NEWorks Productions Produces Music for BET’s "EXALTED"

Washington, DC---Nolan Williams, Jr. and NEWorks Productions have been tapped to produce music for BET's new "spirit-hit" show "EXALTED!"

Williams, whose extensive industry work has established him as a songwriter, musician and producer, is one of a select core of musicians tapped to contribute songs for the show's soundtrack.

"EXALTED!" focuses on the lives and ministries of some of the major preachers of our times. The new weekly series explores the path that has led to the success of our country's premiere African American ministers.

Williams' writing and production partners for the "EXALTED!" series include artist/producer JOHN STODDART ("Wings to Walk This Road," Warner Bros.) and writer/producer WARREN JONES (who has also worked with recording artists Gideon Band and Isaiah Thomas).

"I am thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute musically to this important work," says Williams. "EXALTED! is a well-conceived show that provides such an insightful look at some of today's premiere preachers."

"EXALTED!" reflects the effort of BET to launch programming that reaches out to the African American church community," according to Adriane Hopper, co-executive producer. "This show has been an incredible project for the Strange Fruit Films family to produce."

Hopper, along with Strange Fruit Films executive producers D'Angela Steed and Nia Hill created the show.  Don't miss "EXALTED!" on Tuesday, October 30, at 9:00 p.m., or Sunday, November 4 at 12 noon and 9:00 p.m. The show will feature Bishop Charles E. Blake of West Angeles Church of God in Christ, along with NEWorks from Nolan, John and Warren!
