Songwriter Jamie Paulin has signed a worldwide publishing deal with Anthem Entertainment.

Hailing from the small logging and farming community of Adna, Washington, Paulin’s love of country music started at five years old when his grandmother introduced him to Marty Robbins’ Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs album. He cites Merle Haggard, George Strait, Steve Earle, John Denver, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and John Schneider as artists who have inspired him. Paulin first started writing songs at the age of 11 and moved to Nashville in 1998.

Paulin has penned No. 1 hits for Chris Janson (“Done”) and Kenny Chesney (“Happy Does”), and has had numerous other successful cuts including Justin Moore‘s hit single “Backwoods” and Tim McGraw’s “How I’ll Always Be” from his 2015 studio album Damn Country Music as well as his latest Greatest Hits collection.

Paulin has also had songs recorded by Jordan Davis, Jon Pardi, Kane Brown, Ian Munsick, Shane Proffit, Travis Denning, Scotty McCreery, Jack Ingram and Frank Ray. He currently writes with several Anthem writers, including Janson, Davis, Shane Profitt, Nate Kenyon, Trae Landon and Justin Lantz.

“I’ve tried to sign Jamie for years, but the timing was never right,” shares Noah Dewey, VP of Creative for Anthem Nashville. “We finally figured it out! I’m elated that he’s joining the Anthem family. His infectious personality is only overshadowed by his immense talent as a songwriter. I’m looking forward to continuing to build on Jamie’s already successful career!”

“After being friends with Noah Dewey for years and seeing the success he has had working with other writers, when the opportunity presented itself for us to work together, it just seemed like it was meant to be,” says Paulin. “I’m looking forward to this new venture and working with Gilles [Godard], Noah, Courtney [Crist], Chandler [Thurston] and all the other folks at Anthem!”
