(NASHVILLE, Tenn.) April 29, 2010 -- John Kelly, CEO of Inpop Records, has named Andrew Patton to the post of General Manager / Vice President for label operations. Patton was selected to replace Dale Bray, who will be exiting the label he co-founded in 1999. Patton will also continue to operate Patton House Entertainment separate from his duties at Inpop Records.

“I’m humbled by the offer, and excited to step into the label to continue the legacy and growth that Inpop provides to our industry,” says Patton. “Having had the pleasure of working alongside the team for the past two years as a manager makes the transition into this additional responsibility so much smoother.”

“I am very pleased Andrew chose to take on this role at Inpop. He is a man of great experience, enthusiasm and integrity,” adds Bray. “Many of the artists and staff at Inpop have become personal friends, and I feel confident they will have great success and enjoy working alongside Andrew.”

Kelly agrees, “Andrew is a valuable addition to the Inpop family and I am confident that his depth and breadth of experience in the entertainment industry will provide Inpop with the leadership necessary to continue the tradition of excellence set by Dale Bray during his tenure at Inpop.”
