Matt Stell has signed Black River Entertainment.
“I knew I wanted to sign with Black River Entertainment from the first time we all met,” shares Stell. “I’ve been blown away by their culture, character and support from the get-go. I think we were sold on each other very quickly, which is why this deal happened at warp speed. It’s already a great fit and I’m so excited about what the future has in store for all of us.”
The Arkansas native has amassed over 1.1 billion global streams and earned two chart-toppers at country radio with the double-Platinum hit “Prayed For You” and Platinum certified “Everywhere But On.” Stell will release “Better Angels” with Ne-Yo this Friday (May 29), his first track on the label.
“From the moment we started hanging out with Matt, it didn’t take long for us to see he belongs at Black River,” shares Gordon S. Kerr, CEO of Black River. “He’s an incredible artist with a unique voice and a vision for where he wants to go and now, we are proud to be part of that journey.”
“Matt is a fantastic artist and is surrounded by a great team, led by Brendan Rich. We’re all so excited about his new music and our future together,” adds Black River EVP Rick Froio.
