Adams is also CEO of his own PAX-AM label and has also produced albums for Jenny Lewis, Fall Out Boy, Willie Nelson, and collaborated with Norah Jones, Cowboy Junkies, Beth Orton and many others.

ABOUT KANE BROWN

Breakthrough country star Kane Brown broke onto the scene and topped the Billboard Top Country Albums for 11 weeks with his platinum-selling self-titled debut effort, earning him the best new artist country debut of the past three years and setting a record as the only artist in Billboard history to simultaneously top all five country charts. A three-time Billboard Award nominee and double ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS (ACM) nominee this year, Brown's current single, the platinum-selling "Heaven," is currently No. 1. "Heaven" has held the No. 1 slot for more than seven weeks on Nielsen's on Demand Audio Core Country Streaming chart and is Brown's third track to achieve platinum or multi-platinum certification. "Heaven" follows Brown's ACM-nominated, breakthrough No. 1 multi-platinum single "What Ifs" featuring Lauren Alaina, which was 2018's No. 1 most-streamed country song. The 24-year-old singer/songwriter has garnered over 1 billion on-demand audio and video streams, including 81 million views for "Heaven." Brown continues to break records - from his "Chapter 1" EP (2016), which was the highest-debuting country EP of the Nielsen SoundScan era to his No. 1 debut album "Kane Brown," which became the sole country album released since December 2016 to receive RIAA platinum certification status and the only country album to achieve 11 weeks at No. 1 in the same time period.

ABOUT JULIA MICHAELS

Since emerging in 2015, Grammy Award-nominated and multi-platinum selling artist Julia Michaels has transformed pop not only from behind the scenes as a songwriter whose credits span everyone from Justin Bieber to Selena Gomez, but in the spotlight as a solo artist. Her rapid RISE can be attributed to identifiable honesty in every lyric. Within just a year since arrival, she garnered 2018 Grammy nominations in the categories of Best New Artist and Song of the Year for "Issues." That honesty is also why "Issues" received a triple-platinum certification from the RIAA, cracked 1 billion global streams and consumption of 10 million, became the top-selling debut single by any artist in 2017, and placed on Variety's "30 Most Consumed Songs of 2017" as the only solo female contribution. It's why the industry recognized her with nominations everywhere from American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards, Teen Choice Awards, RDMA's to the MTV VMAs and MTV EMAs. Michaels continues to shine on stage well. Following sold-out shows alongside Shawn Mendes and Niall Horan overseas, she embarks on her first official U.S. tour, joining Maroon 5 for the "Red Pill Blues Tour" beginning this June. Her new single, "Jump" (featuring Triple Redd), is from her anxiously awaited full-length album coming soon on Republic Records.
