Rusty Gaston, CEO of Sony Music Publishing Nashville, adds, “We are thrilled to welcome Kelly to the SMP Nashville family in partnership with our friends at Red Creative. Kelly is a seasoned craftsman who always brings her best into every writing situation. Her track record speaks for itself, and we believe her brightest and most impactful songs are still ahead.”
