3 Ring Circus Music, the independent company founded by Jeffrey Steele, has signed producer/writer Brandon Hood to a publishing deal.
A native of Blairsville, Ga., Hood attended Belmont University, where his guitar playing and production skills caught the attention of noted producer Dann Huff and his business partner, Darrell Franklin. They signed Hood to their Crosstown Songs venture and continued to work with him after their company was sold in 2009. Franklin serves as Hood’s manager as well as management rep for Steele and a 3 Ring Circus consultant.
Hood has collaborated as a producer and writer in several musical genres with artists such as Burt Bacharach, Westlife’s Shane Filan, and Matt Wertz.
“I’m very excited to be working with Brandon in this new phase of his career through 3 Ring Circus Music,” said Franklin. “Jeffrey Steele’s energy, dedication and longtime experience as a songwriter and producer will take Brandon to another level. Brandon has the goods–his writing, production and playing are amazing–and this is going to be a big year for him,”
3 Ring Circus Music’s current roster includes Steele, Hood, and Country trio The Shuggah Pies.
