Ken Biddy is the founder of Copperfield Music Group. Born in Woodstock, GA, his earliest dream was to build a successful label and publishing company.  At the young age of eighteen, he began managing his first artist, The Rock-A-Tones.  Later, he managed Ken Springer who recorded for Nashville’s Million Records. In addition to artist management, Ken booked talent throughout the 1960’s in area clubs.

When Million Records closed its doors in the 1972, Ken started his first label imprint, Penny Records, signing Ken Springer as his first act.  By the early 1980’s, Ken had the opportunity to sign the award-winning world famous country/gospel act The Chuck Wagon Gang.  It was at this point that he and his partners decided they needed a more prestigious label name to honor The Chuck Wagon Gang and began Copperfield Records for that purpose. During their 81-year career, which includes the Columbia and Copperfield years, the Gang sold in excess of 40 million records.  Not only were they a successful southern gospel act, they were better known to audiences through their airplay on country radio further increasing consumer awareness winning several Music City News Awards, SESAC, DJ Awards, and induction into the Gospel Music Hall Of Fame.

In addition to The Chuck Wagon Gang, Copperfield Records was home to The Northems, The Ruppes, and Naomi & The Segos.  The label also released several developing country artists and packages by superstars like the Oak Ridge Boys/J. D. Sumner album they distributed through K-Tel Music.
