After 10 years of success together, Sony Music Nashville and global superstar Kane Brown have renewed their partnership, with the multi-Platinum-selling artist signing a new multi-album, worldwide deal with the label.

“Kane has been an undeniable force who has pushed the boundaries in country music for the past 10 years,” says Taylor Lindsey, Sony Music Nashville Chair & CEO. “His talent, great music and ability to connect with his fans is what sets him apart. We are so excited to be his partner as he enters this new era of creativity and look forward to being on this journey with him.”

“I’m really excited about my partnership with Sony Music,” says Brown. “We’ve built something special together over the years, and I’ve got so much respect for Taylor, Ken [Robold], Margaret [Tomlin], and the whole Sony Nashville team. It feels like we’re just getting started.”

Since signing with Sony Music Nashville, Brown has garnered more than 20 billion streams worldwide, scored 13 No. 1 singles at country radio, earned over 60 RIAA certified records—including two Diamond hits, “What Ifs” and “Heaven”—notched over 25 awards nominations and 14 wins and has sold out stadiums and arenas across the globe.

Additionally, Brown has earned numerous accolades for his ongoing philanthropic work with The Boys & Girls Club, including the Country Radio Seminar (CRS) Humanitarian Award, the Champion of Youth Award from The Boys & Girls Club and the People’s Choice Country Awards Country Champion Award. After being named to TIME’s 100 most influential people list in 2021, Brown became the first black artist in history to headline and sell out Boston’s historic Fenway Park (2023).

Brown has also stepped into film and television as an actor and executive producer, is a founder of Verse2—a publishing venture in partnership with Sony Music Publishing—and is set to open his new Nashville bar, Kane’s on Broadway, later this year.

Brown recently kicked off his next era of music with the new track and music video, “Woman.”
