INK AND INSPIRATION

Grammy-nominated artist/songwriter/producer Mali Music celebrates inking with RCA Inspiration by posing for this spirited photo with the label's Phil Thornton (left) and Ron Hill. "Um, Phil, this piece of paper just says 'get more Pellegrino,'" noted the multi-faceted artist, who has earned Grammy nods for Traditional R&B Performance, Urban Contemporary Album and Gospel Performance/Song. Thornton replied that the actual contract was on the way. Mali Music just released a new lyric video for his song "Let Go," which you can find here.
