He is already proven as a hit songwriter for both himself and other artists. We are excited to partner with him and his team to create some musical history.”
“Dylan Schneider is a proven hitmaker who is poised for even more, and he will be a great addition to the Verse 2 family,” says Sony Music Publishing Nashville CEO Rusty Gaston. “I’m also very excited about what Kane and Kent are building at Verse 2 – with three No. 1 singles in their first three years of business, I look forward to seeing what they will accomplish next.”
“I’ve respected Kane for so long, so I’m thrilled to join the Verse 2/SMP family,” says Schneider. “Writing songs for myself and other artists is so rewarding, I can’t believe I get to call this work. I can’t wait to start this new journey with the best team. Thanks for believing in me. Let’s make some magic!”
Currently, he is on tour with Scotty McCreery, after wrapping dates with Kane Brown and Tyler Hubbard, and is set to join Nate Smith’s “World On Fire Tour 2024” kicking off in January.
