Country singer-songwriter Cole Phillips has signed a worldwide representation deal with WME in all areas.
The Bridge Creek, Oklahoma native has gained recognition in Nashville with his gritty storytelling, authenticity and powerful vocals. Citing influences such as Hank Williams Jr., David Allan Coe, Zach Bryan, Cody Jinks and Nirvana, he mixes classic country with contemporary style.
His viral breakthrough single “Drinking Alone” has garnered millions of streams to date. His newest project, Steel Toes and Texacos, will release on April 11 via RECORDS Nashville. The EP features five tracks co-written tracks, including the already released “West Tx.”
“Cole’s unique voice as a young songwriter and performer immediately caught our attention,” shares WME’s Geoff Turner. “We are absolutely thrilled to partner with someone this incredibly talented.”
“I like working with real people that are going to do right by me,” adds Phillips. “The people over at WME are real folks with real values and that meant a lot to me the first time we met. Can’t wait to see where this goes!”
Phillips is represented by WHY&HOW for management.
