Songwriter Jon Sherwood has signed an exclusive, global publishing agreement with Universal Music Publishing Group Nashville.
A native of Palmdale, California, Sherwood’s love of music took root as a kid listening to Tom Petty songs with his dad and has developed into a burgeoning songwriting career. He recently celebrated a top 10 single with Jackson Dean’s “Fearless,” and also penned the current top 10 single “Backup Plan” by Bailey Zimmerman featuring Luke Combs.
“Jon has such a distinctive songwriting voice, and I knew it was something I wanted to be a part of the first time he played me a song,” says Sam Nasr, Manager, A&R, UMPG Nashville. “His talent, passion, and creative energy are undeniable. We’re honored to be part of this upcoming chapter!”
“I’m ready to make some magic and break the mold with UMPG,” adds Sherwood. “They are a powerhouse publisher and this next chapter for us is nothing but blue-sky territory.”
