Kaylee Bell Reveals Signing With C3 Management

After years of being independent and self-managed, New Zealand singer-songwriter Kaylee Bell has found the right team she wants by her side as her career goes global. Bell has officially signed with C3 Management, the artist division of C3 Presents, for US management.

Bell’s signing follows a huge couple of years that saw her open for Ed Sheeran on his Mathematics tour in New Zealand, perform at international festivals, and a massive 2024 that’s seen her release a successful new album (Nights Like This), headline tours in Australia and New Zealand, and lock in a spot at CMC Rocks 2025 and a support slot for Kane Brown later this year.

In addition to touring plenty, Kaylee Bell has racked up some impressive accolades, including the Female Artist of the Year award at the Golden Guitar Awards, and became the first New Zealand artist to win the prestigious Jeff Walker Global Country Artist Award at the CMA Awards.

With offices in New York, Austin, Los Angeles, Nashville, and Denver, C3 Management can help Bell’s career globally. The company also has connections to major music festivals such as Lollapalooza and Austin City Limits, either of which could help Bell break into the US market.

In a statement, Bell said of today’s news, “I’ve proudly been a self-managed, independent artist my whole career, but signing with C3 for US management is an exciting next step.

“I’m looking forward to seeing what this next chapter brings while continuing to oversee my career in Australia and New Zealand. I can’t wait to meet more fans around the world.”

Bell, an esteemed country musician, is coming off the back of selling over 10,000 tickets at her shows in New Zealand and racking up the title of most streamed female country artist in Australasia for the past four years running.

In the first two months of its release (May 2024), Nights Like This reached Number 1 on the all-genre album charts in New Zealand.
