Payton Smith has signed with The Familie for management representation.
Smith debuted on the music scene in 2019, garnering over 50 million streams with his first single “Like I Knew You Would.” He crafted each track of his debut project, and was named a 2021 MusicRow Next Big Thing and CMT Listen Up artist. “Like I Knew You Would” reached No. 7 on Spotify’s Hot Country chart for the year.
In late 2022, Smith inked a deal with Combustion Masters, and under the production of Combustion’s Chris Farren, unveiled “Missed The Boat” in early 2023. His debut album, What Colors Your Wild, was released last year and earned coveted spots on playlists such as Apple’s New In Country, Spotify’s New Music Friday Country, Tidal’s Country Waves, Rising: Country and Amazon Music’s Breakthrough Country, accumulating 3 million streams.
“I am so excited to be working with Payton Smith. I believe Payton is one of the most talented singers, songwriters, and musicians Nashville has to offer and I am fired up to share his talent with the world. 2024 is going to be a big year for Payton Smith,” shares Chase Berlin, artist manager at The Familie.
“I could not be more excited to sign with The Familie as my new management team,” says Payton. “I believe their approach and vision to managing an artist is exactly what I need for my career and I am so excited to get to work. It is fitting that my new EP is called Up From Here. Chase, Royce [Risser], Steve [Astephen], Nano [Tissera] and the whole team… let’s get after it!”
