VERGE RECORDS, the label arm of global music company ONERPM, has signed Canadian Country star BRETT KISSEL to a record deal. KISSEL landed a recording deal with WARNER MUSIC CANADA in 2013, and went on to release four albums and win 18 CANADIAN COUNTRY MUSIC ASSOCIATION AWARDS (CCMA), including four from this year's show (NET NEWS 9/28).
In 2012, he landed a publishing and co-management deal with veteran NASHVILLE manager BOB DOYLE and his MAJOR BOB MUSIC, and Canadian manager LOUIS O’REILLY. KISSEL, who has 10 Canadian Gold and Platinum singles and two Gold albums to his credit, released his first American radio single, “Drink About Me,” in SEPTEMBER 2019.
“KISSEL is a smooth singer, gifted writer and an incredible entertainer," said VERGE RECORDS Pres. and COO MICKEY JACK CONES. "He has proven that he can build a strong fan base in CANADA and the UNITED STATES, and we can’t wait to work with him!”
“I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work with the team at VERGE and ONERPM," said KISSEL. "After performing over the past few years with my heroes BRAD PAISLEY and GARTH BROOKS - and cutting my teeth on songs penned by NASHVILLE royalty - I’m ready to jump into the American market and bring my music stateside."
