Big News for Clay Aiken!

Two different, but equally exciting, news for Clay Aiken.

First, Clay and Diane Bubel have officially announced the new name for their foundation. The Bubel/Aiken Foundation will now be known as the National Inclusion Project.
We are so proud to launch the National Inclusion Project. As our foundation grows, so does its impact. In order to better reach the ever growing goals we have for this foundation, we felt that a new name would better suit our position as a national leader on inclusion as well as recognize the Foundation's start and the efforts of its faithful supporters.

The National Inclusion Project is poised to continue to make an impact with thousands of children nationwide as well as raise the national consciousness about the need for and benefits of inclusion. We are excited beyond measure to see Clay's original "project" become one that so many people have invested time, energy, and dollars in to see doors opened for children who may have never gotten the opportunity to participate in life the way their peers do. The National Inclusion Project is moving forward hand-in-hand with supporters, families, program providers, and other advocates to see the vision of full inclusion nationwide become a reality. Please join us in our push to make a difference in communities all over the country.
The foundation continues to move forward with their goal of promoting and facilitating inclusion.

The other great news is that Clay has signed with Decca Records! This was posted on his official website:
Clay Aiken signs record deal with Universal Music’s Decca Records. Expect new music in the first half of 2010! Keep checking back here for more details to come.
Can't wait to hear new music from Clay!

Jaymes promised "the best is yet to come!" She was SO right! I'm thrilled about Decca, and delighted with the BAF name change. Clay is such a wonderful guy. He deserves the very, very best....and now it looks like he's going to get it.

Good news coming from Clay Aiken, just as he promised!

The NIP sounds like a great new name for Clay Aiken's charity; it's more identifiable with the charities listings, even though I'll always remember BAF.

A new label, a new name for his charity - Clay Aiken is very active. Hope to catch him if he tours in 2010 - thanks for the information.

YAY CLAY AIKEN! Life is good - great news about Clay's foundation, I know that it is his heart and, on a selfish level, YAY about Decca!!! CANNOT WAIT for 2010!!!!

Thank you!

"Soon" and "Yet" said...

Congratulations on the National Inclusion Project, great name. Clay no doubt will be as involved with the newly named charity as he was with BAF.

Also, congratulations Clay for the new label!

YAY for the new name ~ it's a wise decision that Clay Aiken and Diane Buble have made, the name is more succinct re what the charity is all about. Congratulations to all those that will benefit from this charity, Clay and Diane work so hard for inclusion (as well having the support from Clay's fans).

I am so pleased that Clay Aiken decided to change the name of his charity - it's really better suited for a "national" recognizable charity involving "inclusion". He's an incredible person.

Incredible news for Clay Aiken and his fans [me]. DECCA seems to already be stepping up to the plate and it certainly makes my heart warm to find that the largest label in the industry is so fascinated with Clay. It's just not us ! (NJU).

From the Heart said...

I love the label change..appears that DECCA is already begun its promotion of Clay, even in a minor way. The excitement will build until his CD is ready, and I'll be right here waiting (hee)

This is great news for Clay Aiken and his fans. I have already seen signs that DECCA is stepping up to the plate for Clay. I'm so glad that Clay decided to change record labels to DECCA. It will be a great year in 2010 for Clay, and I'm ready for yet another rollercoaster ride !! Buckle your seatbelts...

Right Here Waiting said...

This is HUGE news for Clay Aiken and his fans! DECCA is part of the UMG group which is the largest in the industry! Congratulations Clay!!

I look forward to new music from Clay in 2010 - and hopefully a tour to support his CD.
