Ryan Hurd has signed a management deal with The Core Entertainment.

Renowned for his mix of modern country storytelling and rock-inspired production, the Nashville-based Big Machine Records artist has surpassed one billion on-demand career streams. He has earned multiple award nominations, including CMA Awards, ACM Awards and CMT Music Awards, as well as two Grammy nominations. In addition, he has achieved several No. 1 hits as both a singer and songwriter with cuts by Blake Shelton, Jordan Davis, Luke Bryan, Lady A, Diplo, Morgan Wallen and more. The Core will be working alongside Hurd to advance his artistic and commercial success.

Hurd is preparing to release his sophomore album, Midwest Rock & Roll, on March 21. The 12-track album, which Hurd co-wrote in full, offers a cinematic glimpse into the lives of heartland dreamers, celebrating his Midwestern roots and the pursuit of a dream. His latest single, “Die For It,” co-written with Mark Holman and Randy Montana, delves into the complexities of love, from its highest peaks to its deepest valleys. The track sets the stage for the album, which Hurd describes as a coming-of-age journey that captures the feeling of playing in your first band.

“Ryan’s ability to seamlessly blend country storytelling with rock influences makes him a unique and powerful voice in today’s music landscape,” share Chief Zaruk and Simon Tikhman, Co-Founders and CEOs of The Core Entertainment. “His knack for crafting compelling music that resonates across genres is something we’re incredibly excited to support as he enters this next era.”

Hurd will be managed by Zaruk and Tikhman, alongside Brittani Johnson.
