Kip Moore and Virgin Music Group on Their New Partnership
Both Kip Moore and Jacqueline Saturn, president of Virgin Music Group spoke about their new partnership in a statement.
“I’m a firm believer that this life is what you make it and is enhanced by the people you surround yourself with,” Moore shared. “I see this next chapter of my career as an opportunity to keep building this thing brick by brick. I was making this record independently when I started having the initial conversations with Virgin and other record labels,” he added. “It was ultimately the tangible passion from Virgin Music Group that made me want to team up and see where we could take the next chapter. There is a trust and a freedom in what I do and I can feel that from this team.”
“I have been a fan of Kip’s for years now,” Saturn shared. “His music’s universal themes transcend genre and appeal to a huge variety of music fans. Along with his music, his commitment to relentless touring has helped him build a powerful global fanbase,” she added. “We know this next phase of his career is going to be amazing.”
