Harrison Hackett has inked a publishing deal with Story House Collective and Essential Music Publishing.
“We’re excited to welcome Harrison Hackett to Story House,” shares Story House Collective Founder Matthew West. “From the moment I heard his work, it was clear he has a unique talent. Harrison’s authenticity and lyrical strength are exactly what we value here, and I’m confident his future is incredibly bright. I’m looking forward to watching his career soar.”
“I’ve always known, since I was a kid, that music and songwriting are a huge part of what God made me to do,” says Hackett. “The Lord has given me a gift — to tell my story, to help others tell theirs and to use that gift to spread the Gospel of Jesus. God clearly led me to Story House and Essential Music Publishing, and I couldn’t be more excited to see what He does through this partnership.”
The California native moved to Nashville at the age of two and began writing songs by the age of 12. With a passion for faith-based music, Hackett recently wrote a string of songs for Cory Asbury.
