Aaron Armstrong has signed an exclusive publishing deal with Riser House, The Song Factory and hit songwriter/producer Jake Mitchell.

Originally from North Carolina, Armstrong attended Lipscomb University where he interned with Riser House. Outside of school and interning, he started to build his songwriting catalog, eventually penning tunes for Vincent Mason and Eli Winders, among others.

“I didn’t realize Aaron was a songwriter when he started interning with our marketing team,” says Brandon Perdue, SVP of A&R + Publishing at Riser House. “Once we heard some of the songs Aaron was writing, we started placing him in some sessions and consistently received great feedback. After learning that Jake was already starting to mentor Aaron, we jumped at the opportunity to partner on launching Aaron’s career. We see Aaron as a truly special talent who will be a major player in the next generation of hit-makers.”

“I’m beyond grateful for this team and stoked for the journey ahead! Brandon, Kirby [Smith], Allison [Pilotti], and the Riser House crew are the best team I could ever want in my corner, and Jake’s mentorship has been an integral part of helping me grow as a writer,” adds Armstrong. “I’m incredibly thankful to get to do this every day with people I love and respect highly. Let’s get to work!”

“I can’t imagine my career without the encouragement and guidance from peers and mentors who invested time and energy in me. I knew my next step in this industry was to return that investment to the next generation of songwriters,” says Mitchell. “After working with Aaron just a couple of times, it was beyond obvious to me that he’s the flagship writer I wanted to champion. I’m so thankful that Riser House also sees what I see in Aaron, and for their partnership on this deal. I couldn’t be more excited for everyone to get to know Aaron and hear the future of Nashville!”

This signing also signals the official re-launch of legacy publishing company The Song Factory. Their past roster includes Jon Pardi, Ashley McBryde, Dustin Lynch, Bart Butler and more. Riser House CEO Jennifer Johnson brought The Song Factory under the Riser House umbrella upon opening in 2017.
