Combustion Music has signed songwriter Chris McKenna to an exclusive publishing deal.

McKenna moved to Nashville in 2019 and quickly built relationships with writers in town. He has garnered a number of cuts, including “Biggest T-Shirt” from Avery Anna, “After Me” released by Morgan Johnston, “Blue Eyes” from Pierre Alexander, and more.

“Chris has built a solid co-writing foundation over the first few years of his songwriting career,” notes Combustion’s Keithan Melton. “What he’s been able to accomplish on his own is highly impressive and we’re thrilled to be on board for the next chapter.”

“I’m so excited to be joining Combustion Music for my first publishing deal,” McKenna adds. “This team has put so much faith into me and quickly made me feel like a part of the family. I can’t wait to get to work and see where it goes from here!”
