McArthur remarked, “I’ve known Kevin for over 20 years and worked with him in different capacities. When the opportunity came to work with 300 Entertainment, it furthered our commitment to make great songs with great artists. It’s incredible to work with Selim and Rayna. They are amazing, forward-thinking, cutting-edge, strong, and talented leaders.
