Peytan Porter has inked a global publishing agreement with Jody Williams Songs and Sony Music Publishing Nashville.

“I’m incredibly excited to begin this next chapter of my artistry and songwriting career with Jody Williams Songs and Sony Music Publishing,” shares Porter. “For the past five years, JWS has been a safe, inspiring space for me to grow and create, so I’m deeply grateful to continue evolving with them while also stepping into new possibilities by joining the powerhouse that is SMP. Like the best art, this partnership lives at the intersection of familiarity and forward momentum. I can’t wait to see what we build together.”

“I’ve been a fan of Peytan for years now. She’s an incredibly talented vocalist who knows exactly who she is as an artist and a songwriter. I have so much respect for the Jody Williams Songs team and the talent they’ve been fostering – I couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with them as we champion Peytan and her music,” says Synnovea Halsel, Manager of Creative A&R, Sony Music Publishing Nashville.

“Partnering with Synnovea on this next chapter in Peytan’s career was such an obvious choice,” adds Nina Jenkins Fisher, JWS Vice President/General Manager. “She has an incredible ear and is laser focused. Alongside Rusty, she hypes up her roster like no one else. They see the vision for this next season with Peytan, and we couldn’t be more excited.”

A genre-blending artist, Porter combines her Appalachian country roots with her passion for songwriting. The Georgia native’s breakout In My Head has amassed over 10 million streams, and her recently released EP Grown featured fan favorites such as “God’s Hotel,” “Speaking of Georgia” and “Lemonade.” She has opened for Tim McGraw and has shared the stage with Willie Nelson, Ian Munsick, Hailey Whitters, Brett Eldredge and Jon Pardi. Across her social media platforms, Porter has grown her platforms with 330k followers across various channels and has 50 million TikTok views.
