Jon Wayne Hatfield has signed an exclusive co-publishing deal with Big Machine Music and Red Creative Group via their joint venture.
“Jon Wayne is a powerhouse in the making,” says Mike Molinar, President of Big Machine Music. “The might of his vocal is topped only by the authenticity of his story and yearning to connect to people via his music.”
“I’m inspired by Jon Wayne’s story and artistry,” adds Jeremy Stover, Owner/Founder of RED Creative Group. “He writes from a place of authenticity that’s rare and refreshing, and we couldn’t be more excited to support his creative journey.”
A Goshen, Ohio native, Hatfield was recently a finalist in this year’s Tennessee Songwriter Competition held at the iconic Bluebird Café. He joins Big Machine’s publishing roster of Jessie Jo Dillon, Laura Veltz, Geoff Warburton and more.
“I’m incredibly excited that I get to work with two of the best teams in town, Big Machine Music and Red Creative,” he says. “I’m honored that they took a chance on a small-town boy from Ohio like me.”
