Warner Chappell Music and Alex Gaskarth of the band All Time Low have signed a joint-venture publishing deal with musician, songwriter and producer Dan Swank.

Swank has contributed to 60 releases this year alone across multiple genres, with his songs being recorded by Pale Waves, Knox, Taylor Acorn, Mitchell Tenpenny and Charlotte Sands, among others.

“Dan's vision as a songwriter is something truly special,” said WCM SVP A&R Katy Wolaver said. “It's an honor to welcome him to our Warner Chappell family and get to be part of this next chapter in his career."

Gaskarth added, “When I signed into the Warner Chappell system with Greg and Katy, I was welcomed into a collaborative, familial atmosphere, which in my experience, has always made for the best, most natural feeling environment. As a result, great music follows.

"I’m excited and honored to be growing our corner of the space by welcoming in my friend and collaborator Dan Swank as a writer and launching Sweet Heat Songs, which we will look to grow as we welcome in more writers and producers in the near future.”
