Singer-songwriter Naomi Cooke Johnson has signed a worldwide music publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music.

Johnson, who was once part of the country trio Runaway June, co-wrote the group’s Gold-certified top 10 hit, “Buy My Own Drinks,” among others. She announced she had stepped away from the group in early 2022 to pursue a solo career. Johnson then aligned with Fusion Music for management.

“Naomi is intuitive, smart, forward-thinking, and knows exactly who she is,” says Christina Wiltshire, Senior Director A&R, Warner Chappell Music. “We’re very excited to be on her team as she takes this next step in her artist career.”
