Banner Music has signed Shelby Lee Lowe to their artist roster. The Cornersville, Tenn. native recently graduated from MTSU and is working on his debut project with the company.

“Shelby brings a lot of energy and enthusiasm to our team.  He is determined to do what it takes to succeed and he is full of optimism about accomplishing goals.  I think a company like Banner Music is known for the quality of artists and songwriters they sign and I believe Shelby’s personality and commitment is a good fit because he supports and strengthens our company’s reputation by having the same qualities that we have,” said Daniel Kleindienst, co-owner/songwriter/producer of Banner Music.
