Mozes and NY's Knitting Factory Continue "Music to Go" Concert Series Featuring J Records Artist Jazmine Sullivan on September 17

Fans and Tastemakers Will Share a 360º Mobile Concert Experience Through Mobile Ticketing, Radio Promotions and Day-of-Show Mobile Alert Campaign

Mozes (www.mozes.com), the service that connects people to what they love from their mobile phones, announced today that singer/songwriter Jazmine Sullivan is the latest artist to be featured in the exclusive "Music to Go" concert series, co-hosted and produced by Mozes and the Knitting Factory, New York's premier venue for emerging talent. Mobile tickets to the free concert, to be held on September 17, will be offered exclusively to members of Jazmine's mob (mobile fan club) and to select music and cultural influencers in the New York area.

Fans who want to join Jazmine's mob and receive a free mobile ticket to the show can call Jazmine's Mozes line at 215-789-4753. No paper tickets will be issued.

Once at the Knitting Factory, fans can send messages to Jazmine via text-to-screen messaging that will be displayed in real-time during the concert and to her MySpace page. Radio station Hot 97 will be participating in the event by promoting the "Music to Go" performance and featuring music from Jazmine's debut album "Fearless," which will be released on September 23 on J Records.

"Music To Go" has become a powerful way for us to bring fans and rising stars like Jazmine together through mobile," said Andrew Adashek, Director of Interactive Media for the Knitting Factory. "Through our partnership with Mozes, we are helping fans discover great new music and develop stronger connections to the artists they love through a trusted, spam-free service that combines text, voice and the web."

Jazmine's debut single "Need U Bad" hit the #1 spot on Billboard's Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts, which made her the first female in almost four years and the eighth in this decade to accomplish this feat. The Knitting Factory concert will feature music from her debut album, "Fearless," which features a soulful blend of lush musical arrangements; expressive, witty lyrics; and rich vocals.

"Fans want to experience their music from all angles and all access points -- from mobile downloads to viral web video to live concerts," said Patricia Dao, Director of Business Development at Mozes. "'Music to Go' gives fans 360-degree contact with their favorite stars such as Jazmine, and we're thrilled to work with the Knitting Factory again to bring this incredible talent to fans through their mobile devices."

"Jazmine is dedicated to connecting with her fans in a meaningful way," said Jules Ferree, Manager, Mobile Marketing at RCA Music Group. "'The Music to Go' event and our ongoing mobile campaigns with Mozes are ideal avenues for building Jazmine's relationship with her fans."

The Jazmine Sullivan concert is the second in the ongoing "Music to Go" series, which included a May 2008 performance and mobile contest with R&B star Lloyd, who offered a free trip to his hometown, Atlanta, for the fan who left the best voice message for Lloyd when requesting mobile tickets.

Members of the media are also invited to attend Jazmine's show at the Knitting Factory in New York on September 17. For more information, or for tickets, please contact: Jules Ferree, RCA Music Group at jules.ferree@sonybmg.com
