Singer/songwriter Jay Allen has inked an exclusive publishing deal with MV2, the publishing and artist development company formed by Tony Harrell, James Archer, and Clay Myers.

“I am both honored and excited to be working with Jay,” said Harrell. “He is an exceptional artist with an undeniable voice and presence that is truly captivating.”

Allen hails from Cedar Falls, Iowa. He moved to Nashville in 2013.

“When I first walked into MV2, it was a new venture and the place was empty…no furniture, only a card table and a few folding chairs,” shared Allen. “Tony and Clay greeted me at the door with a firm handshake, we spoke for an hour or so, and I knew I had found my home. Seems like I’ve been through hell and back to get here, but I can’t help but feel blessed. James, Tony, Clay, Kendra, and the entire MV2 team are the most authentic, hardest working, faith-driven people I’ve ever met, and I’m proud to call them my family.”

Also on board at MV2 are the executive team of Blake Gage and Harold Johnson. 

Harrell and Myers can be reached at 615-320-0036, or tony_harrell@mv2entertainment.com and clay_myers@mv2entertainment.com.
