind the music. I want our artists to be true worshippers, in spirit and in truth. The worship albums we have put out in the past have moved me personally to want to worship Jesus, I hope this will always be the case with Found Records.”

Kate Miner and Todd Proctor will also be included in the label’s roster, along with new artists yet to be announced.

Found Records has launched a new website that will eventually supply online tools such as chord charts for worship leaders. It will also feature articles written by Found artists, free MP3 downloads and more.

Found Records is based in Orange County, CA as a division of Floodgate Records. Contact information is as follows: Found Records. 1535 Baker Street, Costa Mesa, CA 92626. 714-573-0264. www.foundrecords.com
