Sony Music Publishing Nashville Signs Aniston Pate
Sony Music Publishing Nashville has signed rising singer-songwriter Aniston Pate to a global publishing agreement.
Hailing from Texas, Pate is a recent Belmont University grad, where she ended her college experience with a win at the university’s iconic Country Showcase. She has recently earned success with releases including “Honky Tonk Without a Woman,” and is working on a new project alongside acclaimed producers Rob Williford and Aaron Raitiere.
Pate shares, “I want to say thank you to everyone in the Sony team for believing in my songs. Thank you to Emily Carignan for sticking by my side. Thank you to my friends that make even the hardest of times fun. Thank you to Mom and Ian for helping me believe I could do this. And thank you to the Lord for every time He heard me pray.”
Sony Music Publishing Nashville Vice President, Creative A&R Tom Luteran adds, “Aniston is a true unicorn as an artist. When Emily Carignan first played me her music I was intrigued, and when I met her, I was hooked – we both can’t wait for the rest of the world to hear this budding superstar.”
