Sony Music Publishing Nashville is excited to announce the renewal of its partnership with Verse 2 Music, the dynamic joint venture led by country superstar Kane Brown and industry veteran Kent Earls.
Since its launch in 2021, Verse 2 Music has quickly become a powerhouse in country songwriting and artist development. Together with Sony Music Publishing, they have championed emerging talents like Josh Hoge, Rivers Rutherford, Dylan Schneider, Joybeth Taylor, Gabe Foust, and Alex Maxwell—songwriters who are shaping the future of country music.
Over the past four years, Verse 2 has helped release more than 200 major label tracks, earned 11 country airplay singles, and celebrated four #1 hits. Notably, Kane Brown and Katelyn Brown’s “Thank God” earned critical acclaim and was honored as the 2023 SESAC Country Song of the Year.
Kane Brown shared his excitement about continuing this journey: “I’m proud of the writers Kent and I have signed and grateful for the hits they’ve created. Renewing this partnership means we can keep building something special.”
Kent Earls added, “Working alongside Sony’s incredible team has been a rewarding experience. Their dedication to pitching and landing songs for our writers has been outstanding. We’re focused on signing exceptional talent and making musical history together.”
Rusty Gaston, CEO of Sony Music Publishing Nashville, praised the duo’s impact: “Kent and Kane have built an impressive legacy in just a few years—from zero songs to four #1 singles and more hits on the charts. Their journey is just beginning, and we’re thrilled to keep supporting their creative vision.”
This renewed partnership underscores a shared commitment to nurturing talent and delivering country music’s next wave of hits to fans worldwide.
