Songwriter, worship leader and musician Ryan Kennedy has signed a record deal with Fair Trade Services and a management deal with one:eight entertainment.

Along with the announcement, Kennedy has released his debut single, “Be My,” marking the beginning of a new chapter as a solo artist. Written by Kennedy, Charity Gayle and LA Strother, “Be My” is a heartfelt prayer for anyone walking through uncertainty, and reminds listeners that while God never promised life would be easy, He has promised His presence, His peace and His strength through every period.

“I’ve carried these songs in my heart for nearly a decade,” says Kennedy. “There were definitely seasons when the waiting wasn’t easy, but more than anything, I wanted this record to come in The Lord’s timing, not mine. I’m incredibly grateful that the time has finally come and that this new chapter begins with ‘BE MY.’ The song is about trusting the Lord to be everything He’s promised to be and knowing that He’s present and at work all the time. The journey to releasing this record has been a testimony of that truth.”

“Ryan is one of those rare artists whose songwriting, musicianship and heart for the Church are equally compelling,” says Greg Ham, founder and owner of one:eight entertainment. “His gifts as a songwriter are well established, but what excites us most is introducing people to Ryan as an artist. The one:eight team is honored that Ryan has entrusted us with this next chapter of his career and we look forward to stewarding it well.”
