SongScope.com, The World's First Independent Songwriter Song Shopping Catalog, Teams Up With Acclaimed Contemporary Christian Songwriter, Chuck Leonard.

Vision Music Group Inc., parent company of SongScope.com, today announced the formalization of a relationship which puts Chuck Leonard in charge of the Contemporary Christian genre division of the SongScope.com catalog.

SongScope.com (http://www.songscope.com) was created by industry professionals in need of fresh, new material that was often difficult to find. Until only recently, the majority of songwriters had only been able to "shop" their songs by virtue of limited trips to LA, New York or Nashville. Listing their songs with SongScope.com means that those songs are automatically considered "solicited material" by the music industry, eliminating the need for travel or time consuming scheduling. This leaves songwriters with more time to do what they do best – write songs. From an industry perspective, SongScope.com is a catalog management tool that allows access and retrieval of large volumes of material without the time consuming element of setting up listening appointments.

Chuck Leonard, author of 11 #1 Contemporary Christian songs and nominated this year for the prestigious Dove Award, has been writing, recording, producing and pitching songs in Nashville for the past 15 years.

"This is the perfect internet vehicle to help independent and unpublished songwriters drive in the fast lane on the songwriter superhighway." says Mr. Leonard. The idea of bypassing what he calls "gatekeepers", appeals to him a great deal, as does the idea that songwriters and producers should have access to one another without road blocks such as politics and personal relationships to get in the way. It's the power of the song that really counts. "You can be sure that I will have my publishing catalogs posted at SongScope.com and will be letting all my industry associates know how to check it out so that they can check out my songs as well as songs submitted by the independent and unpublished songwriters. I'm looking forward to the future cuts that we will help facilitate for all of the subscribers that submit their songs."

"I have known and worked with Chuck for many years. He has an impeccable work ethic and is the perfect candidate for this position," says Vision Music Group's President, Jesse Deese, "Our mission with SongScope.com is to get cuts for songwriters of all genres. The Contemporary Christian writing community can be assured that with Chuck, their material will be supported by one of the most talented and dedicated men in the industry. We're extremely proud to have Chuck aboard."
