LBK Entertainment has signed rising pop musician and songwriter Kev Kelly to an exclusive publishing and artist development deal. Kelly will release his debut five-song EP Saint KDK V on April 17.

LBK recently announced the signing of Marcus Hummon to their roster. The company was founded by Carl Kornmeyer, who has teamed with former Arista Nashville and Universal South label head Tim DuBois and Mariah Topel, who has taken on the role of Creative Director.

Topel says, “I knew I wanted to work with Kev after the first verse of the first song I heard. His sound and style of writing were fresh and unlike anything else I’d been hearing. I was immediately hooked. I knew he was the kind of writer and artist you can’t let pass you by. I’m thrilled to be working with him and honored to be a part of building his career.”

Kelly says, “It’s very rare to find a company that trusts you 100% to execute a creative vision and LBK has been a great partner to have while trying to expand the pop scene in Nashville.”
