WALLEN SIGNS WITH WARNER CHAPPELL; DEAL INCLUDES ABILITY TO INK WRITERS
2/6/24

Morgan Wallen has signed a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music. As a part of the deal, he will have the ability to sign songwriters in partnership with WCM.

“I look forward to working with Warner Chappell as my new music publishing partner and would like to thank them for also offering support in signing songwriters I believe in,” said Wallen, who was named Songwriter of the Year at the 2023 BMI Country Awards. “In many ways, I feel like I've always been a songwriter first, and because of that, the publishing community is especially close to my heart. I'm honored to use this partnership as an opportunity to give other songwriters a helping hand.”

Warner Chappell Music Nashville President and CEO Ben Vaughn said: "When you listen to the craftsmanship of songs that Morgan is writing, such as the modern-day classics '7 Summers' and 'Thought You Should Know,' and the impactful songs he's written for other artists like 'You Make It Easy' (Jason Aldean) and 'Wild As Her' (Corey Kent), you start to understand that the man from east Tennessee is quickly becoming one of the most important songwriters of this generation. Our entire Warner Chappell team is so proud of the opportunity to represent his songs."
