Singer-songwriter Halie Ridge has signed an exclusive label and artist development deal with Eclipse Records.
The 25 year old grew up in Thayer, Missouri, in a family that loved music. Inspired by country, pop and soul, she found her voice and style at a young age. She is best known for writing “Girls Like Me,” which was recorded by Martina McBride after Ridge won Season 2 of Songland.
“We are thrilled to welcome Halie Ridge to the Eclipse Music Group family and are excited for the world to hear what she’s been creating,” says Penny Gattis, Partner, Eclipse Music Group. “When Anna [Thiel] first brought her to us, it was a no-brainer—she and Halie have already formed an incredible creative partnership. Halie’s work ethic is unmatched, and paired with her talent and vision, she’s unstoppable.”
“After eight years of being independent, it means everything to finally find a family in Nashville,” adds Ridge. “I’m proud of the road that got me here, but I know the real work is just beginning. I truly trust Penny, Anna, and Courtney with my music, my vision, and the brand we’re building together. It hasn’t always been easy to find people who understand what I’m trying to do, but I know they see me and believe in me.”
Ridge’s debut single “All That” will be released this Friday (May 29).
