Chuck Wicks has signed a new label deal with Verge Records, led by Mickey Jack Cones. Verge is the label arm of music solutions company ONErpm, and is set to release Wicks’s first new song in nearly two years, “Solid Gold.”
The past year has been a whirlwind for Wicks, who is expecting his first child with wife Kasi, and who recently exited his role as an on-air media personality with The Ty Bentli Show.
“The day news broke that I would not be continuing with the radio show, I got two phone calls…one from Bobby Bones and the other was from Mickey Jack,” shares Wicks. “I’ll never forget it. He said, ‘Chuck, you ready to start making music again or what?’ With zero hesitation I told him I’ve been waiting to hear that from a record label for a long time.”
Wicks continues, “I’m re-energized and refocused on what brought me to this town in the first place and that’s my music! Not everyone gets multiple shots at a dream. I’m humbled to get another shot. Mickey Jack is one of the best in the business and I’m beyond excited to take the journey with his team. This is my third record deal, and I strongly believe that third time’s the charm with Verge Records.”
“Chuck is a proven star, and we can’t wait to show him off!” Cones says.
Wicks earned a Top 5 debut single in 2007 with “Stealing Cinderella,” followed by the Top 15 hit “All I Ever Wanted.” Along the way, he’s also opened a tour for Jason Aldean, and competed on Dancing with the Stars.
