Ebach, who was named SESAC’s 2017 Songwriter of the Year, has earned four No. 1 songs including “Good Girl” by Dustin Lynch, “Here Tonight” and “Sleep Without You” by Brett Young, and “Singles You Up” by Jordan Davis. Other artists including Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan, Jake Owen, Dan + Shay, Jimmie Allen, Mitchell Tenpenny, and Maddie & Tae have also recorded his songs.

Missy Roberts, Senior Creative Director at UMPG Nashville said, “Ebach has quickly become one of Nashville’s premiere multi-genre writer-producers. His work ethic and drive are second to none. We could not be more honored that he chose to bring his immense talents to UMPG.”

Ebach added, “I am extremely excited about this new partnership with UMPG. Missy Roberts has been someone I’ve admired as a publisher for many years. Troy Tomlinson taking over leadership really confirmed that UMPG is where I want to be in this new creative season.”
