Margo Price has inked a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music Nashville.

“It’s an honor to become a part of the Warner Chappell family,” Price shares. “I’ve been writing songs for decades now so it feels empowering to be seen not only as an artist and a singer, producer and author, but also as a songwriter. I’m grateful for Carianne Marshall and the entire team at Warner Chappell for recognizing me as a composer and writer. At the core of everything I do, the writing has always come first and I can’t wait for all that’s ahead.”

Price first garnered attention with her breakthrough debut Midwest Farmer’s Daughter (2016), released on Jack White’s Third Man Records, making her the label’s first-ever country artist. The project hit No. 5 on the Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart, and edged into the Top 10 on the Top Country Albums chart. It earned two Americana Honors & Awards nominations, including Song of the Year, and a win for Emerging Artist of the Year. Her follow-up, All American Made (2017), opened in the Top 5 of Billboard’s Americana/Folk Albums chart, and earned Price nominations for Song of the Year and Album of the Year at the Americana Music Honors & Awards as well as a Grammy nod for Best New Artist. Over the last decade, Price has toured alongside Chris Stapleton and Willie Nelson, among others, and released additional projects including her latest, Hard Headed Woman, which recently earned two GRAMMY nominations.

“Margo has carved out a powerful place in music with songs that cut straight to the truth. She’s fearless in her writing, constantly pushing boundaries while staying rooted in the storytelling tradition that defines country and Americana,” adds Marshall, Co-Chair & COO, Warner Chappell Music. “Our team has been fans of her work for a long time, and we’re thrilled to welcome her to Warner Chappell. This partnership is a true collaboration across our Nashville and Los Angeles teams – especially Christina [Wiltshire] and Greg [Sowders] – as we support Margo in continuing to shape the sound of her generation.”
