Faith Evans Returns: The First
Lady of Hip Hop Joins Forces With E1 TV and E1 Music to Star in Reality
Show “It’s All About Faith” and Release New Studio Album



NEW YORK, NY–(Marketwire – February 8, 2010) – E1 Television and E1 Music have teamed up with
Faith Evans, recording artist, New York Times best-selling author, wife,
mother and entrepreneur, to release a new studio album and reality series.


E1 Television, in partnership with Faith Evans and Ten2One Entertainment,
has developed a new reality series, “It’s All About Faith,” chronicling
Evans’ return to the music scene after a 5-year hiatus. Viewers will get a
glimpse into her grind behind the music as Evans juggles a lively home life
and resurgent career with her husband/manager Todd Russaw and their four
children. Each episode will take you into the very real life of this
superwoman as she shares her personal experiences in and out of the
spotlight.


Simultaneously, Evans has been hard at work recording new material for her
highly anticipated 6th studio album on her imprint, Prolific Music Group, to
be distributed by E1 Music. With a career spanning over a decade in the
music industry, Faith has released 3 Platinum-certified albums (“Faith,”
“Keep The Faith” and “Faithfully,”), the Gold-certified “The First Lady,”
and the holiday classic, “A Faithful Christmas.” Evans is a 5-time Grammy
nominee and winner for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group for “I’ll Be
Missing You,” an homage to her late husband and hip-hop legend Notorious
B.I.G. Once again, Evans is set to take the music world by storm.


“Working with Faith on her new highly anticipated album and this compelling
reality series is a perfect example of how E1 Entertainment is implementing
its strategy of utilizing its three business pillars — Television, Film
and Music,” stated John Morayniss, CEO of E1 Television. “We’re excited to
be able to offer artists working in multiple creative fields and
disciplines the opportunity to partner with E1 in all of our complementary
businesses. Ultimately, this allows us to help them reach the largest
possible audience around the world.”


Faith Evan adds, “2010 is shaping up to be an amazing year for me! To be in
a place where I have grown from an entertainer to an entrepreneur is truly
a blessing. I am excited to share this incredible experience with my fans
and the world.”


E1 Television is building worldwide recognition as one of the industry’s
foremost creators, producers and international distributors of quality
entertainment in all genres. The studio has the ability to attract an

specialty broadcasters. Most recently, E1 announced a joint deal with
Summit Entertainment to develop and produce a television series based on
the feature film “Push” which represents Summit’s first foray into
television, as well as a partnership with Stephen King to produce and
distribute the television series “Haven,” based on the author’s novella,
“The Colorado Kid,” which will air on SYFY Channel in the US. In addition,
E1 recently completed a deal with Universal Networks International to
provide content in support of their revitalized channel portfolio launch.
E1 continues to make significant inroads with major broadcasters in the
U.S. and around the world with high-profile series such as “Hung” for HBO,
