Presley Barker has inked an exclusive publishing deal with Universal Music Publishing Nashville.

The North Carolina native began playing festivals around the south at age seven and has made appearances on The Today Show and the Grand Ole Opry, and has shared the stage with Billy Strings, Ricky Skaggs, Marty Stuart and Brad Paisley.

“Presley has the voice and songwriting prowess to usher classic country music into the future. His vocals and songs showcase a soul beyond his years, growing a fanbase that spans generations. Presley is a rare and special talent. I am honored to be a part of what is a very bright future ahead,” shares Missy Roberts, VP, A&R, UMPG Nashville.

“I’m incredibly grateful and honored to be joining the Universal Music Publishing family,” adds Barker. “From the very beginning, the team has made me feel right at home, and I couldn’t ask for a more passionate, talented and supportive group of people to work with and who love country music. Their belief in me and my vision means the world, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead!”
