Top selling Gospel artist Kirk Franklin has signed his first group, The Walls Group to his label Fo Yo Soul Entertainment.
Raised in the Lonestar state of Houston, Texas, The Walls Group is made up of four siblings Ahjah – 14, Paco – 15, Rhea – 16, and Darrell – 21.
The Walls Group was sought after by virtually every big record label in the business. With their current single “Mighty You Are” making waves at radio.
An excited Kirk Franklin had this to say about the signing, “When I first saw a video of The Walls Group, I knew they were something special,” Franklin said. “I was truly blown away by their vocal abilities at such young ages. And when I flew down to Houston to meet them, I couldn’t believe how down to earth and humble they were. I truly saw something unique in this group and I’m excited to start this new journey with The Walls.” 
PATH reached out to the groups’ father and manager Roger Walls known to many as “Pop Walls” who had this to say, “What can you say about Kirk? We’ll be the first ones on his label, so all the focus will be on the kids.”
Kirk plans to officially announce the group at one of the stops on the Kings Men Tour, and the group will began recording their new project at the end of October.
Initially hesitant to sign with a label, Pop Walls is glad he made the decision to sign. “After Three years of CD release parties and slow progression, everything is now happening instantly,” explains Walls.
Pop Walls will retain his role managing the group along with Kirk Franklin’s imprint.
The Walls Group’s sophomore album is due out in 2013. Their current self-titled album is available online now.
