Sony Music Nashville has signed Willie Jones to an exclusive deal in partnership with The Penthouse.

“Whoa! I can’t wait to see what’s down this road,” says Jones. “I appreciate everyone who has been part of the Willie Jones story so far, and I’m truly blessed. Now, let’s get it.”

The Shreveport, Louisiana native blends hip-hop and country music. Jones has earned critical acclaim for his debut album Right Now, which features the poignant patriotic single “American Dream.” The video clip of this anthem was jointly premiered on CMT and BET, a first for the networks.

Jones is represented by Jonnie Forster at The Penthouse for management and John Huie at CAA for booking. He is signed to a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music Nashville.
