Caldwell has signed a global publishing deal with Warner Chappell Music Nashville and Cornman Music.

Caldwell picked up the drums at age five and first turned to songwriting during high school. Inspired by the sounds of Eminem, Elvis Presley, Bruno Mars and Morgan Wallen, his track “Beer & Baddies” featuring Sexyy Red debuted at No. 31 on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart and Rolling Stone named him UK’s #1 Artist to Watch. The Greenville, South Carolina native recently made his CMA Fest debut on the Dr Pepper Amp Stage. He recently signed with EMPIRE Nashville.

“I knew I wanted to work with the Cornman guys from the first time we all drank whiskey till the sun came up. I feel I have found a second home outside of South Carolina with Warner Chappell and Cornman from Austen [Adams], Nate [Lowery], Chris [Owen], and the immortal Brett James. The team truly got my music, my songwriting and who I am as an artist. I’m ready to contribute to the ongoing legacy of Brett James and put a few trophies on some shelves,” he shares.

“Caldwell’s ability to weave country, rock, and hip-hop into a sound that feels so distinct and genuine is rare,” says Christina Wiltshire, VP A&R, WCM Nashville. “He’s a dynamic storyteller with no limit to where his music can go, and we’re thrilled to champion him alongside our friends at Cornman.”

“Brett James and I met with Caldwell back in August and quickly realized that we wanted to work with him,” addsLowery, CEO, Cornman Music. “Brett really believed in him and his music and was confident that he was gonna be a star. Chris Owen and I look forward to working together with Caldwell and his team.”
