“We, alongside Tofer Brown and Chromatic Music, are incredibly excited to work with Aaron Chafin!” says Brad Kennard, SVP A&R at Concord Music Publishing Nashville. “Aaron is a uniquely gifted songwriter and producer, who’s already having success across country, pop, alternative, and in the film & television world. He’s a perfect match for Concord’s desire to win in every musical arena.”
“After our first time working together a couple of years ago, I knew I had to be a part of Aaron’s musical journey,” Brown adds. “He is one of the most talented producer/writers that I’ve worked with. I am so impressed by his diversity in production and his ability to jump from genre to genre–and to do it all so well is so inspiring. There is no limit to his talent and professionalism, and I am excited to work with him, alongside my Concord family.”
“Super excited to be joining Chromatic Music and Concord for my publishing,” shares Chafin. “The opportunities presented from the team were undeniable from the beginning, and I feel more than confident within their worldwide network of collaborations!”
This marks the second signing under the new joint venture with Chromatic Music, founded by songwriter Tofer Brown. The new creative endeavor was founded to develop, mentor and partner with artists, producers, and songwriters of all genres. Chromatic’s first signing earlier this year was songwriter Lauren Hungate.
