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 currently sits atop the Country Airplay charts. It's Galyon's eighth #1.
Her credits also include platinum-certified hits like
Camila Cabello’s “Consequences,”
Miranda Lamberts’ “Automatic” and
Keith Urban’s “We Were Us” and
Dan + Shay’s 7x platinum “Tequila.” Galyon, who recently earned an
ACM nom for Songwriter of the Year, has previously been recognized by the
Recording Academy,
ACM,
NSAI and more. She was 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 and 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,” said Influence founder/co-managing partner
Lylette Pizarro.
