Hit songwriter Chris Tompkins has signed a publishing deal with Boom Music Group and Warner Chappell.

Since arriving in Music City in 2002, Tompkins has notched 16 No. 1 country singles. His first hit was Carrie Underwood‘s “Before He Cheats,” which became a multi-week No. 1 on the major country charts, won numerous awards, and achieved massive pop crossover success. Tompkins followed that up with many more hit songs, including Jason Aldean‘s “Burnin’ It Down,” Luke Bryan‘s “Drunk On You,” Blake Shelton‘s “Sure Be Cool If You Did,” and Dierks Bentley‘s “Drunk On A Plane.” Florida Georgia Line has recorded 11 of Tompkins’ songs, including the hit singles “Dirt,” “Get Your Shine On,” “Round Here” and “Anything Goes.”

“Chris Tompkins is a one of a kind human and one of the most brilliant songwriters Nashville has seen in a long time,” shares Shaina Botwin, Boom’s Sr. Director, A&R. “He’s made an incredible impact on country music already, and I’m thrilled to work alongside him and our partners at Warner Chappell to continue his legacy in the next chapter of his career.”

Warner Chappell’s Sr. Director, A&R/Digital, Jessi Vaughn Stevenson, adds, “It’s a privilege to get to work with a songwriter as accomplished as Chris Tompkins and a blessing to do it with our fantastic partners at Boom, Joe [Fisher] and Shaina. I am excited for this new chapter in Chris’ career and look forward to his songs and successes to come.”

With Boom and Warner Chappell, Tompkins will continue his success in multiple genres. The award-winning songwriter has had songs cut by Tim McGraw, Little Big Town, and Hank Williams Jr., and has also worked with Nelly, Gloria Gaynor, Bette Midler, Nickelback and Jason Isbell.

“I’m so excited to be with Boom & Warner Chappell,” Tompkins says. “I’ve always been a fan of Joe Fisher and it’s great to be working with him and superstar Shaina Botwin. Having Jessi, Ben [Vaughn], and the Warner Chappell team on board too feels like the start of something really great. I’m excited to get to work!”
