CCMG SOARS WITH THOMAS, DOLLAR

Capitol Christian Music Group has made two significant staff changes, with Walter Thomas rising to VP of Artist Development at Motown Gospel and TAMLA Records and Alexandria "Dria" Dollar joining the company as Senior Director of A&R for the two imprints.

Previously director of Artist Development for CCMG, Thomas will now oversee development of the company's artist roster as well as associated marketing initiatives. He will report to CCMG co-Presidents Brad O’Donnell and Hudson Plachy. Before CCMG, Thomas was CEO of Agency 22 Music & Entertainment, where he managed such artists as Maverick City Music and Smokie Norful.

Dollar, a two-time Grammy winner, was previously director of A&R for Atlanta's Reach Records, working with acts like Kirk Franklin, Chloe x Halle, Lecrae and For King + Country.

"These labels have a legacy of inspiring and uplifting music, and I am committed to continuing this tradition by developing the next generation of extraordinary artists," Thomas said. "I am equally thrilled to welcome Alexandria Dollar as our new senior director of A&R. Alexandria's innovative approach and keen ear for talent are unmatched, and I am confident that together we will elevate our artists to new heights."
