Kimberly Perry

Kicking off a brand new chapter, GRAMMY® Award-winning multi platinum country singer, songwriter, and The Band Perry co-founder Kimberly Perry has signed to RECORDS Nashville / Columbia Records as a solo artist.

About the signing, she commented, “From the moment I met the team at RECORDS, their appreciation for my journey and my vision for the future as a solo artist has been overwhelming. Everything came together so organically, and it felt right from the very start. I have wanted to live in Nashville since I was eight-years-old, but I only recently got to officially plant roots here. Being in this town of amazing, creative people for the past year brought me full circle to my original passions – country music and sharing meaningful stories. I am so lucky to have found such a wonderful and welcoming community here, and I feel equally lucky to have found the perfect partner in RECORDS to get my new music out to the fans.”

RECORDS Founder and C.E.O. Barry Weiss said, “We’re so excited at RECORDS Nashville to welcome Kimberly Perry as a solo artist with her return to country music.”

Meanwhile, RECORDS Nashville EVP Promo & Commercial Strategy Josh Easler and RECORDS Nashville EVP Joe Fisher added, “We are thrilled about the honor of working with one of the most recognizable artists in country music. Kimberly has made some incredible music for her solo country debut, and we can’t wait to share it with the world.”

Now based in Nashville, this season finds her growing as an artist and as a storyteller. Her next chapter promises to be her most honest and intimate, and it begins now…
