For Immediate Release
December 29, 2005
Nate Edwards and his D-Town Record Company is ready to Roll in ‘06
Dallas, Texas – The stars at night are huge and immaculately brighter, thanks to the
emergence of Dallas, Texas new R&B/Hip Hop label, D-Town Records. With album
releases slated for 2006, D-Town plans on mirroring the success of the record labels from
their neighboring city of Houston.
A brief overview of the company is as follows: Nate Edwards is the Owner/CEO and
founder of D-Town Records. D-Town Records was created out of EIEG, LLC that stands
for ‘Edwards Independent Entertainment Group’. “We at EIEG took on this project to help
a colleague, who at the time was managing a Rhythm & Blues singer in 2004,” says the
prolific CEO of D-Town. “Since then, we have signed two dynamic artists in LG3
(R&B/Hip Hop Group) and Geisha (Vocalist). Both artists are slated for album releases in
2006.”
D-Town Records is determined to bring a fresh new image and sound to music. With
artists who are already winning awards online in the lines of, “Best Melody, Best Female
Vocals, Best Mood in Hip Hop, and many others”, it’s not hard to see why D-Town will not
only turn heads, but open up the ears of disenfranchised fans across the nation who miss
hearing thought provoking and gratifying music on the airwaves. “I am all about creating
and distributing a product that is worth its weight in gold,” says Mr. Edwards. “My love for
music runs as deep as my love for playing every Sunday for the greatest sport in the world
(NFL). You are taught as a player to leave everything that you have on the field. And the
artists of D-Town Records live by the very same teachings that I stand for. I’ll let the music
speak for itself.”

CEO and Founder: Nate Edwards born in Lincoln Heights, Ohio a.k.a. Zone 15 and moved to Dallas, Texas in 1981. I
conceptualized and I founded D-Town Records in November 2004, out of a company I had created one year prior. This
company is EIEG LLC. And is a Tear 2 supplier to General Motors. EIEG LLC. Stands for Edwards Independent
Entertainment Group.
conceptualized and I founded D-Town Records in November 2004, out of a company I had created one year prior. This
company is EIEG LLC. And is a Tear 2 supplier to General Motors. EIEG LLC. Stands for Edwards Independent
Entertainment Group.
Background: EIEG, LLC (Edwards Independent Entertainment Group) was conceptualized and created
in 2003, entirely by Nate Edwards. EIEG, LLC was originally developed as a tier 2 supplier to General
Motors CCRW (Convey Controls Robotics and Welding) group in Detroit Michigan Central Office. EIEG
covers GM manufacturing plant throughout the US, Canada and Mexico offering project management for the
design, budgeting and implementation of manufacturing equipment for current and new vehicles. D-Town
Records was originally developed as an artist management and music promotions company as our primary
focus. As D-Town Records started to move forward in the artist management arena it became apparent to us
that we needed additional strength in other areas of the music industry, to be able to attract clients that were
experienced and professional enough to provide D-Town Records with considerable management and
promotion commissions. Since then D-Town Records has continued to experience a constant change and
has devolved into NateE Entertainment and EIEG Publishing, and become a multi-faceted global music
entertainment company. Through many years of networking and adding team members with continual
interaction and steady involvement in the music entertainment industry, D-Town Records has now become a
very well respected Indie Label in the music industry. The new entertainment division of Eieg brought new
business to D-Town Records with the addition of high caliber music industry personnel and artists who
began to take notice of who D-Town Records is and where our vision will eventually lead us. D-Town
Records has recruited and aligned itself with some of the best music industry professionals with proven
track records that the industry has to offer. We have always had the music artist in mind as the core focus
of our business. D-Town Records is a very artist friendly music entertainment company and will always
remain so. Over two years of extensive research on the strengths and weaknesses of the Major Labels and
the entertainment industry as a whole, have helped us formulate a very specific strategy to help D-Town
Records, gain and maintain a major market share of these industries as a whole. D-Town Records
philosophy is to take old world music industry mentality and infuse it with new world technology thus
granting D-Town Records a competitive edge. D-Town Records philosophy can be easily be understood and
embraced by the recording industry and the entertainment industry, especially after the music piracy scandal,
because the labels now see the benefit of hybrid entertainment companies like D-Town Records. From the
very beginning of D-Town Records, Nate Edwards has maintained the overall vision of goals and strategies
to make D-Town Records a global leader in the independent music and entertainment industries.

