Question:
Tell us more about Lion of Zion entertainment, your new record label. Why did you start it?
Answer:
I know that it seems like every artist out there that sells a few records turns around and starts their own label. I am not doing this to be a "banwagoniss" (Jamaican for "Jumping on the bandwagon"). I know that over 6 years ago God called me (Mark Mohr) to start my own record company "Lion of Zion". I just had to wait for God's specific timing before I embarked on this serious task.
I know everybody says this at the beginning, but my label is going to be different. I have been an artist, I've been in the industry and I have dealt with record companies. The sad truth is that you can get a far better deal in the general market than you can right now in the Christian. There are a lot of things done in the name of Jesus in the Christian industry that shock me. With this in mind, we plan to offer the artists that I sign a better deal than they will find anywhere else- PERIOD. One of the themes of the company is to "Do unto others as we would have them do to us." This is an easy thing to forget when you start negotiations. But we must remember that "He has shown thee man what is good and what the Lord requires of thee. To do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God". Justice, mercy and humility are key.
As for the music on our label, our theme is "Reaching the World through World Music". That's it. Obviously a main focus will be on reggae from roots to dancehall and everything in-between. However, we also plan on releasing other Caribbean sounds (Like Soca and Calypso), as well as Latin Music (Merengue, Underground and Salsa) and hopefully some African Music. As of now it is one thing at a time.
