Owen Waidley Inks With SMACKSongs

Owen Waidley has signed a publishing deal with SMACKSongs.

Inspired by artists including The Rolling Stones, The Lumineers and Joshua Slone, the California native brings real-life experiences into his songwriting. His songs reflect lessons he has learned firsthand, giving them an honest and personal feel. His creativity, work ethic, and natural ability in the writing room quickly caught the attention of SMACK, making him a strong fit for the team.

“The moment I heard Owen’s songs and voice, I was in,” says Jeremy Groves at SMACKSongs. “The more I’ve gotten to know him, see how hard he works, and how he carries himself, the prouder I am for SMACK to be a part of this next chapter of his story. I can’t wait to see what we build together.”

“There’s something special about having a team that feels like family, and not only is SMACK an unbelievable team but it is truly a family that I am deeply proud to be a part of,” adds Waidley.
