Conner Smith has signed with Valory Music Co.

The 19-year-old Music City native spent the past few years balancing homework and baseball while introducing himself to country fans from coast to coast, performing alongside acts including Sam Hunt, Kane Brown, and Kip Moore.  Recently collaborating with an array of esteemed songwriters including Ashley Gorley, Josh Osborne, Jessie Jo Dillon and Hunter Phelps, Conner is currently recording new music with producer/songwriter Zach Crowell.

“Conner’s talent and sophistication far exceeds his age,” said BMLG President/CEO Scott Borchetta. “He’s hot-wired his vision, songwriting and artistry and is ready for prime time. This is a very important signing for a very important young new artist.”

“I feel so blessed to be part of the Big Machine and Valory family,” said Conner. “The belief they have in me and my music is something I am so grateful for. Trusting them with the future of my art and career is a decision I couldn’t be more confident in. I can’t wait for the songs and stories we’ll be able to share together.”

Conner is managed by HOMESTEAD/Red Light Management in Nashville.
