Americana singer-songwriter Ryan Necci has inked a worldwide publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music (WCM) Nashville & Southern Pacific Music.

A Wisconsin native, Necci was introduced to music by his parents’ country and folk records. Shortly after graduating from UW—Eau Claire, he founded Ryan Necci and The Buffalo Gospel, an alt-country group where he serves as lead vocalist. In 2013, they released their debut album We Can Be Horses and have released a collection of more records and EPs since.

In 2022, the band released “If I Was The Last Man,” penned by Necci, and has since garnered over 600k Spotify streams. This past March, the group released The Letting Go: Part 1, a six-track EP that will precede a new full length album later this year. In addition to his band, Necci has also worked with Lori McKenna, Jim Lauderdale, Stephen Wilson Jr., Flatland Cavalry, Ashley Monroe and Luke Grimes.

“The first time I heard Ryan Necci’s music I was stopped in my tracks, and he quickly became one of my favorite songwriters in Nashville,” shared Erland Wanberg, Co-Founder & CEO, Southern Pacific Music. “Ryan’s voice and lyricism are one of a kind; he’s a true artist and masterful storyteller. I’m so grateful to join his team alongside Christina Wiltshire and the Warner Chappell family.”

“I am beyond honored to be joining the Warner Chappell family,” adds Necci. “As a songwriter, you dream of finding a team that truly believes in what you do, and from day one, they’ve championed my work. It’s humbling and inspiring to be surrounded by such a passionate group. I couldn’t be more excited to start this new chapter and see where the songs take us.”
