Jay Webb has signed a global publishing deal with Sony Music Publishing Nashville.
“Songwriting is where the magic happens, and it’s always been my goal to write music that real people can relate to,” shares Webb. “To now have the chance to do that with Sony is a dream come true. Josh [Van Valkenburg] was one of the first people I met in Nashville and has been a huge mentor of mine since day one. I’m grateful for his belief in me and excited to see what we can build together!”
Hailing from Alabama, Webb split his time between small town living and the big city, using music to cope with his turbulent upbringing. He picked up the writing pen as a teenage, and made demos in his bedroom. He started growing his fanbase through his independently released tracks.
Webb released his authentic ballad “One More Shot” earlier this month. The lyrics paint the picture of trying to numb life’s low points through the bottom of a bottle. The single serves as a preview to his newly announced album Where To Find Me, due July 25.
“Jay Webb is a superstar in the making,” says Van Valkenburg. “His authenticity resonates with an audience that’s fighting through the same struggles he so vulnerably sings about from his own life experience. He’ll also drop an anthem on you that’s perfect for a hot day on a pontoon boat. It’s an honor to be a part of his journey and to champion his songwriting career.”
