Sony Music Nashville has signed Seth Ennis to the Arista Nashville roster, and has immediately released Ennis’ debut track, “Woke Up In Nashville.”

“I’m so excited about Seth and his music,” says Randy Goodman, Chairman & CEO, Sony Music Nashville. “He represents everything good about our format and its future; young, energetic, incredible songwriter and performer. He’s the whole package and the real deal!”

Co-written by Ennis, David Hodges and Blair Daly and produced by Corey Crowder, “Woke Up In Nashville” showcases the 23-year-old’s versatile musicianship, as Ennis plays all instruments and sings all vocals on the track.

As the middle son of a military colonel, he honed his talents growing up around the world – spending time in Georgia, Alabama, Washington D.C. and Japan before age 16. Ennis moved to Nashville in 2013. By 2015, he had signed with Scott Ponce and Crowder at Liz Rose Music/Warner Chappell Music, teamed up with Marc Dennis and Sabrina Butera at Creative Artist Agency and is managed by Jason Owen at Sandbox Entertainment.
