Ben Van Maarth has signed with Back Row Publishing.

Van Maarth began his career in 2018 as a touring guitarist for Tucker Beathard and Troy Cartwright before shifting his focus to production in 2022, going on to shape records for Dipper, Cartwright, Clayton Mullen and others. He has since landed writing cuts with Tyler Nance, Your Neighbors, Ian Harrison, Cole Phillips and Thomas Ventura. Van Maarth also maintains his own artist project, Benny Vans.

“I’m so lucky to have found a team who’s just as excited about the music I’m making as I am,” says Van Maarth. “They tell you to find your champion, and I’m incredibly lucky to say I’ve found mine. Taylor and the entire team are building something truly special at Back Row, and I’m honored to be a part of it.”

“Ben is the type of writer I’ve always wanted to work with,” adds Director of A&R Taylor Antle. “He is a true triple-threat in the writing room who possesses a great ability to adapt to an artist’s vision while still producing unique and exciting elements in every song. His raw talent is undeniable. I have loved everything Ben has done in the past and present, but I am even more excited for what the future holds.”
