Madeline's first birthday video - set to a song I wrote for her called, "Enough"
In honor of my sweet daughter's first birthday I put together a video from her first year
of life and set it to a song that I wrote to her called, "Enough".
Castro, who recently inked a deal with Word Records, combines his music with his charity work by getting through to fans at concerts, like asking them to donate via text message. He also participated in Malaria No More's "Stayin' Alive" program as an ambassador, who would help get the word out to high school students to raise money for the cause.
Castro says other plans are in the works to help get the word out even further. "I think kids are so dying to be involved with something, and we're about to do some stuff with college kids too," he said. "I think it gives a lot of people a lot of purpose."
ジェイソンは、 Word Records と契約しました。 この会社は、デビューアルバムを出した Atlantic と同じくワーナーの傘下にあり、クリスチャン音楽を専門としています。 ２枚目のアルバム "Who I Am" はこのレーベルから出したのですが、３枚目のアルバムの製作にあたり正式に契約をしたということのようです。 それは既成のジャンルにとらわれずにいろいろな音楽を広げていくためであり、キャリアの大きな変更ではないということです（よくわかりませんが）。
「ぼくたちはずっと一緒に仕事をしてきた。そのなかで、この次のレコードは Word にリードしてもらうのがいいという結論に達したんだ。とても自然ななりゆきでね。でもぼくは単なるクリスチャン・アーティストになりたいってわけじゃない。そこがぼくのゴールじゃないんだ。だから、次のアルバムは最初のアルバムからやってきたことの延長上にあって、それをもっと "true" なものにしようと思ってる」

Watermark Church で "Background (originally recorded by Lecrae and Andy Mineo, for the 6-12th graders)" を歌いました。 たいへん気持ちのいいビデオです。
