Jacob Hackworth has signed with The Neal Agency for booking.

The West Plains, Missouri native amassed more than a billion streams in 2025 as a songwriter. He has earned over 60 major label cuts, including Bailey Zimmerman’s six-week No.1 hit, “Rock and a Hard Place,” Corey Kent’s No. 1 hit “This Heart,” three songs from Jelly Roll’s GRAMMY-winning, chart-topping album Beautifully Broken, Morgan Wallen’s “Jack and Jill,” six songs from Tucker Wetmore’s debut album including“Wine Into Whiskey,” and more.

Hackworth began writing songs as a child and earned his first industry recognition with his releases, “When I Don’t,” “You Ain’t” and “Bad As I Do.” He relocated to Music City in 2019 and earned his first publishing deal with Goat Island Sound & Boom Music Group in 2022.

“I couldn’t be happier to have The Neal Agency as part of my team. I’ve watched them build an incredible reputation — not just for the success they’ve achieved, but for the way they genuinely champion their artists. Seeing what they’ve done for friends of mine who are already on the roster made the decision feel like a no-brainer,” says Hackworth. “From my very first meeting with Jake, we just clicked. He understood the vision, the long game and who I am as an artist. And honestly, my dad’s one of the best judges of character I know — he met Jake and immediately said, ‘That’s your guy.’ When your gut and your circle both say ‘yes,’ you listen.”

“We’re excited to add Jacob Hackworth to TNA’s roster,” shares TNA Agent Jake Moore. “He is a proven hit songwriter and we can’t wait for the world to see what an incredibly talented artist he is as well.”
