Hit songwriter and producer Alexander Palmer has signed a joint global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music and Cornman Music.
Palmer began learning classical and jazz piano at five years old in his home country of Germany, and also taught himself to play the drums and bass. Splitting his time between Nashville and Los Angeles, Palmer has worked with a bevy of country, pop and hip-hop artists. He has celebrated three multi-Platinum No. 1 country hits with Dierks Bentley’s “Somewhere On A Beach,” Jason Aldean’s “Got What I Got” and Bailey Zimmerman’s “Religiously.” He also worked with Jason Derulo on the five-times Platinum “Whatcha Say” and Chris Brown’s double-Platinum “Turn Up The Music.” Most recently, he co-penned “Huntin’ By Yourself” from Luke Combs’ Fathers & Sons album, which debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart.
“Alex is a seasoned veteran in so many aspects, yet he continues to step up with every new opportunity,” says BJ Hill, SVP, A&R, WCM Nashville. “Being able to partner now with the incredible team at Cornman is like adding rocket fuel to the fire.”
“We’re honored to partner with Alex and have him join the Cornman Music and Warner Chappell family,” adds Nate Lowery, GM and VP, Cornman Music. “I first heard of Alex back in 2016 when we collaborated on the Dierks Bentley hit, ‘Somewhere On A Beach,’ and I’ve been a fan ever since. Brett James, Chris Owen, and I are excited to work with Ben Vaughn, BJ Hill, and the rest of the team, and we look forward to what the future holds.”
