Grammy-nominated hitmaker Jessi Alexander has signed a worldwide publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music Nashville and Perfect Game Creative. This deal marks Alexander as the flagship signing for Perfect Game Creative, launched by industry veteran Jessi Vaughn Stevenson last year.

A Tennessee native, Alexander has penned 10 No. 1 hits throughout her career, including Luke Combs’ “Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma” and Morgan Wallen’s “Don’t Think Jesus.” Additional cuts include Megan Moroney’s “No Caller ID,” Dustin Lynch & Jelly Roll’s “Chevrolet,” Blake Shelton’s “Mine Would Be You” and “Drink On It,” Scotty McCreery’s “In Between,” Lee Brice’s “I Drive Your Truck,” Cole Swindell & Lainey Wilson’s “Never Say Never,” and Justin Moore & Priscilla Block’s “You, Me, and Whiskey.”

Alexander is also behind the global hit “The Climb” performed by Miley Cyrus, which earned an MTV Movie Award for Best Song from a Movie.

“So grateful I still get to have my dream job of being a songwriter… and getting to continue my partnership with Austen, alongside my longtime collaborator Jessi Vaughn, feels like a dream come true,” shares Alexander. “I couldn’t be more excited to walk into this next chapter of my career with people that feel like family – and who believe in me every step of the way.”

“Jessi Alexander is undoubtedly one of the all-time greats in country music,” says Austen Adams, President, WCM Nashville. “She’s a powerhouse songwriter with a deep catalog of hits that spans generations, leaving a lasting impact on the genre. Our relationship goes back over twenty years, and I’m happy to partner with her once again. The entire Warner Chappell team is honored to continue this journey alongside Jessi A and Jessi Vaughn as we work together to further elevate her global impact.”

“To say this moment feels full circle is an understatement,” adds Vaughn Stevenson, Founder, Perfect Game Creative. “I began my career working alongside Jessi, and over the past decade we’ve continued that relationship in different capacities. To now launch something of my own, in partnership with my home for many years and to have a singer-songwriter of her caliber trust me enough to step into this next chapter together feels both incredibly special and deeply strategic. We have spent years building momentum together, but in a lot of ways this feels like we are just getting started.”

Her recent awards include MusicRow’s Female Songwriter of the Year for two consecutive years (2023 and 2024) and NMPA Gold & Platinum Gala Top Female Songwriter (2024). She also notched a GRAMMY nomination in 2025 for Best Song Written for Visual Media with “Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma” and a Songwriter of the Year nomination at the 60th ACM Awards.
