Multi-genre songwriter Sara Bares has signed a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music.

The Nashville-based creator graduated from Belmont University in 2022 with a double major in songwriting and music business. During her time at Belmont, she was the inaugural songwriting intern at Nicolle Galyon’s record label and publishing house, Songs & Daughters, as well as the 2021 winner of the Grammy U Songwriting Competition with her song “Not Built To Fly.” Bares was also featured in the 2022 ASCAP Showcase.

She is a session vocalist who specializes in acoustic guitar, vocal arrangements, harmonies and co-production. Known for her poetic lyricism and fresh melodies, Bares has collaborated with Leah Mason, Simon Jonasson, Oliver Frid, Tanner Adell, Ashley Kutcher and Camille Parker, among others.

“I knew from the very first moment I heard one of Sara’s songs that I had to work with her,” says Bethany Mako, Manager, A&R, Warner Chappell Music Nashville. “Her signature sound will have a great impact on Nashville and the music industry as a whole. Above all else, she’s just an incredible person to know and work with. I’m beyond grateful to be a part of her journey!”
