HURD JOINS BIG MACHINE RECORDS FLOCK
10/21/24

Big Machine Records has inked Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Ryan Hurd, who's penned hits for the likes of Blake Shelton, Jordan Davis, Luke Bryan, Lady A, Morgan Wallen, Conner Smith and Breland, among others.

“Ryan has been part of our extended Big Machine family for quite some time as he’s been a significant writer and contributor to our publishing company, Big Machine Music,” Big Machine Label Group Chairman/CEO Scott Borchetta said. “Adding his recorded artistry to the Big Machine Records roster is truly an honor.”

Hurd has accumulated more than 1b on-demand career streams, collected multiple award nominations and scored several #1s. His debut album, Pelago, reached the Top 5 of Spotify’s most-streamed country albums.

“I’m beyond excited to welcome Ryan Hurd to the Big Machine Records family,” Big Machine Records EVP/General Manager Kris Lamb added. “This is more than just a milestone—it’s a full-circle moment.”

Hurd’s latest single and first for Big Machine, “This Party Sucks,” arrives 10/25, while a full-length project is expected in 2025.
