Lalo Guzman has extended his global publishing deal with SMACKSongs. The news comes just as he clinches his second No. 1 hit with Blake Shelton’s “Texas.”

Guzman first joined SMACK in 2020. Soon after, the AIMP Rising Songwriter of the Year nominee landed his first No. 1 at country radio with “Cowboy Songs,” recorded by George Birge.

“Lalo is incredibly talented and such a vital part of SMACK,” shares Samantha Sarno, Creative Director at SMACK. “Watching his success has been amazing, and this is only the beginning. We’re thrilled to continue working with him!”

During his time with SMACK, Guzman has been making waves with Dylan Schneider’s radio singles “Better Than You Left Me” and “Ain’t Missin’ You,” as well as Nate Smith’s “Wish I Never Felt”–the latter two of which he produced. His catalog also boasts “Broken Heart Thing” by Madeline Merlo and Dustin Lynch, and “Shrank” by Jake Owen.

Additionally, Guzman has gathered songwriting and production credits with artists including Jason Aldean, Ella Langley, Tyler Rich, Colt Ford, Tyler Farr and more.

“I’m excited to re-sign with SMACK and continue building on what we’ve achieved these last few years,” says Guzman. “I’m so thankful to be a part of this team and look forward to what this next season has in store.”
