ABOUT KIDD G:

Growing up in the small Georgia town of Hamilton (population 1,130), Kidd G first found fame online through TikTok, where he got his start posting songs he’d recorded with his friend, Nolie Beats.

In 2020, he caught the attention of Rebel Music, who signed him on the strength of his genre-warping talents. While early tracks like his debut single, “Sorry,” lean toward traditional hip-hop, he later brought an element of old-school country into his songwriting. As he continued posting his music on SoundCloud, Kidd G soon amassed a dedicated following, undeniably drawn to his hometown charm and the honest detail of his lyrics. As he continued exploring his country roots, Kidd G came up with “Dirt Road”— a nostalgia-soaked ballad that quickly went viral (now certified RIAA Gold), its video surpassing 5M YouTube views in little over a month. Naming Hank Williams Jr. among the artists he was raised on, the burgeoning star has now surpassed 1.5M monthly Spotify listeners, his tracks have seen radio play from KIXX Country Radio in Australia and reached new peaks on highly coveted country playlists including Amazon Music’s “Country Heat” (peaked at No. 2), and Spotify’s “Hot Country” (peaked at No. 3).

In 2020, he released full-length project Teenage Dream which includes RIAA-certified Gold hits “Dirt Road” and “Teenage Dream”. His follow-up project, Down Home Boy, has emerged as a homegrown phenomenon unto itself. Beyond generating 41M+ streams on Spotify, The New York Times championed it as “the year’s best country debut album.” Currently on the road for his second headlining tour, which includes a major country festival performance at CMA Fest this summer, Kidd G continues to prove himself as “one of country music’s most buzzed about newcomers,” as noted by Billboard.

ABOUT ANELLA HERIM:

Singer, songwriter, rapper Anella Herim was raised in Trinity, North Carolina, where he was born on Nov. 22, 2001.  His father worked in the church as the worship leader and with his encouragement, Anella started playing drums at age four.  By the time he entered his freshman year of high school, Anella had joined the chorus and discovered the GarageBand app.  He began recording his own music at home using just his iPhone and headphones.  Working a typical job was unfulfilling to the emerging young artist, so he started turning his talent into income by playing at local bars and restaurants.

In early 2020, while playing at the Boxbar Arcade in Greensboro, Anella was approached by Malik Clark of Definitely Out Grinding Records (D.O.G Records).  By July, Malik had signed up Anella to perform at the No Stress Fest in Winston-Salem.  There he first met DJ ESudd, and the two started working together soon after.  “I feel Anella is a breath of fresh air to the world,” said DJ ESudd.  “Not only is the music soul touching but his personality is also amazing.”

At least 90% of Anella’s music is self-produced, but he has also worked on records with mega producer D.A. Got That Dope.  “My music is relatable,” says Anella, “pleasing and at times, it can be indescribable. I just want to touch people with my music.” Anella, who partnered with Def Jam Recordings in June 2022, is now doing music full time.  But he also enjoys hanging out with friends, who are part of his creative process, and traveling especially when it is to perform for fans.  With his undeniable talent, insane work ethic, and a solid team around him, Anella Herim is ready to take on the world.
