Warner Chappell Music, in partnership with Influence Media and Songs & Daughters Publishing, has renewed its global pub deal with Nicolle Galyon.
Galyon, who’s been with WCM for 15 years, has garnered 2b+ streams in the last two years alone on tracks like Kelsea Ballerini & LANY’s “I Quit Drinking,” Blake Shelton’s “Minimum Wage,” Dierks Bentley’s “Gone” and Ballerini’s “half of my hometown” f/Kenny Chesney, the latter of which sits atop the Country Airplay charts as her eighth career #1.
Her credits also include platinum certified hits like Camila Cabello’s “Consequences,” Miranda Lamberts’ “Automatic” and Keith Urban’s “We Were Us,” as well as Dan + Shay’s 7x multi-platinum “Tequila.”
Most recently, Galyon earned an ACM nom for Songwriter of the Year and was previously recognized by the Recording Academy, ACM, NSAI and more. She was also named BMI’s Songwriter of the Year in 2019, the same year she launched her record label and publishing house, Songs & Daughters.
“As a songwriter & publisher, it feels monumental to get to partner with companies that push me forward and have also felt like home since day one,” said Galyon.
“Nicolle’s songs have always made us feel emotions that we all can relate to. Well before her first hit, it was clear that her writing style was distinct as she so naturally wrapped her lyrics around melodies,” added WCM Nashville President/CEO Ben Vaughn.
“We are so proud to support Nicolle through our phenomenal partnership with Ben Vaughn, BJ Hill, and Warner Chappell and look forward to the next phase of this journey,” added Influence Founder/Co-Managing Partner Lylette Pizarro.
