Kobalt Music has signed writer-producer Holden James to a publishing deal.

James works in country, rock and pop. He is part of The Boat Boys trio, who toured with Brian Kelly last year.

“Holden is a unique talent and I’m so excited to continue growing his career on the row and beyond!” says Kobalt’s Morgan Brasfield.

“I couldn’t be more grateful and excited for my next chapter with Kobalt. If you know me, you know I’ve never been one to paint in the lines musically, and this team not only supports that habit but pushes it,” shares James. “Making records is tough; the business side is even more daunting, but with Morgan, Kevin [Lane] and Stephanie [Cox] on my side, I’m confident we are going to make some noise.”
