Combustion Atlas Announces First Songwriter To Joint Venture

Combustion Music and Atlas Music Publishing have signed the first writer to the new joint venture Combustion Atlas, which was announced last month.
Jameson Rodgers has inked a worldwide publishing deal with Richard Stumpf (Atlas CEO) and Chris Farren (Combustion owner/President).
Rodgers was born and raised in Batesville, Miss. After a baseball career at Northwest Mississippi Community College, he headed to University of Southern Mississippi where he performed at bars with a band named Silky Smooth.
“Jameson has impressed me not only as a gifted artist and songwriter, but as a self starting manager of his own career,” said Chris Van Belkom, Vice President, Combustion Music. “We’re so excited to get to work with him and add to the relationships he’s been able to create for himself.”
Rodgers joins a prolific and diverse roster of songwriters who have eared a total of 10 ASCAP Country Music awards, including Ashley Gorley being named ASCAP’s 2014 Country Music Songwriter of the Year.
