Rising singer-songwriter Ashley Ray has signed a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and Lady Fairchild Publishing.

Ray has already made a name for herself in the Nashville songwriting community, with writing credits on Little Big Town’s “The Daughters” and through work with Lori McKenna, Sean McConnell, Ruston Kelly, Caroline Spence, Wade Bowen, Charles Kelly, Brittney Spencer and Christone “Kingfish” Ingram. She also released three studio albums, with her latest, Animal, just released in November 2023.

Jessi Stevenson, Sr. Director, A&R and Digital, Warner Chappell Music Nashville says, “Ashley Ray is such an incredible storyteller. Her brilliance shines through her work as an artist and ability to help other music creators tell their stories.”

The publishing deal is in collaboration with Lady Fairchild Publishing, a newly established publishing company led by Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild. The company will also have a focus on artist development.

“Ashley Ray and I have been writing songs together for several years now. We always envisioned working together in a bigger way. She is a gifted writer and captivating artist, and I’m so thrilled to start this new chapter with her,” shares Fairchild.
