Combustion Music Adds Keithan Melton As General Manager

March 23, 2022/by LB Cantrell

Keithan Melton

Combustion Music has announced the hiring of Keithan Melton as General Manager.

Throughout Melton’s 20-year career in the Nashville creative community, he has worked alongside top songwriters and celebrated multiple No. 1 hits. He began his career at Sea Gayle Music, and joins Combustion from his most recent post as GM of Mojo Music & Media, where he led the creative team for over six years.

Of the hiring, Combustion President Chris Farren shares, “As our musical landscape continues to change daily, we feel it is essential to continue to recreate and adapt our roles. Bringing in a talent like Keithan allows us to bolster everything we do while each playing to our strengths. I couldn’t be more excited to see what comes next with Keithan’s help!”

Melton adds, “Farren and Falcon [Chris Van Belkom] have long established Combustion as one of the most successful independent publishers over the last 20 years. I could not be more humbled by the opportunity to join this team and look forward to many more years of success together.”

Melton can be reached at keithan@combustionent.com.
