Award winning songwriter Michael White has inked a publishing deal with Major Bob Music.

White has been writing tunes on Music Row for over two decades, where he has built a reputation for his storytelling and craftsmanship. His songs have been cut by Shania Twain, Brooks & Dunn, Charley Pride, Hank Williams Jr., Alan Jackson, George Strait, Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, Cody Johnson, Zach Top and more.

“I got my first cut as a plugger with Michael White being a co-writer on the song. I always knew if I ever got the chance to sign him, I’d do it in a heartbeat,” says Aubrey Daniels, Major Bob Music’s Head of Publishing. “I am so blessed the stars aligned, Michael White is the real deal and his songwriting is the most authentic I’ve ever heard. I am honored to work with him!”

White grew up around music by his father, Grammy-winning singer/songwriter and musician L.E. White, who co-founded Twitty Bird Publishing with Conway Twitty. Twitty cut Michael’s “You Make It Hard To Take The Easy Way Out” as a teenager. After college, Michael signed with Warner Brothers/Reprise in 1992, where he released his debut album Familiar Ground, and toured throughout the ’90s. His tunes have earned numerous awards, including three ASCAP/BMI Airplay Awards for “The Baby” by Blake Shelton, Michael Ray’s “Kiss You In the Morning,” and “Loving Every Minute” by Mark Wills.
