Mike Eli, frontman of the multi-Platinum Eli Young Band, has signed an exclusive co-publishing agreement with Big Machine Music, a subsidiary of HYBE America.

Eli co-penned seven of the nine songs featured on the band’s upcoming album Love Talking, due out June 3 via The Valory Music Co. His catalog also features fan-favorites throughout the band’s 20-year run, which has produced four chart-topping singles.

“Much like his unmistakable vocals, Mike’s songwriting cuts through with a warmth that is unique and captivating,” says BMM General Manager Mike Molinar. “He’s also one of the coolest and genuinely nicest guys on the planet. We are so honored to be his publisher partner!”

Eli shares, “Big Machine has been Eli Young Band’s home for years now and it just felt right to start this next chapter with the folks that brought us to the party!”

Eli joins Laura Veltz, Jessie Jo Dillon, Ryan Hurd, Brett Young, Brandy Clark, Eric Paslay, Maddie & Tae, Sara Davis, Matt Dragstem and more at Big Machine Music, the reigning AIMP Nashville Publisher of the Year.
