Keith Stancil

Hi, I'm Keith Stancil. I am the author of Creating Monsters (Artist Garden). I am also the founder of Finding Fame in Jesus' Name University. My passion is to equip those pursuing careers on platforms with the necessary tools to navigate potential fame with biblical excellence.

I served twenty years in sales and marketing roles with Capitol/EMI, Warner/Elektra/Atlantic and Word Entertainment. My most recent label years were served in the role of Vice President of General Markets/International/Digital for Word Entertainment. While personally responsible for sales of over fourteen million records, I worked on sales and marketing strategies for Garth Brooks, Tim McGraw, Tina Turner, Madonna, Metallica, Red Hot Chili Peppers, MercyMe, Amy Grant, Faith Hill, Jaci Velasquez, Hillsong, Randy Travis, Point of Grace, Francesca Battistelli and the WOW Brand.

My wife Diana and I launched Artist Garden Entertainment, an artist management and marketing firm, in 2009. Artist Garden Entertainment currently serves as exclusive management for Holly Starr, Ryan Corn, StompTown Revival, Noah Cleveland, TAL and The Gray Havens. In addition to artist management, I consult and market music releases for various independent artists and record labels spanning contemporary Christian music and Christian hip-hop with a client list that includes Reach Records, RMG Music, Save The City Records, Lampmode Recordings, Collision Records, Flame and Social Club.

I began blogging in 2009 and founded The Music Gardener blog which was honored multiple years by the Nashville Scene in the “Best of Nashville” awards.

I also serve on the board for In Triumph, a non-profit ministry faith-based transitional home for young men.
