To Make Impact - Launches Label With Country Artist Ansel Brown Former NFL Pro Bowler Sean Gilbert Heads Up Label Sean/Ansel signing (punch)Charlotte, NC (September 12, 2007) --

"IPAK plans to make an impact in the music business in all genres," says IPAK Records' President, Sean Gilbert. "We are launching the label with the signing of an artist who I believe is an 'All American' country star - Ansel Brown." Gilbert, a former NFL Pro Bowler and legendary defensive lineman (Panthers, Redskins, Rams, Raiders), has become a successful entrepreneur since leaving the NFL. He and Ansel crossed paths on an advertising project and a friendship began as soon as they realized they both shared a deep passion for music.

"Over the past three years, I have watched how devoted Ansel is to his musical career," says Gilbert. "It reminded me of my commitment and work ethic when I played in the NFL." Ansel's first single will be released on September 17, and he's been preparing for this debut for several months. Since creating his MYSPACE page just over a year ago, Brown has made amazing inroads, including the creation of "street teams" in nearly 30 states, and surpassing a milestone of over 730,000 plays. Gilbert will begin signing additional artists (gospel, pop & R&B) to the imprint before the end of year. The label, currently operating out of Charlotte, plans to open offices in Nashville in the next 90 days.
