Singer-songwriter Madison Kozak has inked a co-publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music Nashville, in partnership with The Core Entertainment.

A native of Ontario, Canada, Kozak now lives in Nashville and credits her musical influence to Patsy Cline, Johnny Cash, Bonnie Raitt, and Shania Twain. Her traditional country influences blends with vivid storytelling and infectious melodies to create her sound.

Kozak has earned cuts with Tucker Wetmore, Hannah McFarland, Abbey Cone, Griffen Palmer and more. She also hosts The Pony Show, a monthly writers’ round at The Late Great in Nashville to showcase emerging talent. Kozak has earned recognition from CMT, Pandora and Sounds Like Nashville.

“Madison is a rare talent with a gift for storytelling,” says Austen Adams, President, WCM Nashville. “I’ve worked with her in multiple capacities throughout her journey so I’m thrilled to bring that full-circle in this new partnership. Warner Chappell is excited to be on her team alongside The Core and we’re looking forward to the future.”

“Madison brings a builder’s mindset to everything she touches, writing with clarity, conviction and a feel for songs that last,” share Simon Tikhman and Chief Zaruk, CEOs and Co-Founders of The Core Entertainment. “We could not be more excited to champion her artistry and help bring her songs to an even wider audience alongside our partners at Warner Chappell Music.”

“As a songwriter, it means the world to partner with companies that shape the sound and culture of music,” adds Kozak. “Pairing The Core’s innovative, development-forward energy with Warner Chappell’s legacy for championing songwriters whose work defines generations – it’s a dream team I’m so proud and humbled to work with.”
