FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
VIEWPARK X SOUNDPARK PARTNER WITH BUGATTI BUSINESS to RELEASE CHRISTIAN HIP-HOP ALBUM “LEGACY INSTRUMENTALS” BY 6-TIME GRAMMY NOMINEE GEORGE PETTUS.
New York, March 22, 2022. VIEWPARK X SOUNDPARK New York based virtual global media companies announced a partnership with Bugatti Business to release the first Christian Hip-Hop Instrumental album.
After reuniting at the SXSW conference this year Co-founder and President of SOUNDPARK Joseph Clarke and CEO of Bugatti Business, George Pettus, who are also first cousins, decided to partner for George’s latest body of work “Legacy Instrumentals” which is a dedication to their family who are a four-generation Baptist Church family based on Long Island. The album consists of ten instrumental works composed by Pettus.
“After not seeing each other for 30 years, I met my cousin George because of a strong desire to connect and it changed my life entirely,” comments SOUNDPARK’s President, Joseph Clarke. “We were very close as children and like most families separated as we all got older. I’m so impressed with my cousin and everything he has achieved. This album is the unique combination of Hip-Hop and Gospel you want to hear and vibe with. Listening to this album takes me back to sitting in our great grandfather’s church looking around at all our family singing, dancing and playing all of the musical instruments. I know that audiences globally will connect with this album.”
George Pettus says, “Meeting up with Cuz was such a blessing and to have his company SOUNDPARK partner with Bugatti to market and release the album is special because it represents our family and what made us who we are. I couldn’t have hoped for a better way to reconnect with my family roots over an album celebrating family, faith and hip-hop”.
VIEWPARK’s CEO, Krysanne Katsoolis, comments, “The fact that both cousins ended up in the music business is incredible. Clearly both George and Joseph came from rich musical family roots. Joseph went on to record with legendary hip-hop artists such as Tupac Shakur and George just completed work on the soundtrack for the Wu-Tang series. Put these talented individuals back together and it was great to see the sparks fly. I know there is a lot George and Joseph will do together in the future and SOUNDPARK is the perfect playground for this kind of magic to happen."

ABOUT GEORGE PETTUS
Six time Grammy Nominee and Emmy Nominated George Pettus was reared in a musical family. His father Giorge Pettus, a former MCA Records (R&B) recording artist released back in the 90's appeared on Soul Train, B.E.T’s Video Soul and hit the charts with hit songs like “CAN U WAIT” and “MY NIGHT FOR LOVE”. At a young age George followed in the footsteps of his father by teaching himself to play the keyboard, drums and all the string instruments. Without an education in music, George taught himself to play by ear. As many of us know, learning to play by ear is no easy task and the late great Ray Charles is a witness to that. George has produced all his adult life. He has worked with other artists such as 9th Wonder, E. Jones, Kash, Sinops (Soul council), Jim E.O., Melba Moore, Kelly Griffen, Terry Hunter, Raheem Revaughn, Bun B, Rapsody, Common, Talib Kweli, Childish Gambino, Brian McKnight, Avant and Big Remo to name a few.
