Johnny Clawson has signed a worldwide publishing deal with SmackSongs.

Born and raised in Leesburg, Virginia, Clawson lived in New York City, where he was working in finance. He walked away from his corporate job in 2018 to move to Nashville and pursue his dream of songwriting.

Last year, Clawson released his first single, “Lifetime,” which quickly garnered attention from labels, songwriters and publishing houses in town.

“We are beyond thrilled to welcome Johnny to Smack,” says Sam Sarno, Creative Manager at Smack. “His natural talent as a songwriter and artist is only enhanced by his passion, infectious energy, and work ethic. We are so excited to be on this journey with him and can’t wait to see what we can accomplish together.”

“It is a dream come true to be a part of such an exciting group of creatives,” adds Clawson. “After my first meeting with Sam, I knew that she and the rest of the Smack team were the right partners for me in this next stage of my career. I feel incredibly fortunate for this opportunity and grateful that they have taken this leap of faith with me.”
