As the result of a new joint-venture, Sony Music Nashville and Riser House announce the signing of artist and songwriter Mitchell Tenpenny to Riser House/Columbia Nashville.

Tenpenny will release his Riser House/Columbia Nashville debut single this spring. Tenpenny was the flagship artist for full-service label, management, and publishing company Riser House, which was founded by Matt Swanson, Jennifer Johnson, and Tenpenny.

Nashville native Tenpenny’s grandmother was former Sony/ATV Music Publishing CEO Donna Hilley. Tenpenny co-wrote Granger Smith’s Top 5 hit, “If The Boot Fits.”

Sony Music Nashville includes its three country label operations – Arista Nashville, Columbia Nashville, and RCA Nashville – and Provident Music Group, one of the world’s leading Christian music companies. Sony Music Nashville is a division of Sony Music Entertainment.
