Co-Founder and President

Nathalie Stebleton is a Co-Founder and President of Kid Gloves Music whose dedication helped power the company into a force in the music publishing industry.  Ms. Stebleton previously had a behind-the-scenes role with the company as she solidified the foundation for Kid Gloves' phenomenal growth.

She is now pursuing plans aimed at getting more exposure for Kid Gloves' songwriters, composers and producers as the company expands into newly available music mediums.  Through signing larger named artists, providing artists with the opportunity for on-camera appearances and airing music videos in non-traditional retail outlets, Nathalie has continued to strengthen the Kid Gloves brand and bring credibility to its name.

Ms. Stebleton’s entrepreneurial background, business management and legal experience have well prepared her to lead Kid Gloves into these new markets.  Prior to co-founding Kid Gloves Music, her experience in the entertainment industry included extensive business administration, legal work and accounts management.  During her years at Manatt Phelps and Phillips, she edited a book on copyright law, prepared documents for the entertainment division, edited projects for Disney and assisted in research for larger cases.  She also worked with Capella International, Orion Pictures and worked in the production offices of the movie “Babe.”  In addition to legal work, Nathalie was involved with music licensing, music clearance and negotiating agreements for the American Lung Association.

Ms. Stebleton is a linguist, too.  Before the entertainment industry, she operated her own translation company servicing such high-profile clients as the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and Tarrant Apparel Group.  Her extensive travel, language and work experience abroad has helped her gain a global perspective and cultural sensitivity to business practices around the world.

Skilled in human resources, Nathalie's other strengths include her ability to build solid relationships with her clients and artists. She recruits new talent for Kid Gloves and seeks ideas that enable the company to find new and exciting outlets for their music.  Her lifelong commitment to music as a powerful means of communication and unifying humanity is reflective in her work on a daily basis.
