Songwriter and producer Ian Christian has inked a multi-year publishing deal with Still Working Music and Kobalt.

The Florida native’s love of music initially drew him to Los Angeles, and eventually to Nashville. He took part in ASCAP’s GPS program and has worked as a co-writer and producer for artists including Lauren Alaina, Chris Bandi, Temecula Road, and Lainey Wilson.

“Ian has an easy-going artist-friendly attitude and his attention to lyrics and the song as a whole make him a great producer. He is the perfect fit at Still Working.” said Still Working Music’s Alex Orbison.

Kevin Lane, Creative Director, Kobalt added, “Ian is the kind of writer that you always want to work with. He has a fantastic work ethic and can have a positive effect on all aspects of a song. He is the ideal collaborator and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for him.”
