Songwriter Josh Phillips has renewed his global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music.

Originally from North Carolina, Phillips played shows all over the Southeast before moving to Nashville in 2015 to pursue a career in songwriting. His credits include “Dirt Cheap” from Cody Johnson’s latest album, Leather, as well as “Can I Get an Outlaw” and “Angels Working Overtime” recorded by Luke Combs, and “Small Town Small” recorded by Jason Aldean. Phillips has also had cuts with Brantley Gilbert, Chris Young, Michael Ray, Colt Ford and more.

“I’ve had a ringside seat in watching Josh Phillips grow as one of the finest songwriters on Music Row,” says Ben Vaughn, President & CEO, Warner Chappell Music Nashville. “Josh can truly write every kind of song and has a real knack for writing a 100% song–most notably ‘Dirt Cheap,’ which Cody Johnson so masterfully sings. Here’s to many more great years of Josh Phillips songs in country music!”

“Having Ben Vaughn, Brantley Gilbert, Bethany Mako and the entire Warner Chappell team fighting for my songs is second to none and there’s no team that I believe in more,” says Phillips. “I couldn’t be happier to continue my journey with them and I’m beyond grateful to have these folks in my corner!”
