UMPG Nashville has inked Justin Ebach to a global pub deal. Previously named SESAC’s 2017 Songwriter of the Year, Ebach has penned four #1 tracks including Dustin Lynch’s “Good Girl,” Brett Young’s “Here Tonight,” and “Sleep Without You,” as well as Jordan Davis’ “Singles You Up.”

Other co-writes by the Florida native have been recorded by the likes of Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, and Dan & Shay, as well as rising artists like Jimmie Allen, Mitchell Tenpenny, and Maddie & Tae.

“Ebach has quickly become one of Nashville’s premiere multi-genre writer-producers. We could not be more honored that he chose to bring his immense talents to UMPG,” said UMPG Nashville’s Senior Creative Director Missy Roberts. Ebach adds, “Missy Roberts has been someone I’ve admired as a publisher for many years. Troy Tomlinson taking over leadership really confirmed that UMPG is where I want to be in this new creative season.”
