Hit songwriter Jesse Lee has entered into an exclusive worldwide agreement with Disney Music Group, it was announced by Mio Vukovic, SVP A&R/Head Of Creative.

Voted as MusicRow Magazine’s “Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year” in 2017, Jesse has enjoyed chart topping singles with Kelsea Ballerini (“Peter Pan”) and Brett Young’s three-week No. 1 (“Like I Loved You”), as well as releases on Keith Urban, Straight No Chaser and more. “Peter Pan” earned her the coveted peer-voted “10 Songs I Wish I’d Written” award at the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall Of Fame Gala in 2017.

“Jesse Lee is a tremendous talent and we are thrilled to be a part of this new chapter in her illustrious songwriting journey,” said Vukovic.

“I am so excited to be joining the Disney family!” Lee said. “I wrote a song inspired by a character that changed my life, and now I write for the company that created that character. It doesn’t get any more ‘meant to be’ than that. I feel so lucky to be working with the DMG team who have welcomed me with open arms and hit the ground running. I am looking forward to creating a diverse catalogue that will have endless opportunity within the Disney company and beyond. This next musical chapter of mine is sure going to be fun!”
