ACM Song of the Year-nominated songwriter Kat Higgins has renewed her publishing deal with BMG.

Higgins’ recent No. 1 single, “The Painter” by Cody Johnson, is nominated for Song of the Year at the upcoming 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards. She also penned the 2021 No. 1 “Knowing You” by Kenny Chesney.

Born and raised in Canada, Higgins grew up playing and touring full time with her family’s Irish folk band, which introduced her to the world of songwriting and eventually led to her settling in Nashville. Since landing in Music City, she has penned songs cut by Carrie Underwood, Runaway June, The Lone Bellow and more, and has also begun releasing her own music.

“BMG is thrilled to continue this creative journey with Kat Higgins,” says Amy Hendron Scott, BMG’s Director, Artists & Repertoire. “Kat is an amazing talent and we are honored to be on her team!

“I love that BMG has always fostered my authentic voice and encouraged me to step out, take risks and have fun in songwriting,” says Higgins. “Pat [Higdon], Chris [Oglesby] and Amy have been champions for me. I feel that warm homey feeling every time I’m around them and at the same time, I’m shocked that I get to work with these powerhouses. BMG and Pat Higdon together are my dream team. I’m so excited for this next chapter!”

“Kat’s such a great writer!” says Higdon of Patrick Joseph Music. “It’s an honor to continue working with her and the wonderful BMG team!”
