Gibson Hill Music
I am a "Gospel Music Publisher" and I want to give you information about publishing, recording, copyrights, distribution and so much more! We hope and pray that this information will be of service to you. Gibson Hill Music is a publishing house dedicated to music ministry. We are a small company with a big vision?to help you as an artist to become as effective as you can be, by opening doors between writers and singers of Christian music.
Completing a song is an accomplishment in itself. But if you want that song to be enjoyed by other people, if you want it to be recorded and become an effective tool of ministry, your work is just beginning! Somewhere along the line, in the process of getting your songs to the public, your creations have to be published.
When you finish writing a song it becomes a product-a property that you own. People in the music industry refer to that property as a ?copyright.? (Copyright law automatically protects Songs. Still it is important to understand when and how they are protected and, the difference between copyright notification and registration.) All of the copyrights you own comprise your ?catalog.? You control the publishing rights to all the songs in your catalog, until you choose to sign a contract giving the publishing to someone else.
When you sign a publishing contract, you are assigning your copyright to the publisher. Ethical publishers don?t ask you to ?sell? your songs outright, rather you license the rights to the song to the publisher for a specified period of time. The publisher ?administers? the copyright during that period. You?ll sometimes hear of a publisher acquiring whole catalogs, which he then tries to exploit. He tries to get the songs recorded, printed and used in various ways, and guards them against infringement. Even though a song is your creation, the publisher controls the copyright once you have given him your publishing. He does a lot of legwork and paperwork for you, and uses his contacts and business savvy to your (and his) advantage. He may choose to help you re-demo your song to make it sound more professional. He may even offer you a small cash advance at the time the publishing contract is signed. Because the publisher invests time and money in the song (because he believes in the potential of the song), you split with him the royalties the song earns, usually 50/50.
Some songwriters (if not most these days) choose to publish their own songs and ?pitch them? directly to recording artists or their producers or their managers. However, publishing is a complicated and sophisticated process. Many songwriters feel that the business negotiations and follow up work of publishing take too much time away from the songwriting and demo projects, and they prefer to let an experienced publisher represent their songs for them.
Publishers can be excellent contacts for songwriters. Publishers build a reputation within the music industry. Some publishers specialize in certain types of music, while others look for crossover potential in songs, so they can peak the interest many different kinds of artists in the same song(s).

He preaches and sings, a great songwriter and shining light for our Lord Jesus Christ. She's filled with the Holy Ghost and trembles with joy.
Their mission........... "REACH THE LOST". Bro. Chuck Gibson and his wonderful wife Phyllis, make up "The Singing Evangelists?
Bro. Chuck finds much joy just to minister for the Lord. His second passion is to write songs and play the green acoustic guitar. He has recorded hundreds of songs and released quite a few CD's. He is been on radio and TV shows and continues to help others with workshops and management tips, through ?Gibson Hill Music? a ?Publishing House? which was started by Brother Chuck five years ago, and is on the way to becoming a great asset to the ?Kingdom of God?
Chuck?s wife Phyllis loves to shout the house down as they say and just sing to the Lord. Sister Phyllis loves to feel the Holy Ghost and it shows every time you hear her sing at the many concerts throughout the country. When the power of the Holy Ghost fills her with his Spirit she trembles with joy and you can hear it in her voice as she gives her testimony.
We met at the 2002 Christmas dinner and from that day formed a wonderful friendship. These people have a way of making you smile, sometimes laugh and just feel good when you are around them. I believe God surely must have put them together for they had to be a match made in Heaven ?So to speak? I never dreamed when they walked into the Marie Jeffrey's building that December day and announced they were new members of ?The A.C.M.A.? that they would be such go-getters. Most of us join something new like this association and we kind of take our time, get a feel of everything, get use to the people, and then if we have not become bored or overwhelmed we start to wade in a little. Then if it feels good we may little by little wade on in and start to work. This couple jumped in headfirst and I guess it was like swim or drown, so they give it there all, and it works! ! !
In a short time they had started the Pulaski County Chapter and began recruiting new members. They also began to set up A.C.M.A. singings, which allowed a lot of us to get into areas we had not been before. This husband and wife team travel to where ever the doors are opened and if there are no doors open, they open doors of their own. Their mission is simple "REACH THE LOST?. They have the tools and don't mind to use them. Their name fits them well "The Singing Evangelists?. They will not only sing their way into your heart and will preach the word and try their best to reach the lost in any way they can. They truly are wonderful people and a joy to minister with. I am very proud that Bro Chuck Gibson and his wife Phyllis is a big part of the ACMA. I know that they will continue to work knowing that time is short; and world needs a light and we have this light in the two of them.
