Kinsley has signed a worldwide exclusive publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing Nashville, continuing her momentum as a rising singer/songwriter, following the announcement of her signing to MCA.
“Finding a home with Sony Music Publishing feels incredibly special,” shares Kinsley. “This team has quickly become like family to me, and I am beyond thankful for their belief in me.
“Writing has always been my way of making sense of the world and will always be my first love,” she adds. “I’ve always wanted to write songs that make people feel understood. I’m so excited to have a team that is so passionate in helping me grow as a songwriter.”
“From the moment we first met Kinsley, I knew I had to work with her,” shares Synnovea Halsel, Manager, Creative A&R, Sony Music Publishing Nashville. “It’s impossible not to be moved by the storytelling in her lyrics and the emotion in her voice. Kinsley is such a special talent and we’re so lucky to get to work with her at SMP.”
Today’s announcement also follows the release of her debut tracks, “Pieces of Me,” exploring heartbreak, identity and the lasting impact of love and loss, and “Whiplash,” a fiery track that taps into her lifelong love of rock music. Listeners can expect more new music on the way soon.
From growing up in California to learning music on her family’s land in North Carolina, to moving to Texas in high school before eventually settling in Tennessee with her family, each chapter has left its mark on both Kinsley’s perspective and her sound.
Poetry became Kinsley’s creative outlet to process her emotions, laying the foundation for a songwriting style that blends vivid storytelling, poetic lyricism and raw, soulful vocals in a way that resonates deeply with listeners.
Kinsley first connected with audiences through her “Midnight Sessions” on YouTube with intimate performances that offered an early glimpse into her deeply personal songwriting. Watch BELOW.
