Longtime music businessman Dan Keen and his wife, Kimberly, have acquired Nashville based modeling and talent training center, Advantage Talent Development. Advantage was founded in 1987 by former Miss Tennessee Nise’ Davies who will remain an integral part of the modeling and acting aspects of the operation.

“The entertainment industry is no longer about specialization,” said Keen. “Stars like Miley Cyrus, who started her career at Advantage, have demonstrated the advantage of developing multiple talents; songwriting, singing and acting. We offer the opportunity for Nashville’s music stars to become movie and television stars as well.”

During his 15-year tenure at ASCAP, Keen signed Ashley Gorley and Rachel Thibodeau to the organization. They went on to win Songwriter of the Year and Song of the Year, respectively. He also signed Chris Young, who was represented by Advantage for acting and modeling.
