Such as Kelsea Ballerini’s hit songs “Dibs” and “Love me Like You Mean It”. Kerr has also showed his producer chops on Danielle Bradbery’s sophomore album. He is no secret to the locals and those enriched in the Nashville scene as he has also raked in nominations for his work as well. This includes his work in co-producing Keith Urban’s album Graffiti U. From the looks of it too, he is just beginning his musical takeover.

Here at Sound Check Entertainment we have always been huge supporters of Women In Music. It’s no secret that women struggle in this business, regardless of their talent or popularity. A year ago we joined forces with our friends at Country 101.1 and GallantMEDIA to launch the FavFive t-shirt campaign, a campaign that has since raised thousands of dollars for Women In Music Canada. With so much amazing new music coming out each week from so many incredible female artists, both known and unknown to the world, we thought it would be fun to showcase new music every Friday. The only catch? The artist / song has to have a female connection (female artist, female singer etc..).
