Songwriter, producer and musician Ed Williams has signed an exclusive publishing agreement with Jody Williams Songs (JWS) and Warner Chappell Music.

With the signing Williams joins his father Jody Williams, founder of JWS, and his brother Driver Williams, who also writes for the company. He previously worked for Sony/ATV Music Publishing in the creative department developing writers and producing artists, and also spent time in the creative departments at Bug Music and Crossfire 3.

Most recently, Williams collaborated with fellow JWS writer Harper O’Neill to co-produce sides and co-write her next single, “My Love, My Love,” alongside O’Neill and JWS writer Jason Nix. The single is set for release Jan. 31.

“Ed Williams writes timeless country songs. His music is inventive and deeply imaginative—you never really know what kind of story he’s about to tell, but you can always count on it being expertly crafted,” says Nina Fisher, JWS Senior Director, Creative. “Like all the Williams men, Ed has a deep respect for and knowledge of our genre. We’ve been looking forward to him being ready to dive in, and I’m thrilled that the time is finally here!”

“I’m so fortunate to have the opportunity to do what I love alongside people I love,” says Ed. “The environment that Nina and Tenasie [Courtright] create for the JWS songwriters is aspirational. I’m so proud to have them, Warner Chappell and the rest of this publishing ‘family,’ if you will, in my corner.”

Jody Williams Songs (JWS) represents Jeremy Spillman, Harper O’Neill, Peytan Porter, Vince Gill, Driver Williams, Jason Nix, Ashley McBryde, Natalie Hemby, Andy Austin, Emily Ann Roberts and Ed Williams, and is a joint venture with Warner Chappell Music.