- Interviews DALLAS Urban Sound e-magazine
"In ya biz, and in ya grill"
Dallas Urban Sound Magazine first introduced you to D-Town Records, through the Rodney Daniel Fashion Show interview.
D-Town REPRESENTED! with performances from several of their artist. LG3, Geisha, and Custom Made Click ( CMC).
All of whom are working on cd’s that will be released soon, with LG3 and CMC just about ready to release their first single.
You will definitely want to pick those up. Other artist on the label include Keingz Ransom and Robert Guerro.
The executive staff was all hand picked, starting from Nate Edwards the CEO. He brought on Daryl, one of his good friends,
who brought on Anthony, and so on. They make all decisions together, as a team. Everyone has to agree as a whole on any
major decisions. This is a company built by men, who have a strong Christian background and beliefs.
In the year and a half they’ve been in the music business, D-Town has accomplished a lot. They have a great core group of
talented artists. Instead of being driven to make money, they’re driven to make great music. It’s about making the best music
they can and satisfying the fans, then the money will come. Most of all it’s about providing local artist the opportunity to have
their music heard , become mainstream, and have a chance to be the next big star. Universal and Sony are interested in some
of their artist, as well as companies in France and Japan. The goal is to become international.
I had a great opportunity to talk with the executive staff of D-Town, on a couple of occasions. Owner and CEO, Nate
Edwards, CFO/Co-Owner Daryl Ethley, VP/Co-Owner Anthony Paul, Executive Producer Doneric, and Media and Director
of Artists & Repertoire/Partner Chris “C-Hawk” Hawkins.
Insight to an Artist Soul
One of the things that impressed me most about D-Town, is that they all ( the staff and the artist) work together as a team,
more, than that; they function together as a family. The artist has camaraderie with one another, as well as with the record label
staff. They support one another, work together and have fun together.
Nate and the entire staff of DTR are truly concerned about the education of the younger artist they work with. Nate has
implemented a system, where he pays them for every A& B they receive on their report card and for any grades lower than
that, they have to pay him.

- Press Release: R&B Spring Jam in Cincinnati Ohio with the Deele.
EIEG/D-Town Records’ Platinum, Grammy winning Recording Artists the Deele, wowed the crowd this past Saturday at the
R&B Spring Jam in Cincinnati, Ohio. They put on a fantastic show for a sold out crowd, and brought them to their feet in a
standing ovation! The suave vocalists sang such favorites as “Two Occasions,” “Body Talk,” and Shoot’em Up Movies,”
among other popular hits. They performed along with The Isley Brothers, featuring Ron Isley, and the S.O.S. Band. D-Town
execs Nate Edwards, and Darryl Ethley were on hand for the show, and extremely proud of the Deele’s stellar performance.
This was the Deele’s first performance since being signed to the Dallas based record label, with many more projects on the
horizon. D-Town is currently in talks with the Tom Joyner Radio Show and the Steve Harvey Radio Show about the Deele
performing in upcoming events. They are also bringing the group into the studio, to record a single with label-mates Keingz
Ransom, an immensely popular R&B group out of Dallas.
All of this is making D-Town’s dream of being a worldwide record label become a reality. It was truly a defining moment for
CEO Nate Edwards and D-Town Records to be immediately recognized and respected by Ron Isley who also is from the
same hometown (Lincoln Heights OH) as Nate. Other Cincinnati artists included Bootsy Collins, Roger and Larry Troutman
who founded Zapp, Slave, and the Ohio Players. Rudolph Isley, who retired to become a minister, took time out to talk with
the D-Town execs. He told them to never give up on their dream, keep moving forward, and to keep God in your life and
heart. Advice which no doubt will lead to even more success for the D-Town family. Look for them on the horizon.
