Independent music publishing and management company Creative Nation has added songwriter Travis Wood to its roster.

Wood has earned several radio hits in Canada, including three No. 1 singles, 16 Top 10 singles and 10 Gold-certified singles. Among those songs are hits for James Barker Band, including the chart-topper “Keep It Simple,” and additional hits “Good Together” and “There’s a Drink For That.”

“I found Travis on Soundcloud over three years ago, when he still lived in Canada and before I even worked in publishing.  I knew then that the songs he was writing cut through, and I couldn’t be more excited to have him as my first signing at Creative Nation!” Shaina Botwin says.

“I could not be more thrilled to begin my work with everyone at Creative Nation.  It’s truly a dream come true to sign with this company and start the next chapter of my songwriting career alongside some of the most talented people in the industry,” Wood says.

“Already a seasoned songwriter, Travis’s talent and work ethic show that he is on the cusp of an incredible career.  We are excited he joined the CN team and look forward to working together,” Beth Laird says.
