American country singer Kenny Chesney has launched the record label Hey Now Records, alongside his longtime manager Clint Higham, the former head of Warner Nashville, John Esposito, and former Big Machine executive Kris Lamb.

Chesney, who will serve as the label's flagship artist, commented 'When Clint, Espo and Kris came to me with the idea of creating our own team, I was curious. A label like this can be all in, let's make stuff happen - and I have always been about making things happen. Creating and exploring what's possible inspires me, and this is a moment where we can realise ideas in a matter of hours'.
