Kile Antone grew up in the foothills of Pickens County, South Carolina, where his passion for music first began to take shape. At just fourteen years old, he picked up a guitar and immersed himself in the sounds of bluegrass and traditional country music at the historic Oolenoy Community House in Pumpkintown, South Carolina. Those early experiences helped shape his musical identity and instilled in him a lasting appreciation for the power of music to bring people together through authentic storytelling.
As the years went on, Kile found another musical home singing gospel music in his local country church. That experience strengthened both his faith and his ability to communicate heartfelt stories through song. Today, his music reflects a lifetime of experiences, blending honesty, emotion, and the timeless traditions of classic country with the independent spirit of today's country music.
Throughout his career, Kile has performed across the Southeast and Texas, entertaining audiences in settings ranging from intimate acoustic listening rooms to festivals, theaters, and full-band concert stages. He is the co-founder of The Open Range Band and founder of Kile Antone & The Storm Front Band. Whether performing solo with an acoustic guitar or backed by a full band, Kile delivers genuine, engaging performances built around compelling songs, relatable stories, and a traditional country sound.
As a songwriter, Kile draws inspiration from real-life experiences, faith, family, perseverance, and the everyday stories that connect people from all walks of life. His songs are rooted in authenticity, offering listeners music that is personal and relatable while remaining firmly connected to the storytelling traditions at the heart of country music.
In May 2026, Kile reached a significant milestone in his recording career when he signed with GAC Records Nashville, the independent record label founded by country music legend Leon Everette. That partnership, along with representation by BGJ Promotions, expanded Kile's presence throughout the independent country music industry and marked the beginning of an important new chapter in his career.
In July 2026, Kile continued building his professional team by signing with FAME Management, a division of Fricks Entertainment Group, adding professional artist management and strategic career development as he works to expand his audience and establish a broader national presence.
In September 2026, Kile further strengthened that team by beginning a partnership with Sexton Entertainment Group, a Nashville, Tennessee-based national public relations firm. The addition of national PR support represents another important step in expanding his media reach, industry visibility, and recognition beyond the Southeast as his career continues to gain momentum.
Away from the stage, Kile has dedicated much of his life to serving others. He is a Nationally Registered Paramedic and serves as the Paramedic Program Director at Piedmont Technical College in South Carolina, where he helps educate and mentor the next generation of emergency medical professionals. He has also faithfully served in Christian ministry for more than twenty-eight years and currently pastors two Independent Methodist churches in South Carolina.
Whether performing live, writing and recording new music, teaching future paramedics, or serving his congregations, Kile Antone is driven by a commitment to faith, service, authenticity, and excellence. His mission is simple: to create genuine country music that tells meaningful stories, connects with listeners on a personal level, and leaves a lasting impression long after the final note fades.
With deep Southern roots, a storyteller's heart, and an unwavering commitment to his craft, Kile Antone continues to build his place among independent country music's rising voices—one song, one stage, and one story at a time.

Kile Antone, a talented songwriter known for his contributions to country music, is married to Wendy. Together, they have three children and four granddaughters who support his musical journey.

My music is a reflection of my life—every experience, every emotion, every moment that has shaped who I am. As a songwriter, I follow my intuition, allowing melodies and chord progressions to unfold naturally. I love exploring new musical ideas within the realm of country music, and I've learned that the most powerful songs come from trusting the heart rather than overthinking the process.
My debut single, “A Glance,” co-written with Ron Jenkins of Murrells Inlet, SC, embodies that philosophy. It marks a significant step forward in my musical journey as both a songwriter and an artist. Released in September 2025, A Glance set the tone for what was to come.
My next release, “Drink Some More,” is a true-to-the-core country hit that tells the story of love lost and a life turned upside down. Be sure to check your favorite music streaming platform to hear my latest work.
Additionally, my latest single, "I'll Be There Soon," narrates a true life story of a couple that was married for 64 years. It was released in January 2026 and reflects my growth as an artist, showcasing my live performances and the emotional depth of my music. For more updates on my journey, be sure to check out my EPK.
