After 15 years as a truck driver, the father of "American Idol" Fantasia Barrino is forming his own record label.
His company's first project will be gospel in nature and will "return to the roots" of the Barrino family, Joe Barrino said last week. He plans to collaborate with his nephews, K-Ci and JoJo, who had a hit in 1998 with "All My Life," and his sons, who are in a group called Infinity.
Barrino said he also plans to dabble in R&B and country and clean up rap music, while trying to establish an entertainment industry in his family's hometown of High Point, N.C.
