09.25.08

Atlantic Records has announced details of its groundbreaking joint venture with veteran music/entertainment executive Michael Mauldin and SCREAM Star Entertainment. The first artist signed to the newly created SCREAM Star Records imprint, in association with Wyclef Jean’s Carnival House Records, is the versatile young R&B sensation, Maleek.

Maleek is an amazing triple-threat talent,” says SCREAM Star Entertainment Chairman Michael Mauldin. “He represents a throwback to yesteryear, while still having the positioning, styling, and talent to lead the next movement of young superstars. Maleek celebrates his 17th birthday in October, so the timing is perfect to expose a new artist of this magnitude. We have the utmost belief in Maleek’s talent and abilities and are extremely happy to have the enthusiastic support of my partner, Atlantic Chairman Craig Kallman. Maleek will soon be known as the Next Big Star of 08/09 and of the SCREAM brand.”

The legendary Wyclef Jean agreed, stating, “Maleek is without a doubt one of the hottest new talents I've seen in a long time, and I'm proud to help introduce him to the rest of the world.”
