Singer-songwriter Faith Hopkins has signed a publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and Play It Again Music.
Last week, Hopkins released her debut track, “Oops (There Goes My Heart),” which she co-wrote with Kyle Clark and Dylan Brady, about serendipitously meeting a guy at a bar on what was supposed to be a girls’ night out.
The Huntington Beach, California native grew up singing around her house as well as through the Academy of Performing Arts high school program. Hopkins eventually started writing songs, tapping into elements of some of her favorite artists and inspired by her love of girl’s girl jams from talent like Kelsea Ballerini and Sabrina Carpenter, the storytelling of hitmakers such as Nora Jones and Sara Bareilles, and the vocals of Lennon Stella and Sasha Sloan.
“Faith’s vibrant songwriting, combined with her charming vocals, captivated us instantly,” says Ben Vaughn, President & CEO, Warner Chappell Music Nashville. “Together with Dallas and the entire team at PIA, we’re ready to help her reach even more listeners that will resonate with her music.”
Dallas Davidson, Founder, Play It Again Music, adds, “When I first heard Faith’s music, I could immediately tell her writing was a breath of fresh air. Her optimistic and honest storytelling has a way of sticking with you. We look forward to working with both Faith and Warner Chappell to amplify her voice in songwriting in Nashville and beyond.”
“Signing with Warner Chappell and Play it Again Music has been a surreal experience,” shares Hopkins. “Getting the opportunity to learn from a legend like Dallas Davidson and the Warner Chappell team has been something I’ve dreamed about since I moved here six years ago. While I’ve been writing since I can remember, it feels like I am just now getting started. This opportunity is an absolute blessing and I’m so excited to grow with this team!!”
