Sony Music Publishing Nashville, in partnership with Relative Music Group, announced today the signing of multi-platinum country singer, songwriter and artist Jameson Rodgers to a global publishing agreement.
MusicRow Discovery Artist of the Year winner and iHeartRadio Music Awards nominee Jameson Rodgers is an in-demand country music artist and hitmaker, having opened for the likes of Luke Combs, Florida Georgia Line, Darius Rucker, Sam Hunt, Luke Bryan and many more.
He recently achieved back-to-back platinum certified, #1 hits with “Some Girls” and “Cold Beer Calling My Name” featuring Luke Combs. He also unveiled his new, independent EP entitled JAMO – a three-song project which marks a return to his roots and showcases his artistry across every aspect, from song selection to production and artwork.
As a songwriter, Rodgers has penned numerous chart-topping hits for talent including Florida Georgia Line (Top 10 single “Talk You Out of It”) and Chris Lane (#1 smash “I Don’t Know About You”), as well as deep cuts for Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Jon Pardi, Jordan Davis and more.
Vice President, Creative, Sony Music Publishing Nashville Kenley Flynn said, “Jameson Rodgers is as authentic and consistent as they come – he’s a true songwriter and artist that shows up every day to write the stories he knows. We are so happy to partner with Michael and Relative Music Group with Jameson to move into the next chapter of Jameson’s long and bright future.”
“I have been a Jameson Rodgers fan for a long time and it’s an added bonus that he is a good friend of mine. I have been a champion of his songs for nearly 10 years and I truly think he is one of Nashville’s great songwriters. He always comes prepared. He’s a hard worker and he is a standup guy. I am honored to have him on the relative team and can’t wait to see what he brings to the table over these next few years,” said Hardy, Partner, Relative Music Group.
“Joining forces with Relative and Sony feels like the right next step for me,” said Jameson Rodgers. “I am grateful for where I’ve come from and I’m looking forward to where this new partnership takes me. I’ve never been more inspired to write songs and teaming up with my old friend, Hardy, is going to be fun. I’ve had a front row seat in watching him become one of the best songwriters this town has seen so it was a no brainer to jump on his team. I’ve known Kenley Flynn for a long time and have a lot of respect for his work ethic and passion, so I’m excited to get to work with him again, along with everyone else on the Sony Music Publishing team. I’m also really excited to team up with Jesse, Caroline, Ali and Dennis at Relative. I love their passion for songs and songwriters. Good things ahead!”
