Sony Music Publishing Nashville and Verse 2 Music, led by Kane Brown and Kent Earls, have renewed their partnership.

“I’m so excited to continue our company Verse 2 with Sony Music Publishing,” shares Brown. “I’m proud of the writers that Kent and I have signed and grateful for the hits that they’ve written.”

Established in 2021 as a joint venture with Sony Music Publishing, Verse 2 Music represents Josh Hoge, Rivers Rutherford, Dylan Schneider, Joybeth Taylor, Gabe Foust, Alex Maxwell and more.

Since its inception, Verse 2 has cut over 200 major label releases, released 11 country airplay singles and have notched four No. 1 hits including Kane Brown and Katelyn Brown’s “Thank God,” which was also named the 2023 SESAC Country Song of the Year.

“We’re thrilled to renew our deal with Sony Music Publishing and Rusty Gaston,” says Earls. “We’ve had a great start so far building something special alongside Sony’s amazing team. They have delivered in every way from consistently pitching to landing cuts for our incredible writers. We look forward to building on our mantra of signing exceptional artists & writers while aspiring to make musical history.”

“Kent and Kane are a creative and business dynamic duo,” adds Gaston, CEO, Sony Music Publishing Nashville. “Just within a few years, they’ve gone from zero songs to celebrating four No. 1 singles, with multiple singles on the chart currently. Their success is just getting started, and we are so excited to continue this journey with them.”
