Trey Pendley has joined Leo33’s artist roster and inked a management deal with Make Wake Artists. His first track with the label, “Drunk as Any Rich Man” is out now.

Hailing from Toad Suck, Arkansas, Pendley’s songwriting is shaped by his lived experience, from fatherhood, healing, and the generational stories that echo through rural America. He is currently working on his debut project.

“It’s wild to think that songs I wrote in the quiet corners of my life are now connecting with teams who truly believe in what I’m trying to say,” shares Pendley. “With Leo33 and Make Wake, I’ve found a circle of people who value honesty, depth, and the long game. I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be.”

“Trey’s voice, both literal and lyrical, is undeniable,” adds Katie Dean, Label Head of Leo33. “The first time we heard him, we knew we were witnessing something rare—an artist who doesn’t just write songs, but offers stories that stick with you. We’re thrilled to welcome Trey to the Leo33 family and can’t wait to support him as he continues to build something meaningful and lasting.”

“From the moment I heard Trey Pendley sing, I knew he had something special. He brings so much heart, honesty, authenticity and grit to everything he does—and he’s just getting started,” shares Shelby Marvel at Make Wake. “I’m so proud to officially welcome him to the Make Wake family and truly honored to be part of his journey.”
