Inpop Records artist Mat Kearney recently inked a general market partnership with Aware/Columbia Records, home to singer/songwriter John Mayer and rock band Train.

Kearney released his Inpop Records debut, Bullet, last October. Aware/Columbia Records will handle all general-market promotions and marketing, including consumer publicity, radio promotion and distribution. Inpop will continue to market and distribute Bullet to the CBA market. Kearney also has signed on with Creative Artist Agency, which represents artists working in film, television and music.

Kearney came onto the music scene in October 2004 with "Undeniable," the first single from Bullet. The song broke the record for the largest number of out-of-the-box adds for a radio single on Radio and Records' Christian chart.

He is on tour with alternative rockers Graham Colton Band for a seven-city run and will co-headline a tour with Warner Bros/Teleprompt artist MuteMath.
