MOUTH RECORDS
“The MOUTH through which the global voice can burst into song”
Mouth’s Roots
The name and concept of MOUTH originated at a convention during my senior year of high school. At this stage of my life, I was beginning to feel called into full time ministry. At the same time, I was experiencing a growing desire to operate a record label. At the convention, we were listening to a sermon about the parts of the Body of Christ. The speaker asserted that he was the Mouth of God since he was allowing us to hear the sermon. However, he said that it wasn’t enough to just be the Mouth of God, because all of the other staff, volunteers, and leaders at the convention were vital to allowing the Mouth to be heard.
While hearing this sermon I began to relate it to my growing desire to operate a record label. I realized that just like the speaker was the Mouth of God at the convention, a record label is the Mouth of the music business world. The label is what gets the music (Word) out of the studio (brain) and into the consumer’s hands (congregation).
Attachment to the name
As time went on, and still to this day, I find many instances in which “Mouth Records” is a perfect fit for my life. My mouth got me into trouble growing up- from eating dog food as a baby, to accepting the gallon of milk dare, talking out of turn, and talking back to teachers. Eventually, I learned that, if I decided to tame my mouth, it could be a gift used to worship God, build community, and, of course, create music.
