BBR Music Group/BMG Nashville is thrilled to announce the signing of K. Michelle.
K. Michelle’s incredibly stunning career is nothing short of groundbreaking as she
has stretched genre boundaries and built a worldwide audience of fans through multiple
mediums. With an already impressive resume, the multi-talent is not only an accomplished​​
singer, songwriter, guitarist, and pianist, with five Billboard charting albums 
to her name, but she’s also an entrepreneur, author, executive, actress, television
personality and restaurateur.

“When we first met K. Michelle, she radiated her passion for country music. It’s
the fabric of who she is because the lyrics represent truth. She’s built an incredible
fanbase with her unique vocals anchored with storytelling at its heart and that 
is what transcends genres,” says Katie Kerkhover, VP, A&R at BMG.

“I have been ready. I am grateful for this moment,” shares K. Michelle. “Rebels 
and Real Outlawz, it’s time! I am excited and want to thank my BMG Team. I am happy
to finally sing the music I grew up on. I am a country girl at heart and can’t wait
to share my country music with you.”

Praised as “real,” “brave,” and “rebellious,” a notion that paired beautifully with
her 2013 album Rebellious Soul that soothed fellow rebels with cathartic musical
refuge, K. Michelle’s indomitable spirit and innate talent have encapsulated fans
throughout her multifarious career. Moreover, her classic candor serves as a safe
space and trademark for listeners craving her relatable music.

To her over 10 MILLION social media followers’ delight, the Memphis, Tenn. native
surprised fans by announcing that her sixth album, I’m The Problem, released last
year, was her final R&B record, as she readies her dream of releasing a country 
project. In true K. Michelle fashion though, the always-real songstress gave fans
a taste of what to expect with the bonus track “Tennessee” and introduced her alter-
ego PUDDIN – a favored nickname that originated in her childhood. Reared in a household
where the music of Mary J. Blige and Whitney Houston was played alongside country
icons The Judds and Lee Ann Womack, she would put her Volunteer State Roots on display
when she earned a music scholarship to Florida A&M University by yodeling for her
audition.

A full-circle moment, K. Michelle was featured on the acclaimed A Tribute To The
Judds in 2023, singing “Love Can Build A Bridge” alongside Jelly Roll and Fisk Jubilee
Singers, and performing the song live at “The 57th Annual CMA Awards” that aired
live on ABC (WATCH HERE). In June, she returned to Nashville’s acclaimed CMA Fest
for the second time, performing on not only the Chevy Vibes Stage but also making
her Nissan Stadium debut.

Ready to kick start this next chapter, K. Michelle is actively writing and recording
on her highly anticipated debut country album and finalizing its accompanying tour.
