Jonny Capeci Inks Global Deal

Sony Music Publishing Nashville, in partnership with Kane Brown and industry veteran Kent Earls’ Verse 2 Music, today announced the signing of singer, songwriter and artist Jonny Capeci to a global publishing agreement.

An accomplished songwriter and lead singer of the Nashville-based alternative-pop band Nightly, Jonny Capeci has distinguished himself both as an artist and as a trusted collaborator. As an artist, Capeci’s vocals and introspective, experience-driven lyrics have defined Nightly’s unique sound, with the band amassing over 400 million streams worldwide and performing with artists like NF, The Midnight, Andy Grammer, Kane Brown and Imagine Dragons.

“I feel incredibly blessed to be a part of the Verse 2, Sony family,” shares Jonny Capeci. “Kane, Kent, Rusty and the rest of the team are the best of the best and I’m grateful for their support in my music.”

As a songwriter, Jonny is widely regarded as a trusted collaborator across genres, having worked alongside artists including Kane Brown, 24kGoldn, G Herbo, Carin León, Jake Miller, Ayokay and Valley. His recent songwriting credits include “Body Talk” by Kane and Katelyn Brown, which broke into Mediabase’s US Hot AC Radio charts; and Carin León’s “The One (Pero No Como Yo),” which was featured on the GRAMMY award-winning album Boca Chueca, Vol. 1.

Capeci’s work has also landed prominent sync placements including Kane Brown’s “Country Classic” from the GRAMMY-nominated Twisters soundtrack, as well as “My City” by 24kGoldn and Kane Brown featuring G Herbo, which appeared on the Fast X soundtrack.

“At Verse 2 we’ve built an incredible company of songwriters who consistently push musical boundaries while achieving remarkable commercial success,” adds Kent Earls, Partner, Verse 2 Music. “Jonny has such a broad talent and can seamlessly move between genres and musical styles.  We are so honored to add him to the Verse 2 roster and look forward to the success that we will build together.”

“Songwriters like Jonny are what make Nashville the special and thriving creative community it is,” says Sony Music Publishing Nashville CEO Rusty Gaston. “He’s an electric artist himself, while at the same time he’s a compelling and trusted songwriter for other artists. Jonny is built for a supportive and encouraging environment like Verse 2 and we couldn’t be prouder to be both of their partners.”
