The Management Agency (TMA), Jacksonville, FL, has signed Southern Gospel recording artist SHANE MATHIS to a development/management deal.

Shane Mathis (Atlanta, GA) has always had a passion for the art of music. He grew up in a musically-inclined family. His great-grandfather was a professional opera singer while at the same time, he and Shane's great-grandmother performed in churches all around the Atlanta area. Shane's grandmother was also an established Gospel singer, played piano and tenor saxophone, and has sung in choirs all her life. You could say music is intrinsically part of Shane's DNA!

At the age of thirteen Shane was heavily influenced by his grandmother's gospel trio, New Day, and from there a love of all things Gospel music was born. It was at this age he decided to embark on the journey of becoming a successful Gospel singer. While performing full time in his high school's performing arts program, Shane balanced a life fully devoted to the call of sharing God's word through singing Gospel music. During his high school years Shane produced three professional CDs with singles airing live on gospel radio, and was a guest star on Don Frost's TV show "Music City Gospel Showcase" in Atlanta.

Shane currently attends Toccoa Falls College (GA) where he majors in Ministry Leadership with a minor in Business. This will further his education in the areas to which he was called to share God's word through his musical gifts.
