First Single "Don't Wanna Fight" Gains Early Spins At Radio
NEW YORK, March 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Jive Records along with Miami based
Final Cut Music Group and legendary label Slip N Slide (home of artists
Trick Daddy, Trina, Plies and Rick Ross among others) announces the signing
of singer/songwriter Qwote. His first single "Don't Wanna Fight" is gaining
strong radio support in his home state of Florida and the single is
impacting pop radio nationwide on March 31st. "Don't Wanna Fight" will be
released with two versions; one featuring hip-hop star Trina, and a
reggae-tinged version featuring pop-reggae sensation Shaggy.
Born in Haiti and raised in NY and Miami, Qwote showed his love for
music since an early age. Drawing inspiration from artists like Sam Cooke,
The Beatles, Michael Jackson and Lenny Kravitz, Qwote decided to commit to
music and work hard towards his future goals and success. His first break
came when he got a chance to work with Slip N Slide's artist Trina and
producer Steve Obas, owner of Final Cut Music Group. His writing skills and
charming vocals quickly led him to a record deal with Slip N Slide. To this
date, Qwote has collaborated with Trina, Wayne Wonder and Shaggy among
others.
While his debut album is still in the works, Qwote is looking forward
to collaborating with a stellar roster of producers on his upcoming
project. "The album will be about me and my vocals and my skills as a song
writer," says Qwote. "I hope the album will please my fans' minds, bodies
and souls."
"Qwote is the kind of pop artist that is going to expand Slip N Slide
Records' roster and show the growth of the label," states Slip N Slide's
CEO Ted Lucas. "He will also demonstrate the next level that Slip N Slide
Records is going to. This year we are going to have exciting international
songs and artists cross barriers that we have never touched before."

Verity, GospoCentric and Fo Yo Soul. These labels represent a varied group
of artists including Justin Timberlake, R. Kelly, Usher, Tool, Ciara, Chris
Brown, Pink, Britney Spears, OutKast, Kirk Franklin, Three Days Grace, 311,
