TBN to air Inspired Ambition program on its JCTV channel

Some of today's top Christian music artists will share their personal stories of faith and the ups and downs of the music business during 12 episodes of Inspired Ambition, an innovative reality/documentary television series that follows up and coming CCM artist Erica Lane.

The show's producers, Saylors Brothers Productions say they have inked a definitive non exclusive agreement to air 12 episodes of Inspired Ambition, on Trinity Broadcasting Network's JCTV channel.

Inspired Ambition is the brain child of producer/director Kyle Saylors, one half of Saylors Brothers Productions, and serves to highlight the dilemmas, the failures and successes of Lane’s quest to break into the Christian music industry.

In making the announcement, Lane says, “Anyone who dreams of doing something big can live it out with me -- the good, the bad, the heartbreaking moments, the whole adventure. The idea of inspiring others through this experience is thrilling, and it gives me even more of a reason to press on no matter what.”

The creative team behind the camera, Kyle and Kenny Saylors of Saylors Brothers Productions, have produced or directed over 12 years of national music videos, animations, motion pictures, television shows and documentaries.

Most recently they finished Hollywood on Fire, a documentary detailing the rise of faith in the entertainment industry.

Kyle and Kenny are also producing Facing the Fat, a documentary that follows the world’s longest food fast for 55 days. The Saylors brothers enjoy creating projects that inspire a sense of fascination and insight.

We always have things in development and check out our blogs for the latest news in our projects!"

On the rise, Erica Lane earned her position in the mix of CCM artists when she was named one of the top five winners of the Artist Ovation Competition and performed at the Lifelight Festival in Sioux Falls, SD. This is documented in the third episode of Inspired Ambition as Lane performs on the Souled Out stage in competition with 4 other bands for a national record deal (you’ll have to watch to see if she wins). Lane goes on the road performing, documenting her personal development not only in her music but her faith.

Lane’s most comprehensive release to date, Saved Tonight, is an inspirational and enchanting work of original material and traditional Christmas music. The title song was visualized into a music video and went into rotation on JCTV. Her debut release, Beautiful City, showcases her powerful vocals and is setting new boundaries through lyrics and music. www.ericalanemusic.com.
