Bella McCormick has signed with Sony Music Nashville.

The Nashville native has written with Grammy Award winners Liz Rose, Luke Laird, Lori McKenna, and Steph Jones, as well as No. 1 songwriter Ben West. She has shared stages with Sierra Hull and Drake White, and recently performed headline sets at Proud Larry’s in Oxford, Mississippi and Nashville’s The Basement. McCormick was first inspired to pursue music after performing during a charity show at the Ryman Auditorium when she was 14.

“To say that Sony Nashville has been a blessing in my life would be an understatement. From the moment I walked through the doors, I knew I had found a team of people I could trust with something I hold so close to my heart: my music,” shares McCormick. “Every single person at Sony believes in me not only as an artist and songwriter, but as a human being, and that means more to me than words can express. I don’t take this journey lightly, and I truly believe I was put on this earth to make music. To have a team that shares that belief in me is something I’m incredibly grateful for. This milestone also wouldn’t have been possible without my incredible team at Make Wake — Matt Shay, Kappy and Eliza Turnage — and my amazing attorney, Kent Marcus, whose support and belief in me have meant so much along the way. I’m over the moon to begin this next chapter with Sony and couldn’t feel more confident that my music is in the best hands.”

In celebration of the news, McCormick released her first single, “Dandy,” today.

“I wrote ‘Dandy’ with Ben Stoll and Brandon Day, and it was truly one of the most fun days I’ve ever had in a writing room,” McCormick shared. “I think that energy really shines through in the song. My hope is that when people hear it, they find something they can relate to while also getting to know a little more about me as an artist and as a person.”
