Kayley Green has signed with Sony Music Nashville. She is releasing her debut single with the label, “Live Fast Die Pretty,” today (May 24).
Hailing from Florence, South Carolina, Green started singing in church and eventually moved to Nashville and started gigging on lower Broadway. She caught the eyes and ears of superstar Keith Urban, who heard Green singing one night on Broadway and invited her to join him at his next Bridgestone Arena show. Green soon became the topic of conversation among the Sony Music Nashville A&R team in the audience, as Urban gave her the stage to cover “Independence Day” and trade lines with him on “We Were Us.”
She signed with Sony and began working with producer/songwriter Ross Copperman while still holding down a weekend headline slot at Dierks Bentley’s Whiskey Row.
“I’ve never doubted that I was born to sing, but a record deal was something I was afraid to even dream about,” says Green. “It felt unbelievably far out of reach in the bars I played in for so long, so to say that signing with Sony Music Nashville is an actual dream come true is quite the understatement. I am so grateful to be supported by such an incredible team!”
Green is represented by WME.
