In 1993 Dr. Logan with over 40 years of experience in the entertainment industry and a proven record of success with some of the top names in Gospel Music created the leading website on the Internet and the nation’s leading Music Trade Magazine for the Gospel / Christian Community called Gospel International. Dr. Logan developed the framework for a multimedia Gospel Enterprise combing traditional “street level experience” with “technology” based delivery systems. Her ability to respond to the changing marketplace using technology is an example why Ms. Logan still remains “cutting edge”.
